Abstract | In order to measure the effectiveness of its libraries, the City of London Polytechnic Library and Learning Resources Service surveyed its users and compared the results with a study completed the previous year (1973). Tables and statistics have been provided for: number, type, status, and academic department of users; frequency of use; satisfaction and success in finding desired information; journal use; hours of library use; and use of materials. Major findings were basically that library effectiveness had not changed since the previous study, usage had dropped slightly, and the satisfaction level had risen. The study also raised the possibility that the libraries should invest more in lending stock and less in reference and other non-circulating materials, since lack of seating space has limited the use of in-house materials.
