Only 1 of 616 customers responded to NRC's survey. The response was "very satisfied." The low response rate was taken as a indicative of general satisfaction with the Program. All comments and complaints with possible action items were reviewed.
Fees charged for Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (NRC-CISTI) Document Delivery NRC offered three levels of document delivery services. Urgent orders were guaranteed delivery within 2 hours. Direct service orders were filled within 24 hours. Extended service had no deadlines since suppliers from around the world were used to supply documents. Overall, the document delivery services had a fill rate of 87% with a low reported problems rate of 3.1%. The Urgent service guaranteed delivery time was met for over 99% of orders. The document delivery service was scheduled to be discontinued in 2010 so no stakeholder consultation was done. Service standards remained the same as in previous years.
