Abstract

This study is to investigate users� of satisfaction with circulation policy on library opening hours in university libraries in Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population comprised all the undergraduate registered users of the university libraries in the zone. The stratified random sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 600 registered library users for the study from four university libraries. A total of two research questions were raised and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A questionnaire entitled: �Perception of Users� Satisfaction with Circulation Policy on University Libraries Opening Hours Questionnaire (PUSCPULOHQ)� was the instrument used for data collection. The data were collected and analysed by using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions, while z-test statistical technique was used to test the formulated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that Federal universities had moderate mean in the perception of user�s satisfaction with circulation policy on library opening hours in university libraries; the study also revealed that male library users had a high mean in the perception of user�s satisfaction with circulation policy on university library opening hours on week days. There was significant difference between federal and state owned universities in perception of user�s satisfaction with circulation policy on university library opening hours. Finally, it was recommended that university libraries in Nigeria should extend their opening hours on Sundays to make the users more satisfied with opening hours on that day.
