Abstract : This study examined the relationship between student satisfactions with library services, study habits and academic achievement at Daraga Community College. Specifically, it assessed the level of student’s satisfaction in terms of library resources, facilities and staff services; the level of study habits in terms of time management, study environment and study techniques and the level of academic achievement based on academic performance and academic standing. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed in this study. Data were collected from 368 students selected through stratifies random sampling form a total population of 8,065 enrolled students for the Academic Year 2025-2026. A structured questionnaire was used as the primary instrument and data were analyzed using weighted mean, standard deviation and person correlation coefficient. The finding revealed that students were generally satisfied with library services, library staff services receiving the highest rating and library resources the lowest. Study habits were found to be at a satisfactory level, with time management as the strongest aspect. In terms of academic achievement, students demonstrated a high level of performance. However, the results showed no significant relationship between library staff services and time management. Additionally, no significant relationship was found between student satisfaction and academic achievement, as well as between study habits and academic achievement. The study concludes that while library services and study habits contribute to the overall learning experience, they do not significantly influence students’ academic achievement in this context. Based on the findings, an action plan was proposed to enhance library services, improve facilities and strengthen programs that support effective study habits and academic success.

Keywords : Student Satisfaction, Library services, Study Habits and Academic Achievement.

This study examined the relationship between student satisfactions with library services, study habits and academic achievement at Daraga Community College. Specifically, it assessed the level of student’s satisfaction in terms of library resources, facilities and staff services; the level of study habits in terms of time management, study environment and study techniques and the level of academic achievement based on academic performance and academic standing. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed in this study. Data were collected from 368 students selected through stratifies random sampling form a total population of 8,065 enrolled students for the Academic Year 2025-2026. A structured questionnaire was used as the primary instrument and data were analyzed using weighted mean, standard deviation and person correlation coefficient. The finding revealed that students were generally satisfied with library services, library staff services receiving the highest rating and library resources the lowest. Study habits were found to be at a satisfactory level, with time management as the strongest aspect. In terms of academic achievement, students demonstrated a high level of performance. However, the results showed no significant relationship between library staff services and time management. Additionally, no significant relationship was found between student satisfaction and academic achievement, as well as between study habits and academic achievement. The study concludes that while library services and study habits contribute to the overall learning experience, they do not significantly influence students’ academic achievement in this context. Based on the findings, an action plan was proposed to enhance library services, improve facilities and strengthen programs that support effective study habits and academic success.
