Library and Learning Services (LLS) care a lot about you and our services and we have a feedback form ready, or you can email us at libraryhelp@northampton.ac.uk with any comments you have. We always want to hear from you and what you think, good and not so good. We are here to make your experience the best we can, make sure you have what you need, when you need it and share our expertise with you at the right time for you. We do not always get it right but we listen to everything you tell us and these are some examples of what we have done to act on what we hear you need...
