Abstract [English]

This study conducted an in-depth analysis of how students use library services, materials, environment and facilities in college libraries in Gondia district. The study concluded that: Majority of the students are satisfied with the library services and collections. Major problems are related to digital resources, time constraints, space, furniture and new edition books. Some students consider the need for training in e-resources, OPAC usage, research skills and guidance. Environment, cleanliness, lighting and quiet were considered good by the majority. The study suggests that focus should be placed on improving digital tools, making new edition books available, increasing space and facilities and conducting training workshops. This study serves as a guide to identify the efficiency of college libraries, student needs and areas for improvement.

Abstract [Hindi]

या अभ्यासाद्वारे गोंदिया जिल्ह्यातील महाविद्यालयीन ग्रंथालयांमध्ये विद्यार्थ्यांनी ग्रंथालयाचे सेवा, साहित्य, वातावरण आणि सुविधा कशा प्रकारे वापरल्या आहेत, याचा सखोल विश्लेषण करण्यात आले. अभ्यासातून असे निष्कर्ष आले की: बहुसंख्य विद्यार्थी ग्रंथालयाच्या सेवांबाबत आणि संग्रहाबाबत समाधानी आहेत. प्रमुख अडचणी डिजिटल संसाधने, वेळेची मर्यादा, जागा, फर्निचर आणि नवीन आवृत्ती पुस्तके यांशी संबंधित आहेत. काही विद्यार्थी ई-संसाधने, OPAC वापर, संशोधन कौशल्य आणि मार्गदर्शन यासाठी प्रशिक्षणाची आवश्यकता मानतात. वातावरण, स्वच्छता, प्रकाश व्यवस्था आणि शांतता बहुसंख्येने चांगले मानली. अभ्यासावरून सुचविले जाते की, डिजिटल साधने सुधारण्यावर, नवीन आवृत्ती पुस्तके उपलब्ध करून देण्यावर, जागा व सुविधांची वाढ करण्यावर आणि प्रशिक्षण कार्यशाळा आयोजित करण्यावर लक्ष केंद्रित करावे. हा अभ्यास महाविद्यालयीन ग्रंथालयांच्या कार्यक्षमता, विद्यार्थी गरजा आणि सुधारणा क्षेत्र ओळखण्यासाठी मार्गदर्शक ठरतो.
