Abstract

Non user research is a neglected area of library studies. The ration of actual users to potential users of a library serves as a rough measure of the impact of the library and its market penetration capabilities. Use of a library is a minority event since only a small segment of rightful users of a library really makes use of it. defines non use, enumerates types of non users and presents a conceptual framework for use and non use of information
