Library service levels

The Library’s mission is to provide the highest quality information services in support of teaching, learning and research at LSE. Further, the Library aims to maintain and enhance its position as a world-class library in support of social science researchers nationally and internationally.

We listen to our users and our staff to help us constantly monitor and improve the level of service we offer.

Additionally, we have a number of Service Targets which we monitor on a monthly or termly basis.  You can see our general service standards and the full results for our service targets for the academic year to date
here. We have put a few interesting facts for last month opposite.
