In this work, questionnaires have been utilized to investigate the related issues of food and beverage service of libraries. The object of questionnaires includes 26 librarians and 242 readers (or students) of Fu Jen University's library. The important findings of this investigation are as follows: first, the majority of librarians and students can accept the allowance of food and drinks in libraries as long as it is restricted to certain areas. Second, the kitchen and study hall are the two most suitable places selected by librarians and students. Other suitable places selected by students are group discussion rooms, stairwells, and study carrels. On the contrary, the areas that should forbid food and drink include computer areas, information retrieval areas, bookshelves, reading areas, reference areas, and periodicals areas. Third, nearly 50% of students believe the permission of food and drinks has no influence on a library's usage and image. The same applies for their work efficiency in libraries. Finally, nearly 60% of students will not turn to other places to study even if the library forbids food and drinks. |
