Abstract
Study of data collected from 150 teachers and students by administering questionnaires on their information seeking and requirements of Mahaveer Educational Park, Meerut indicates that guidance in the use of library resources and services is necessary to help teachers and students to meet their information requirements. Found that journals, textbooks and electronic information sources are the most popular sources of information for the students' course work. Recommends that latest edition of textbooks and reference materials should add to the library collection. Suggests that the CD-ROM databases of journal archives and reference books should be added and users should be guided to use the resources of the library.
