Abstract |
The purpose of the study is to understand the information-seeking behavior and use of information resources by graduate students at the National Taiwan University, and to investigate the usage and satisfaction of subject services of NTU library. This study utilizes the survey data collected via a questionnaire completed by 404 graduate students. The study finds that there is a higher frequency of using electronic resources than print ources in the research process. It also finds that Google is the top choice for gathering information for coursework and research, followed by the library website. Among graduate students, the main purpose of visiting the library, which they only occasionally do, is to borrow printed books. Although there are different dimensions of subject service, the graduate students’ perception of subject services mainly focuses on reference services. Graduate students are generally satisfied with the subject services they have used. The investigation reveals that the general satisfaction level is close to 4 on a scale of 5 measurement for all subject services.
