    Abstract
    Reports a strategy adopted at Reading University Library in the UK, using Libra software and methodology developed by Priority Search Ltd. in conjunction with the University of London Library, to determine a way of adjusting the library opening hours to satisfy the needs of the greatest number of users. Describes the survey methodology and administration, discusses survey findings, offers tips for librarians in dealing with users, and considers the creative nature of such a survey

    Abstract
    Reports results of a user survey, conducted at Reading University, UK, to find out the kind of service their users want, in particular, regarding opening hours. Results indicated that there was a clear consensus on some issues: in particular, more rapid reshelving of books; but preferred opening hours varied between different groups. In this respect the survey was regarded as being only partially successful as it did not point to a clear course of action which would satisfy the needs of all library users. However, useful data was collected and the availability of the Libra software for a further 5 years means that further surveys may be undertaken
