dc.description.abstractThis study examined the Use of Presidency Libraries in Abuja by Government Officials. Two thousand, two hundred and seventy six (2,276) registered government personnel and 15 Librarians were used for the study. The survey research method was adopted for the study. The instruments for the collection of data were the questionnaire, interview and personal observation. Data were analysed using frequency tables and percentages. The findings of the study revealed that books, reports, journals, newspapers and government publications are the major types of information resources in the Presidency libraries. Decrees are not available in the Police Affairs library and the National Assembly libraries. Government circulars and audio-visual materials are also not available in all the libraries in the Presidency. A majority (56.4%) of the government personnel use the Presidency libraries to prepare speeches. A few of the respondents also use the libraries for recreational purposes, discharge of normal routine duties, private reading, knowledge update, preparation for meetings, for examination purposes and general browsing. Lending and inter-library loan services are discovered to be the most prevalent services in the Presidency libraries. Other services rendered are current awareness. Indexing and abstracting services. Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI), translation, photocopying, fax and telephone services are not provided in any of the libraries in the Presidency. A majority of the respondents (55.5%) reported that the level of the availability of information resources and services in the Presidency libraries in Abuja is satisfactory. Many of the librarians 7(46.7%) indicated that the intermediate stalls make considerable use of the library. 4(26.7%) of the staff responded that the senior stall makes use of the libraries, 3(20%) junior staff and 1(6.75%) top government officials. It was therefore concluded that the intermediate staff make most use of the libraries, while the top government officials make least use of the libraries in the Presidency. Based on the above findings, recommendations have been proposed aimed at improving the resources and services of the libraries under investigation and other special libraries.en_US
