| contents | Research Support through the Lens of University Library Spaces in the Indian Context Fathima Azra Fazal Rupak Chakravarty Academic Libraries Library Services Doctoral Students Student Satisfaction Library Facilities User Satisfaction (Information) Foreign Countries Space Utilization Does the space a researcher occupies matter? Does it influence how they work? The study emphasizes role of university library space for researchers in this context, and their experiences therein. The study aims to identify doctoral student satisfaction with university library space and hours, their requirements. Literature in this regard is scant compared to student experience, especially in Indian context. Doctoral student needs, particularly in AHSS (Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences) disciplines requires further examination as they depend more on library and spend more time there. Spatial preferences play an important role in how often researchers visit and spend time in their university libraries. The authors conducted a quantitative survey of AHSS doctoral students at five high research ranking state universities in India (n = 504). Study found that researchers were satisfied with present status of university library space and hours but wanted more. Examination of library space and hours from the perspective of AHSS researchers provides librarians with insight into their work preferences and needs. |
