The questionnaire is designed in such a way to collect the data from faculty members of engineering college libraries. Questionnaires were circulated among 890 library users and received 705 responses. The response rate is 79%. It is evident from the study majority 63.54% of respondents are male users. 53.75% majority of respondent users are Assistant Professors. The research found that most respondents visit the library daily, feel that the library had convenient working hours, a library for borrowing books, reference books, and electronic journals. The research highlighted that most of the library users opinioned as somewhat useful about library and information resources. Most respondents respond as satisfied and not availing and the second-highest of users respond as highly satisfied about library and information resources.
