Abstract

The purpose of the study is to assess the performance of the library services of government colleges of Manipur assessing the views and comments of their user community.A semi-structurally designed questionnaire has been used to understand library services of the colleges and assess user's views and comments covering 41 government colleges of the state and 225 users. In some cases x2 tests have been performed to test the significance of library and information channels, use of services and rating of library facilities. It is found that users are mainly fond of internet access for academic purpose. There are certain aspects on which libraries need to introspect to enhance their way of functioning, mode of delivery of services and facilities they provide.The study is an original one conducted very recently taking into account the government college libraries of Manipur.
