UTILIZATION OF SCHOOL LIBRARY RESOURCES AND SERVICES BY SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS: A CASE STUDY OF BAYERO UNIVERSITY STAFF SECONDARY SCHOOL, KANO STATE
Abstract
Abstract
Utilization of School Library Resources and Services by Secondary School Students focuses on the study of how secondary school students utilize school library resources, specifically at Bayero University staff secondary school, Kano State. The research aimed to investigate the problems hindering effective utilization of library resources, identify available resources, determine the period and purpose of library visits, and assess the satisfaction derived from using library resources.
Key findings revealed that students use the library for reading pleasure and exam preparation, visiting during break hours and consulting available resources. However, the study also highlighted significant problems, including inadequate library materials, untrained librarians, and lack of using library by the students.
The research concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing these challenges holistically to reposition school libraries for effective management, performance, and resource utilization.
