Abstract
This paper reports the findings of a survey study undertaken to
ascertain access and use of library resources and services by
customers of the Medical Library, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaha. It
reveals the type of information resources preferred by the customers,
resources, age distribution, sources facilitating search, customers'
perception of the different types of resources and the frequency to
which the resources were put to use. Data gathered reveal that
customers are highly satisfied with the services available because of
accessibility, availability and relevance of the resources to the
programmes offered by the faculty- However, customers solicit
extension of working hours, expansion of the current sitting capacities
in all branches of the Medical libraries to accommodate more
customers and the completion of the library project at the clinical
section of the medical school.
