The pie charts represent the results of a questionnaire in which undergraduates and postgraduates were asked about the variety of books and non-printed materials in their school library.
Overall, most of postgraduates were evaluated the range of books as very good while the percentage for undergraduates were half those of all respondents in each of the three categories. With regard to the percentages of postgraduates who rated non-printed materials as not good while undergraduates rates it as very good.
To begin with, undergraduates and postgraduates rated the range of books in three categories: very good, satisfactory, and not good. Only 28% of undergraduates considered the range of books unsatisfactory, compared with 50% of postgraduates. Moreover, 37% of undergraduates rated the range of books as very good, whereas the corresponding figure for postgraduates was considerably lower, at 22%. Meanwhile, 35% of postgraduates were satisfied with the range of books, compared with only 28% of undergraduates.
Turning to the range of non-printed materials, the most noticeable feature is that the ratings given by postgraduates and undergraduates were almost opposite. While 62% of postgraduates rated non-printed materials as not good, 68% of undergraduates considered them very good. Moreover, the percentages of undergraduates who rated these materials as either very good or not good were identical, at 12% in each category. Additionally, 22% of postgraduates were satisfied with this option, compared with 20% of undergraduates, representing a difference of just two percentage points.
