Library Engagement Insights

The Library Engagement Insights shows the proportion of library users who have indicated that the library has helped their awareness, learning and application across seven resource areas (such as Job Skills, Digital Learning), and gives insight into their progression across each stage.

Detail

Respondents are asked whether they were aware of various library resources and services, and whether the library helps them to learn, apply learnings, and gain confidence across these service areas. These four stages are expected to be sequential, with library users initially gaining awareness, followed by learning something new, application of learnings and increased confidence.

  • Awareness: The library has helped me be more aware of applicable resources and services it provides
  • Learning: The library has helped me learn something new
  • Application: I intend to apply what I’ve learnt at the library
  • Confidence: The library has helped me feel more confident
