Abstract

A survey was carried out at the Medical Library of the University of Peradeniya to evaluate the services and the usage of library materials available within the library. The methodology consisted of survey research and analysis of library statistics taken during a selected period. A questionnaire designed with some targeted objectives was used as an instrument in the survey along with other tools such as various registers to count the number of users and also the purpose of their visit to the library. Responses received from the survey were turned into data that could be analyzed using standard methods. Results revealed significant variation within and among user groups, concerning various aspects of the study.
