THE NUFFIELD PILOT SURVEY OF LIBRARY USE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS

Abstract

In the autumn of 1956 the Nuffield Foundation invited the Library of the University of Leeds to undertake a statistical survey of the use made of it during the calendar year 1957 by teaching staff, research personnel, and undergraduate students of the university. The object was to ascertain and measure the demand made by the three main types of readers, subdivided according to Department or teaching course, on the resources of the library as a whole and of its various subject‐sections. Outlying libraries, sectional and departmental, were to be taken into account, and the relevance of inter‐library loans to be considered.
