The Effect Of Library Management Systems On Efficiency And User Satisfaction In Government College Libraries Of Karnataka

Abstract

This paper analyzes the library management systems of Government College Libraries of Karnataka to identify how well they perform and to what extent undergraduate students are satisfied with the systems in place. The descriptive questionnaire was filled by 500 respondents using Google Forms. Based on the statistics, the books and services received in the library seem to be good generally, especially regarding staff, location, and reading hall. More than 85 percent of the library users used the collection in reference for studying and writing purposes. Most are contented, but improvement opportunities exist with regard to location, operating hours, and other aspects of the library. To make the library an irreplaceable academic resource, the research emphasizes the requirement of reacting to client grievances; it concludes by advising the administration of the college and the library authorities to focus more on filling up the gaps in service delivery.
