Redesigning University Library Buildings For Effective Services Delivery In Nigerian Tertiary Institutions: A Case Study:- Juliet Onuoha
ABSTRACT
The study
focused on redesigning university library buildings for effective service ■ ielivery in Nigerian tertiary
institutions with a focus on Taraba State University, Jalingo. It adopted a
case study design with a total population of 957 library users. A simple random
sampling technique was used in selecting a sample of 383 respondents. The
instruments for data collection were a structured questionnaire and interview
schedule. Descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted for data analysis
while the interview response was analysed qualitatively. Findings show that the
library building studied is properly designed and maintained, purpose-built
from the start as a library, among other compositions. However, the perceived
effects of the library building on library services delivery involve attracting
users to the library and encouraging them to make use of the library, among
other effects. Numerous challenges, such as the location of die library far
from the students' residents, and improper and poor lighting system, among
others, were found. In redesigning the library building, the finding shows the
need to locate the library building close to students' hostels and lecture
rooms, and proper ventilation within the library building, among other things.
Based on the findings, the study concludes tiiat library buildings have a strong
effect on library service delivery in universities, and highlights that much
need to be done in the area of planning library building to continually provoke
effective service delivery.
