Evaluating Core Discipline and Migratory patronage:A key question in this study was designed to test the respondents knowledge of their presently location in theLibrary. The outcome of this question is as shown in Table 4. Cross matching this result with the discipline andits appropriate reading room, it was possible to compute the percentage values of core discipline patronage andmigratory patronage as indicated in Figure 2. It should be noted that the main focus of this research was toevaluate the compliance level of core discipline patronage and determine level of migratory patronage. Table 4revealed 65.1% total patronage of all reading rooms and 34.9% patronage of research/special collection areas. Itcould be gathered from Figure 2 that inflow of users into a particular reading room spread across all otherreading rooms. There was therefore a cross fertilization of one reading room from patrons of other readingrooms.Table 4: Level of Migration from Book Location Faculty recode * In which room are you currentlyreading?
