The major purpose of the University Library is to support the University's mission of encouraging teaching, learning, and research. The university library's mission is to help students, postgraduates, professors, and other university community members. Because of its unique function in the university system, the library is critical in assessing a university's excellence.

Primary education provides as a foundation upon which later levels of education can be built with confidence. It is a level of education at which students acquire the fundamental abilities in reading and mathematics that will determine their performance in higher levels of learning.

Physical infrastructure accounts for a disproportionately large portion of the country's investment. It is therefore critical to maintain these facilities, which include public buildings, in order for them to continue serving the architectural and aesthetic functions for which they were designed.

The fundamental goal of any library is to provide enough and current information and material resources to the parent institution in order to support the academic curriculum (Ali, 2005). With the expansion of library collections and technical advancements in information handling and retrieval techniques, it is vital to provide information to students and other library users on how to access and retrieve such resources.

Libraries can be utilized to meet the information, educational, and recreational requirements of the general public, as well as to promote or support citizen education. Citizens are also educated on their rights, obligations, and personal growth in general in the library.

An academic library provides the following services: material circulation, shelf management, user education programs, information services, and operation of the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), exhibitions and displays, reader inquiry services, Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI), training and internet services, bibliographic services, indexing services, abstracting services, access to electronic resources, and document delivery.

University libraries are important sources of reference materials for high-quality teaching, learning, and research. Indexing and abstracting services in print and electronic media make reference materials available and accessible. The ultimate purpose of reference resources is to deliver precise and timely information.

Libraries must effectively divide funds between staff and materials, which include acquisitions, services, and equipment. Library fiscal management is becoming more decentralized. Current trends give a measure of financial control to divisional, sectional, and unit librarians. It is within this framework that budgeting for library technical services is approached.

Acquisition of information resources otherwise known as Collection Development is a core activity of libraries the world over. In the academic library, the acquisition section performs the variety of function and it is the chief link to the other section of the library. The acquisition section of the academic library is one of the vital sections which deal with the collection development in a significant away that controls all the activities of the library.

There are research findings that show that libraries are being exposed to environmental disasters, careless handling of collections, absence of security programmes and policies for library management and administration, loss of library resources to theft and other criminal behaviours.

The type of users who make use of a library; the kind of services rendered by it; the type of collection it has and the general intention of those who established the library clearly distinguish one type of library from the other. The types of library include: the national, public, school, academic, private and special libraries.

The beginning of the 21st century world over, there has been a phenomenal paradigm shift in the rendering of library and information services. The implication of the influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in every sphere of human development is visible and its impact on library and information services cannot be overemphasized.

Library is a fast growing organization, the ancient methods of maintaining it are no longer dynamic and efficient for expeditions, retrieval and dissemination of information and better service for the students; application of modern techniques has become absolutely indispensable. A properly computerized library will help its students with quick and prompt services. A digital library is an automated or electronic library where activities like accessing; with the help of a computer does resource s... read more

Academic libraries in Nigeria in fulfilling the above functions are facing pressures due to overuse and other abuses from the users. With the colossal amount being spent on our academic libraries one just expects that adequate planning be put in place to preserve the records in them from deterioration and destruction. The decline in the growth of valuable and up-to-date collections in our academic libraries due to budgetary constraints, and the effects of global inflationary trends call for seri... read more

University libraries in Nigeria began as important academic aspects of universities, supporting teaching, learning, research, and personal development, with the foundation of the first educational institution (university of Ibadan and its library) in 1948. As a result, there are as many university libraries as universities. With the increased reliance on ICT, the library's important purpose is to enable unrestricted access to information. Libraries are increasingly playing an important part in t... read more

University or Academic libraries are those associated with universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and other comparable higher learning institutions. The significance of finance in delivering high-quality library services cannot be overstated. It is the glue that keeps the library's facility, collection, and employees together and allows it to achieve its mission.

Any service-providing firm seeks to provide high-quality services that meet the needs of its clients. Libraries are no different, since they are always striving to innovate and provide better library and information services to their consumers. Furthermore, library services are expected to meet the expectations of their users (students, teachers, faculty workers, librarians, and so on), as well as their learning, teaching, and research needs, because these resources and services would be wasted... read more

The most important aspect of education is students' academic accomplishment. Schools are supposed to have an impact on students' learning, socialization, and even vocational readiness in this regard. Academic achievement is still important, despite the focus on broad understanding of educational goals. The phrase "academic success" is often used in discussions about higher education.

The Internet, sometimes known as the net, originated as a collection of text-only materials aimed for scientists, universities, and certain government agencies. However, the introduction and quick expansion of the World Wide Web (commonly known as the Web) changed how information was presented on the Internet. The Web is a global network of interconnected computer files that are linked to one another. It allows for the inclusion of multimedia, such as images, moving visuals, and sound, in additi... read more
