This study
showcases the law library collections and their utilization by the
undergraduate students of Faculty of Law, Nnamdi Azikiwe University,
Awka. The objectives of the study were to determine the extent of the
use being made of the resources by the undergraduate law students of the
university, the types of law library resources, benefits derived and the
frequency of use. The research method was a descriptive survey. The
population consisted of the law undergraduate students of the university
in the 2013/2014 academic session which had 550 registered users of the
library. The sample was 132 students made up of 100 to 500 levels. 132
questionnaires were administered randomly to the students. Out of this
number, 132 were returned representing 100% rate of response. Data
collected were analysed using frequency count and simple percentage. The
study shows that greater number of law students use law library at least
twice a week for preparing for examinations. In the light of this, the
study recommended that the law library should be adequately stocked with
current and relevant law resources, as well as improving the reading
environment so as to make it more conducive for learning and research. Cite This Article As: Onwudinjo OTU, Ogbonna Andrew Uchenna OA Onwumbiko JN (2015).
