Eighteen variables (such as sex, age, and time on campus per day) were studied. Findings showed that students prefer to study at home rather than at the library because they (1) have easy access to their own books and materials, (2) have the use of their own tables or desks, (3) have washrooms available, (4) have complete privacy, (5) are isolated from bull-sessions or other social activity, and (6) have greater opportunities to study after dinner in their respective homes. Sunday, it was found, was the period of peak study activity. Most students study approximately 12 hours a we k. Implications drawn by the author were that educational planners might question whether extensive library facilities were necessary and that study spaces do not need to be a part of a library. (DG)
