dc.description.abstractThe paper examined the problems of information seeking behavior of library patrons in academic libraries in Kaduna, Nigeria. Three research questions, three objectives and one hypothesis formed the basis of the study. The study was based on descriptive design and the population consisted of visitors from both studies. A multistage cluster random sampling method was used to determine the sample and the Yamane’s formula to determine the sample size of 782 persons for both institutions. The tool used for the study was a structured questionnaire. Of the 782 copies of the questionnaires distributed, 700 were recovered and analyzed for the study. Pre-test was conducted and was further subjected to reliability coefficient (split-half). The data were subjected to frequency counts, percentages and PPMC was employed to test the hypothesis. The study found that the level of awareness of library resources in both universities has improved significantly by providing adequate information about the services provided to respondents, and that they were more familiar with books / e-books, electronic journal/journals, newspaper and media resources etc. It concluded that library patrons do not use services such as CAS, DBS, indexing services, FTP, etc. because of their limited knowledge. It recommended by encouraging the libraries of both institutions be equipped and updated with up-to-date resources and information to meet the needs of the libraries of the twenty-first era.
