- W323779697 abstract "INTRODUCTIONSchool libraries in Nigeria are meant to provide user-centered services to meet students' needs. This function is performed through library user education which is expected to connect students to the vast array of information resources necessary for their problemsolving, academic pursuit and life-long learning. User education is therefore central to the whole purpose of library utilization of information resources. The quality of secondary school education is a mirage without a quality school library. The objective of the school library is to provide the best services for its users/patrons by making available to them resource materials and services. It is in realization of this fact that Agaja (2005) describes school library as one of the most valuable infrastructure in the academic system. According to Nwalo (2003), a library is one of the most important educational establishments in improving the quality of teaching and learning and must be properly stocked to complement other educational activities in the schools. Bundy (2008) pointed out that the core services of the school library include: the provision of a learning environment, reference and access to information resources. He went further to state that each library must tailor its services to the needs of its usersFor Edoka (2003), the objective of user education is to develop in readers awareness of the overall information resources available to them; information literacy skills necessary for retrieving materials and to put in place strategies for enhancing information search in order to stimulate the user to make adequate use of resources available in the library not minding the challenges that may be encountered. The whole essence of library user education therefore is to connect students to the vast array of information resources and programmes using the school library as a gateway (Zaki, 2011). This will enable students to acquire library skills necessary for academic pursuit, other life-long opportunities and problemsolving.Library user education is a holistic interactive learning process that presupposes that a student recognizes the need for information and knows how to find, evaluate, use and subsequently communicate information effectively to solve problems or to make decisions. The underlying message here is the ability to understand and critically evaluate the information before using it. Information can be gotten through different resources. These resources include electronic, print and non-print materials like books, periodicals, catalogue, on-line data bases; computer hardware, computer software, computer networks, electronic files and data, people, library building, audio-visuals pictures, images, CD-Rom, etc (Teifel,2005). It is the responsibility of the school to provide information resources and plan programmes that will assist the students in the acquisition of information skills to ensure effective utilization of these resources.Possession of library skills is the outcome of library user education programmes (Dara, 2005). These skills have to do with having abilities/skills or competencies to effectively make use of library materials with minimal assistance. Some of these competencies include ability to: identify facts, critically assess & use the library, understand what is read, access information, identify audio-visual materials, identify printed resources, get information from the web, use appropriate resources, make informed decision, and so on. These skills are not inherent but are acquired through a process of teaching and learning. In the opinion of Doyle (1992), possession of library user skills helps one to locate information or the instrumental aspect of retrieval, know the materials and services available in order to take advantage of available resources and develop these skills to a reasonable level.Students in the secondary school are expected to benefit maximally when they possess library user skills through resource based learning programmes. …" @default.
