The Factors wich have Correlation with Use of Library by Researchers: a case study of West Sumatra Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology The library of BPTP- Sumbar provides Agricultural technology information services mainly for researchers within BPTP-Sumbar in order to support their research and to improve their writing skills. This research was aimed to find out the advantages of using library collections and some factors connected to the use of BPTP's library collection.The type of this research was a quantitative research using survey as an approach.
