Abstract :
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of user
perceptions towards resource utilization in central
university libraries in Uttar Pradesh, India. Surveying 600
Postgraduate students and Research Scholars, the study
uncovers key factors motivating library use, prominent
resources, and challenges faced by users. Digital resources
emerged as the most utilized, with user training and
resource availability cited as areas needing improvement.
Adopting a dual-method research approach, the study
underscores the pivotal role of guides and teachers in
influencing library use while revealing differences in
resource utilization between the two user groups. The
findings bear significant implications for enhancing library
services, guiding policy formulation, and advocating for
user-centric strategies.
