Library Education Programmers and Users’ Accessibility to Information Resources in Federal Polytechnic Library, Ede, Nigeria

Abstract

The respondents affirm library user education as being germane to the use of library materials and resources. The findings further revealed library orientation, bibliographic instruction and library tour as popular methods of library education programme. Furthermore, the respondents indicated their difficulties in accessing library resources independently due to low level of user education. In the light of the findings, the researchers recommended that the polytechnic library should improve on its library orientation programme. Also, priority should be given to the use of bibliographic aids and guides to help users in the use of library resources effectively and efficiently with minimal or no assistance. Equally, overhead projector, electronic board and Power Point should be employed in delivering library education programmes among others.
