At the first quarterly report of the K21 Quality Coordination Committee 2025, the leaders of the working groups reported on the results of the past quarter, ongoing work and changes.
The University Library Service (ULS) Quality Improvement Report and the Non-Compliant Services Report from the Quality Coordination Working Group were completed and approved. The 2025 Student Needs and Satisfaction Survey questionnaire on library services has been shortened by the Primary Research Working Group at the request of the Quality Office. The questionnaire was approved by the Library Leadership Working Group. The ELTE-wide staff survey was conducted in late 2024. The evaluation of the survey results has started. The survey on the use of electronic content is ongoing. The questionnaires, in Hungarian and English, aim to assess the web browsing habits of students, faculty and researchers, as well as to identify satisfaction and usage, expectations and needs related to the electronic content currently available at the University. An additional block of questions has been added to the faculty questionnaire on Open Access publishing practices. The 2024 and this year's first quarterly reports of the Process Management Working Group have been finalised. Member libraries are invited to submit comments and suggestions on modifying, extending or deleting processes.
The Communication Working Group provided information on the tasks and achievements of the working groups through the website, the newsletter and the short film 3 months – 3 minutes on the mailing list, and contributed to the success of the preparation and administration of the K21 reporting days meetings. The new version of the ULS Quality Management Handbook was made available on the ELTE Digital Institutional Repository (EDIT) and announced on the website and in the newsletter. The Green Library Working Group is finalising the questionnaire for the environmental awareness survey. Members of the Library Leadership Working Group have completed the member libraries' 2024 reports, dissemination reports, this year's work plans and enrollment plans. They approved the reports and work plans of the member libraries and the ULS for this year, as well as the revised Quality Management Manual and the Quality Improvement Report. Six meetings were held in the first quarter, including discussions on changes to the Ministry's statistics, the ELTE Thesis Repository and the installation of the ELTE Browser program for the hosting and delivery of theses, the modification of the 2024 student needs and satisfaction survey questionnaire, the planned electronic content usage questionnaire for this year, the new journal and book procurement calls, and the IKR–SAP data transfer.
