Publishing and Depository Services Directorate (PDSD) client satisfaction survey – executive summary / prepared by Ad Hoc Research / Patterson, Langlois Consultants ; prepared for Public Services and...: P103-10/2-2017E-PDF
“The Publishing and Depository Services Directorate (PDSD) maintains a central database of Government of Canada publications that is searchable and available to the public. The Directorate has been in transition for some time. In 2014, the Directorate moved to an exclusively electronic publication environment. More recently with the introduction of the Web Renewal Initiative, and the Open Government Initiative, many changes have occurred and there is ambiguity as to how Government of Canada information is disseminated and through which platform. In this context, the Directorate has had to adapt quickly to a changing environment. Given these challenges, the PDSD seeks information and insight from key audiences, notably library professionals and other users of the publications.gc.ca website in order to better position itself for its future role, and to highlight which aspects of its service delivery to focus on. The methodology employed in this study consisted of both qualitative and quantitative components. Qualitative interviews by telephone were conducted with PDSD staff to gather information from an internal perspective about the nature of the clientele at PDSD and some of their challenges. Library professionals were queried with on-line bulletin boards, followed by a quantitative survey. Finally, visitors to the publications website were queried via an on-line survey"--Executive summary, p. 3-4, 5.
