Summary/Abstract: In order to satisfy the reading interest of people, the librarians must know and be familiar with the library collections and, on the other hand, with the public preferences.That is exactly the aspect this study refers to. It analisses 8504 booklibrary cards that have been completed and collected at Socio-HumanisticSection in the period July 1998 – July 2003. The simple analysses of these bookcards give us some informations about:-the circulation of library collections;-public reading preferences;-the proportion between the so-called „pleasure-reading” and„compulsory-reading”;-the capacity of our collections to satisfy the public preferences.We have to mention that this study can also be applied to the other sections of our library; it can have periodicity and it can be a very important instrument for aquisition service.
