Ernest Boakye, Librarian at Webster University Ghana Campus, recently published "Are users satisfied with resources and services? The case of Webster University Ghana Campus Library" in Library Philosophy and Practice Journal.

Boakye's study aimed to determine the level of library users’ satisfaction with resources and services. The findings showed that users were satisfied with library collections, services, and knowledge of library staff. However, users were not satisfied with the library’s physical facilities. The study recommends extended opening hours, improved internet access, provision of additional readings and discussion rooms and computers.
