STUDENT ATTITUDES TO THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY: A SURVEY AT SOUTHAMPTON UNIVERSITY

Abstract

A good deal is now known about the use made by students of university libraries, notably from the surveys carried out by Leeds University Library in 1957 and 1960. Statistics of use, however, will not by themselves indicate how good a library is, whether as a bookstock, a building, or an administrative department. How adequate is the bookstock? How fully is it being exploited? How important are physical and personal elements? These are questions librarians are continually asking themselves, but they are also questions readers could be asked directly or indirectly.
