Abstract

Public Libraries are organizations established by governments to acquire, organize, store and disseminate information and knowledge to all people in the areas they are located. They are provided with the book and non-book materials to meet the information needs of the people.

The purpose of the study was to determine the information needs of adult users of the public libraries located in Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States: South-East, Nigeria.

The study was also aimed at finding out the extent to which the information needs were met, problems and to provide strategies for enhanced information delivery to the adults.

Five research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The descriptive survey design was used in carrying out the study. The population of the adult users was 8347, while that of the professional/para professional librarians was 76.

The random sampling procedure was used to sample 835 adult users, while 76 professional/ para-professional librarians were used because the figure was not enough to require sampling.

A questionnaire was used in collecting the data. Frequencies, percentages, mean scores, and standard deviations were used to analyze responses based on the research questions.

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Information may be defined as fact or data given out or received for use in solving a problem. Afolabi (2003) has defined information as an external response which conditions or modifies a person’s knowledge state.

The knowledge state of a man which requires modification for him to feel satisfied is an information need.

Provision of the appropriate information helps in meeting this need and thereby increasing the individual’s level of knowledge on the given subject.

The provision may be orally done as in a traditional society or through the use of information and communication technologies of the modern society.

To Olajide (2008), information simply means facts and opinion provided and received in the course of daily human interactions.

It is news or facts required for settlement of a state of uncertainty (Aina, 2004). It is that meaningful data within a particular context, which describes a given event (Nwana, 2008).

According to Agboola (2010), information is nothing but a class of events which occurs to meet a particular purpose. Information is usually provided to achieve a given objective.
