The issues studied are the students? dependency on libraries, items that they read, and other factors that inspire them to develop their reading habits. A total of 1757 professional and non-professionals students from 52 colleges served as the sample for the present study. The data was collected by questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Chi square were applied to find out the difference between course type and gender on various issues.
