Description 277-281
A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain user feedback on various aspects of resources and information services
provided by the Kerala State Central Library (KSCL), Thiruvananthapuram. The findings revealed that 43.2% of the
respondents were aware of the reading circle and book display services available in the library. The study also found that
only a few users (9.1%) are highly-satisfied with the e-resources provided by the library. The users are aware about the quiz
programs (40.9%) conducted by the library. The study found that the primary barriers for library users are the lack of
computers and internet services. About 34.1% of the respondents adhered to the hygiene guidelines provided by the library
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study suggests that the library should conduct conferences, workshops, and training
programs for its users to enable them to use e-resources and ICT services effectively and efficiently.
