Abstract |
The paper gave the general overview of libraries as collections of books, manuscripts, journals, and other sources of recorded information; types of libraries as academic, public, school and special library and information services, access to library resources and services. The work discusses how users can gain access to library resources and make maximum use of the information resources in the library. Challenges to library access were mentioned as inability to make use of library catalogue, poor ICT skills among others. To overcome the challenges, the paper suggested that users should be trained more on to use the library catalogue and training should be given to users on the use of ICT. And librarians need to be trained to assist users in gaining access to the library.
