Exploring Students' Utilization of Library Resources at Laghman University of Afghanistan

This research explores students' use of library resources among students in Laghman University, particularly examining the frequency, availability, and awareness of library resources among students. A quantitative research design with a descriptive approach has been employed to collect data from 70 participants from the faculty of agriculture, education, engineering and literature, and humanity of Laghman University. The data were descriptively analyzed using Statistical Software Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 24 by mean and percentage. The significant finding reveals that the majority of the library users are un-willing from the library staff, they use printed books from the library resource, possess minimal skill of using library resources, and they also did not receive any information about the advanced and update of the library resource at Laghman university. Moreover, library resources' usefulness is not satisfying to the students because there are limited resources such as printed books, journal articles, and electronic resources. The collection is also incomplete, and having power, cut, lack of seating facility and up-to-date material are considered from the problems students were confronting daily. Finally, it is recommended that the university authority provide enough library resources such as books, journal articles, and online resources to meet the students' daily needs
