Abstract :
Library and Information System (LIS) serves as the foundation for various domains, but developing effective reading habits pose challenges and complexities. Despite this, no analysis has been conducted to examine the impact of the library and information system on the reading habits of youth in the Ukhrul district. To address this gap, this study aims to identify factors influencing the accessibility of the library and information system, as well as raise awareness among youth and local officials, bureaucrats, and institutes about their roles and responsibilities in establishing a competent information system. Primary data was collected through questionnaire distribution, and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the data and draw constructive conclusions. The study gathered responses from 183 participants, and the results provide valuable insights to achieve the objectives. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques, as well as the formulation and testing of hypotheses for significance (P-value). The findings of the study underscore the significance of Library and Information System (LIS) in fostering reading habits among young people and encouraging their visits to libraries. The study proposes that the state should provide comprehensive support, including necessary resources and facilities, to LIS and public libraries. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of LIS in preserving traditional forms of education, such as folk songs, tales, and drawings, which hold valuable and often forgotten information. Creating spaces within LIS to practice and uphold these traditional educational practices is crucial.
