  • Abstract:
  • The study examines the utility perception of library resources and services at Barwani College, focusing on how accessibility, digital resources, and infrastructure affect library use. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys and interviews with students and faculty. Survey results show that most users visit the library weekly and rate the accessibility of resources as good, but report significant barriers such as limited digital resources and inadequate infrastructure. Interviews further highlight issues related to accessibility, outdated digital resources, lack of user awareness, and physical facility challenges. Despite some positive feedback on current services, the findings indicate a need for improvements in digital resources and infrastructure. Recommendations include enhancing digital resources, upgrading library facilities, increasing user training, and improving overall accessibility to address these challenges and enhance library utilization.
