Ever wanted to work for the best uni library service in the country? How about 8th of 212 institutions, as measured across 20 countries in a monster survey?

Wait no longer. The results came in last year.

If that link fails try pasting in https://intranet.canterbury.ac.nz/academicservices/documents/International%20Students/Canterbury%20ISB%20SH2019%2002160819_For%20delivery(corrected%20version).pdf

International Student Barometer, University of Canterbury, 2019. i-graduate.

It’s a long read so skipping to pages 93, 104, & 110 should show the most glorious bits.

The big survey numbers ‘195,930 international students and 123,707 domestic students responded from 212 universities in 20 countries. 7 NZ universities participated, with 6,647 responses.’

The NZ results are largely looking at international student experience, and exclude AUT. I have also highlighted ‘Library service’, because, well, that’s what we scored best on.

Summary info about the survey was also posted up via Intercom last year here, including a slick video overview.
