2006 RSC Customer Satisfaction Survey
“The college has had an extensive information skills programme for five years. JISC has helped this develop through the JISC Collection and CHEST agreements. Without the RSC support visits and updating, we would not have known what new materials was available to support learners or been able to purchase it.”
