From the affirmative that the Library is important because it is an essential part of knowledge and that the Specialized University Library of a Teaching Institution must contain bibliographical material to support the disciplines within the studies they have to offer; we have elaborated an users study which includes individuals that are not registered as regular students at the Institution. The objectives of it have been directed to the users, characterization, issues of search, and the use of information and opinions about the Library.
