desks have the same problems as physical reference desks

from a researcher's point of view. Generally, satisfaction is

judged.

o Salauddin, Nazia (2015)surveyed the visit of the

undergraduate and post-graduate students in the Central

Library at the Jahangirabad Institute of Technology in

Barabanki. Users are an important element of any

information system. It is widely recognized that quality of

service and consumer satisfaction are essential to

retaining existing consumers and attracting new ones.

Access to relevant information is very important in library

services and can provide the right users with a new

direction for research and the development of accurate

information. Today, all teachers and researchers have

immediate access to online resources, but the role of

traditional documentation remains important. The goal of

this research treatise is to achieve this goal. Librarians,

information personnel, and document personnel need to

understand library users, how they communicate with the

system, and related requirements.

o Dhanavadan S. (2016), in his paper, discussed the

Garrett ranking techniques in detail. The author took an

example of an E-Resource accessed by the faculty. In this

paper, Garrett's ranking technique was analyzed, and the

author briefly discussed the ranking calculation. Finally

showed that how the most significant factors can be

identified with this ranking technique.

o Hmedat, W., Ali, M., &Muthuraman, B. (2017) showed

in the paper that the institutions of Higher education

sectors play a vital role in improving the quality of

education in the country. Curriculums developed or

approved by the ministry, a major national institution,

directly impact the outcome of the education system.

This research treatise seeks to critically evaluate the

initiatives invented by students pursuing the MBA

program. In this paper, the survey data analysis is done by

using percentage analysis and Henry Garrett's ranking

method to achieve the purpose of the study. The study

results show that most students following an MBA

program are ready to start their own business to build a

career.

o Tamilselvi, M (2019), in her paper, showed that

electronic marketing is a significant revolution in the age

of globalization. Over the last decade, most companies

have experienced technological changes. Online shopping

is the use of technology (such as computers) to improve

marketing performance. Moreover, retailers are devising

strategies to meet the needs of online shoppers. They are

busy studying consumer behaviour in online shopping and

examining consumer attitudes towards online shopping.

That is why we decided to investigate consumer attitudes

towards online shopping, especially the factors that

influence consumers' online shopping. Garrett's ranking

strategy is used to find respondents' preferences for online

products.

o Geetha, C, and Prabhu, Mohan S (2020) made a ranking

analysis test to explore the complex challenges of

maintaining the college's facilities. They had collected the

primary data from 1000 respondents. The authors used the

Garrett ranking technique as a tool of ranking analysis. In

this paper, according to the ranking, the library facility is

the essential factor for the quality of the education system.

o Angayarkanni, R. (2021), in the research paper he

systematically analyzes and rate the job satisfaction issues

of teachers employed in private schools. Impacts need to

be prioritized to identify significant flaws that affect

teacher satisfaction. Therefore, researchers used Garrett's

ranking method to identify the order of subjects that most

affected teacher job satisfaction.

o Dhingra, Meenakshi, and Kundu, Subhash C. (2021), in

this research paper, assess students' acuities of the level of

campus placement events of higher education institutions

(HEI) and determines the order of significance of the

various issues that students perceive concerning employer

selection criteria. The research conducted in the Indian

metropolitan area, twenty-nine HEI analyzed response

data from 621 students by using statistical tools such as

mean, student's t-test, and Garrett ranking. The results of

the T-test show that students' perceptions differ

significantly among the five demographics under study. In

addition, Garrett's ranking method reveals that students

consider performance as the most important factor in an

interview that influences an employer's choice or refusal

to set up a campus.

o Hemalatha, V. (2021)discussed in this survey paper is to

know about the work stress problems of university

teachers, know the teacher's personal causes and levels of

stress, and provide valuable advice for overcoming work

stress. The collected data was analyzed using statistical

measures such as percentages, Garrett's ranking strategy,

and the chi-square test.

In the literature review, we have reviewed the various

papers about the library visit by the users of different

academic libraries. Library visit surveys help the library to

know the users' needs, behaviour and also help to improve

the library service accordingly. We also review the papers

Henry Garrett's ranking used to analyze the data to get the

ordering result. We can see the Garrett ranking techniques

used in many fields like education, technological, and

psychological areas and also in agricultural, medical, and

marketing research. It is also used to analyze the big

surveyed data to know the most significant factor by

ordering method.

Objective

The main objective of this study is to know the users’

perception about the reasons behind the college library

visits (under Vidyasagar University). Moreover, the

secondary objective is to understand the overall situation

of the libraries like the library services, environment,

behaviour of the library staff, etc.

Methodology

The survey method is adopted to conduct the research.

The First Pilot study has been conducted to know the

users' possible reasons to visit the library, i.e., Students,

Faculty members, Research Scholars of the college

libraries. After that, all the possible reasons were collected

and analyzed. In the question about the reason for Library

visits, the top 13 possible factors have been included as

options, and the respondents (users of these college
