dc.description.abstractInformation is vital for the overall development of any nation. In an academic community, lecturers need information to update their knowledge and acquire new methods of teaching and research. This study therefore sets to determine the information needs of lecturers in the University of Agriculture Makurdi and to find out ways through which they search for information in the University Library viz a viz whether the resources thereof meet their information needs. Questionnaire was used in collecting data. Data collected was analyzed using tables and percentages. The result of the findings shows, that lecturers in University of Agriculture, Makurdi need up-to-date information in their subject areas. The Library catalogue was found to be the most used information seeking tool when compared to shelf browsing and enquiry from library staff. Current information was found to be lacking. Consequently, it was found that the patronage of the Library was very low. The study recommends that the University of Agriculture Library, Makurdi should subscribe to current journals most especially in the field of science and technology. Provision of Internet services facilities can be most rewarding.en_US
