Descriptive Statistics

Interpretation
This table summarizes the key characteristics of several variables related to student satisfaction. The sample size for all variables is 250.
Key Findings:
 Digital Resources: 70% of students reported having access to digital resources.
 Extended Hours Impact: 47% of students felt that extended library hours had a positive impact on their studies.
 Physical Infrastructure Satisfaction: Students rated the overall physical infrastructure of the library with a mean score of 2.99 out of 5.
 Group Discussion Facilities: Students rated the availability and quality of group discussion facilities with a mean score of 2.94 out of 5.
 Physical Infrastructure Improvements: Students' perception of the library's physical infrastructure improvements was rated with a mean score
of 2.82 out of 5.
 Wi-Fi Speed: The perceived Wi-Fi speed was rated with a mean score of 2.92 out of 5.
 Technological Improvements: Students' perception of technological improvements in the library was rated with a mean score of 2.90 out of 5.
 Awareness of Resources: 70% of students reported being aware of the library's resources.
 Primary Data Interpretation
(Contd...)
 The elbow point occurs at Component 2 or 3, suggesting 2 or 3
factors should be retained.
o Components beyond this point have eigenvalues < 1, contributing
less variance.
o Conclusion: Factor analysis should consider 2–3 key
components for optimal dimensionality reduction.

Reliability Analysis:
o Cronbach's Alpha = 0.712 (Acceptable reliability)
o Standardized Alpha = 0.616 (Moderate consistency)
o No. of Items = 8’
o The scale is reliable but can be improved by refining items.

KMO and Bartlett’s Test:

o KMO = 0.671 (Moderate sampling adequacy; factor analysis is acceptable)
o Bartlett’s Test: χ²(28) = 342.349, p < 0.001 (Significant; factor analysis
is appropriate)
o Data is suitable for factor analysis but could be improved.
 Improvements

1. Improve Access to Academic Books and Journals: Address dissatisfaction with

academic resources by updating the library’s collection, particularly in digital
formats. Focus on expanding e-books and journals that align with students' needs.

2. Enhance Digital Resource Usage: Increase engagement with digital resources by

offering training sessions and creating a dedicated online platform for easy access to
e-books, journals, and databases.

3. Optimize Library Operating Hours: Adapt the library’s hours to student demand
by offering flexible timings during peak periods (exams, weekends) and maintaining
standard hours during quieter times. Regular surveys can help gauge optimal hours.

4. Improve Access and Navigation: Redesign the library layout for better navigation
and invest in an interactive map or app. Streamline the check-out process with self-
checkout stations or an improved mobile app for easy access to resources.

5. Reevaluate Extended Hours Impact: Since extended hours were deemed

unnecessary, focus on optimizing existing hours by adjusting staffing during peak
usage times to maintain efficient service.
 Improvements (Contd..)

6. Enhance Physical Infrastructure: Improve seating comfort, lighting, and study

room availability. Create varied spaces such as quiet zones, collaborative areas, and
creative zones to cater to different student needs.

7. Improve Wi-Fi Speed and Access: Upgrade Wi-Fi infrastructure to ensure strong,
reliable connectivity throughout the library. Consider adding more access points and a
real-time reporting system for Wi-Fi issues.

8. Incentivize Regular Library Visits: Implement loyalty programs, offering rewards

like discounts on printing or café purchases for frequent library visitors. Recognize top
users with certificates or other incentives.

9. Maintain and Enhance Peaceful Study Environment: Continue fostering a

peaceful study atmosphere with dedicated quiet zones, group study areas, and creative
spaces. Consider providing noise-canceling headphones or white noise machines to
minimize distractions.
 Unique Engagement Ideas

 Library Ambassador Program: Empower students as ambassadors to promote resources

and help peers navigate the library.
 Interactive Resource Discovery Workshops: Hold fun, interactive workshops such as
scavenger hunts or challenges to explore library resources.
 Themed Library Events: Collaborate with academic departments to organize events that
promote related resources, such as "Literature Week" or "Tech Talks."
 Peer Tutoring and Study Groups: Create dedicated spaces for peer-led study groups and
tutoring sessions, integrating library resources into these sessions.
 Student-Driven Content: Allow students to curate and recommend resources, creating a
“Student Resource Review” board to promote useful materials.
 Library Gaming Nights or Book Clubs: Organize academic-themed gaming nights or book
clubs that use library resources for learning and fun.
 Digital Resource Competitions: Host competitions where students create projects or solve
research problems using digital library resources.
 Virtual Library Assistant Chatbot: Introduce a chatbot to guide students in using library
resources and assist with locating books and articles.
 Interactive Library App: Develop an app that provides easy access to resources, event
notifications, and space bookings.
 Library "Themed Zones": Create themed study zones (e.g., quiet study, tech area) and
promote special “theme weeks” to draw attention to resources related to specific subjects or
activities.
