It is worthy of mention that library and information services are key
actors in providing unhindered access to essential resources for
economic and cultural advancement. In doing so, they contribute
effectively to the development and maintenance of intellectual freedom,
safeguarding democratic values and universal civil rights. They
encourage social inclusion, by striving to serve all those in their user
communities regardless of age, gender, economic or employment status,
literacy or technical skills, cultural or ethnic origin, religious or
political beliefs, sexual orientation or physical and mental ability.
The communities they serve may be geographically based or, increasingly,
linked only by technology and shared internet (IFLA 2003). The import
of this new attitude of information creation, access, retrieval, storage
and availability for use in a major transformation towards creating
information and knowledge based society for the good of all.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Libraries
for many generations have taken many physical forms, rendering from
large purposebuilt buildings, to rooms in parent institutions and small
temporary structures. The libraries then went further to penetrate those
places that could not be accessed through road, rail, water and the
beast of burden as a means of transportation. In today’s dispensation,
many libraries are now ‘’hybrid’’ combining both physical space and
collection with a virtual library of electronic materials and services.
These development is a signal that there is paradigm shift from old
operational method to one supported by technology of diverse form. One
of the expectations of a library user is to be able to access accurate,
current and appropriate information. This was however a difficult task
to accomplish but with the technological innovations it is possible to
provide enhanced information service from a single collection and hence
new resource sharing programmes were introduced to meet user’s needs. In
the past, the inability of a library to meet all need of a user at a
point in time can now be overcome a s a result of internet and its
associated technologies and using the global information all the need
are met quickly and efficiently.
