The National Library provides nationwide services to university libraries, public libraries, libraries of universities of applied sciences and special libraries, archives, museums and public administration organisations.
In this survey, which is now open, we ask you to evaluate the services provided by the National Library. You can choose the service or services whose questions you wish to answer from among the following: FinELib, Finna, Finto, Finto AI / Annif, Repository Services, National Bibliography, Koha and Melinda. We hope to receive a large number of responses from as many different perspectives as possible. This survey can be taken by several people from the same organisation.
You can access the survey through this link. Please respond by Friday, 14 October 2022. The survey is in Finnish.
The survey takes an average 8 minutes to answer. The response time depends on the number of services you respond to. The survey is secure, and no personal contact information is collected in it. The survey is carried out by WitMill Oy on behalf of the National Library.
Thank you for your responses!
