Why is it important?
It raises awareness of the importance of library for learning and research activities, and how these university libraries are not considered for development by higher education policymakers and administrators
Perspectives
The findings outline the challenges faced by library users: the presence of traditional libraries, traditional resources and services, and the implementation of new policy. The study highlights the urgent need to redesign libraries, to increase libraries' budgets, and to establish digital resources and services, as well as a national library association.
