Abstract [English]

The provided data illustrates the varying levels of demand for different types of information resources within an academic or research context. This analysis offers valuable insights into the preferences and requirements of users when accessing resources. Notably, there is a substantial need for journals in engineering and technology fields, indicating their crucial role in research and academic endeavors. Theses in engineering and technology also receive a high degree of demand, underlining their significance in scholarly work. Moreover, digital resources appear to be of growing importance, with users frequently and highly requiring them. In contrast, government documents, newspapers, and general encyclopedias are less frequently required, indicating a more specialized or focused interest among users. This data underscores the importance of aligning library collections and digital resources with the specific needs of the academic community. By doing so, institutions can ensure that users have access to the resources that are most essential for their research and learning, thereby enhancing the overall quality of academic endeavors.
