dc.description.abstractThis research investigated the Implementation of Information Resource Development Policy in Academic Libraries in Kaduna State. To achieve the objectives of the study, five research questions were formulated and answered. Survey research method was adopted for the study while structured questionnaire and interview were the instrument used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed descriptively. The respondents were asked the following questions: the extent of coverage in the policy, implementation and evaluation of the policy. The findings revealed that only three out of the seven academic libraries studied have a written information resource development policy. The findings also revealed that the Information Resource Development Policy of the Academic libraries in Kaduna State with written policy contain most of the components of information resource development policy and this components is extensively covered in the development of their resource. However, the study further revealed that not all the acquisition librarians are aware of the year of establishment of the policy and how frequently it is revised. It was also discovered that the information resource development policy of the libraries with written policy is fully guided for resource development and the changing information needs of patrons have to some extent affected the implementation of the policy. The study recommended that, Academic Libraries in Kaduna State should have a standard, written and functional Information Resource Development Policy that will help the library in the selection, acquisition and management of information resource in order to meet the aims and objectives of the library and institution at large.en_US
