On July 1, 2010, new guidelines for flextime were introduced in the Library on a trial basis. After a year of experience with the new guidelines, an ad hoc group gathered feedback about the trial in order to make recommendations to the managers group, including whether to make the trial permanent. The group developed a brief survey to gather anonymous feedback during the summer 2011. The survey results* are as follows:
