O estudo de usuário obtido por meio da aplicação de um questionário em 56 (cinquenta e seis) usuários da Biblioteca Pública de Délhi, Nova Délhi visando verificar os hábitos de leitura e o objetivo ao visitarem a Biblioteca, propiciou informações sobre os objetivos de leitura, a preferência de idioma e o tipo de acervo utilizado. Observa-se que auxílio dos funcionários da Biblioteca se faz necessário para ajudar os usuários no uso de recursos e serviços para satisfazer suas necessidades de informação. O estudo também revela que os usuários não podem visitar a biblioteca frequentemente devido à falta de tempo, bem como revela que os materiais impressos mais lidos dentre os usuários são revistas e jornais. 2012-11-02 2022-03-21T17:22:42Z 2022-03-21T17:22:42Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/1056 10.36311/1981-1640.2011.v5n2.07.p69 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/70499 eng por https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/1056/2172 https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/1056/2180 https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/1056/5164 application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências Brazilian Journal of Information Science: Research Trends; Vol. 5 No. 2 (2011); 77-96 Brazilian Journal of Information Science: Research Trends; Vol. 5 Núm. 2 (2011); 77-96 Brazilian Journal of Information Science: research trends; v. 5 n. 2 (2011); 77-96 1981-1640
