Abstract

This study investigated the extent of library utilization by students of veterinary medicine in two federal universities in south-east zone of Nigeria. It sought to find out the library resources required by veterinary medicine students, the library services available for veterinary medicine students and extent of library resource utilization by the veterinary medicine students. A descriptive survey design was used for the study with a population of 1250 undergraduate students of veterinary medicine. Sample size of 250 (20%) of the population was used for the study. The instrument for data collection was structured questionnaire and observation checklist. Percentages, mean scores and frequency tables were used in analyzing the data. The result obtained from the findings revealed that library resources required by the students ranges from newspapers, magazines, current awareness services, journals, online resources related to veterinary medicine to many more. The result also revealed that Library services in both institutions under study are inadequate resulting in student’s apathy to the library.
