[Statistics for 2003: Kalba Library]

Abstract

This item presents the 2003 statistics of Kalba Library through tables and charts documenting patterns of library use and visitor attendance throughout the year. The data cover users by gender and nationality, age groups, opening-hour periods, occupational categories, and internal circulation by subject divisions, including general knowledge, philosophy and psychology, religion, social sciences, languages, pure sciences, applied sciences, arts, literature, history, and geography. The material provides a quantitative overview of the library’s user community and the level of demand for its services and collections. It supports library performance assessment, user-needs analysis, working-hour planning, collection development, and service improvement. These pages constitute an independent statistical section within the 2003 annual statistics file, rather than an analytical article or theoretical research paper.
