This study investigated the accessibility, usability, and satisfaction of library users regarding hybrid resources and services in Albay, Philippines. The findings reveal high satisfaction with library resources and services. It also shows that physical resources are preferred over digital despite a lower accessibility for digital resources, and that library hours are the most practical service for users.

Explicación de la calificación

This study provides a useful overview of hybrid library resource usage in Albay, but its methodological limitations prevent stronger conclusions. The limited sample size, reliance on self-reported data, and lack of causal analysis constrain the generalizability and depth of the findings. The study's descriptive nature is appropriate for its exploratory aims, warranting an average rating despite its weaknesses.
