Abstract

The availability of required books and other reading materials is necessary for research scholars to make effective use of library resources and services. Within the university itself, libraries should offer researchers innovative and responsive library services to meet their academic and educational needs. Understanding how scholars use library resources and services is the primary goal of this study. The researcher gathered primary data from the research scholars by means of a survey and a questionnaire for this study. The analysis reveals that the researchers who are carrying out their studies are pleased with the library's resources and services, and the researchers also suggested that the library should acquire the most recent editions of books, including a reference collection.
