In todays world of digital information, user education is very important in any kind of  library because it bridges the gaps between library user and various resources and services available in the library. In this study, we discuss the user education provided to the teaching faculty members of SVKM institutes in Shirpur, Dhule, and Indore campus and their feedback analysis on user education received through the questionnaire.
