Abstract

Purpose

Providing a wealth of documents and appropriate information in support of the university curriculum and research syllabus represents the ultimate goal of all the efforts made by university libraries. The paper aims to study the quality of services as an indicator of quality improvement in the educational process.

The analysis of the strong and weak points of the services provided leads to improvements in the quality of service.
