Abstract
This study was an assessment of information resources and services
of the Institute of Education Library Ahmadu Bello University Zaria
was a case study and questionnaire and observation were use to
collect data. The data collected were analyzed using frequency
tables and percentages. Based on the findings of the study, the
Human Resources of the library are quite adequate. Materials
resources are not very current except for newspapers. There is an
ICT center and E-library though not fully used by staff due to lack of
computer literacy. Equipment such as photocopying machine thought
essential are not available in the library. The services rendered
include E-researching, consultancy, training, current awareness and
referral/advisory services. It was recommended that funds should be
made available for subscription of current journals and books. There
should be also training for staff to equip them with the knowledge of
how to use the ICT center and E-Library. It was equally
recommended that photocopying machine should be provided so as
to salvage the library resources from mutilation
