| Popis: | In many countries, university libraries are required to demonstrate quantitatively their value to their institutions. Consequently, many universities spend a large part of their institutional budgets on acquiring new library books, paying for high online journal subscription fees, and recruiting library staff. However, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the contribution of the university libraries to the students' success. Thus, this study, which applied a quantitative survey methodology to quantify the contribution of a Namibian university library to student academic performance, was conducted. The study determined the contribution of the university library services to students' academic performance. Additionally, the study established a relationship between students' library service satisfaction and academic performance. Analysis of library user satisfaction, student age, and gender were also examined. |
