摘要

This study investigates the use of special collections resources at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, by postgraduate students, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. A case study research design was employed for the study. Three research questions guided the study. The population of the study consisted of 7 staff of the special collection division of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and 200 postgraduate students of the university who are duly registered with the library for the 2005/2006 academic session. The sample of the study consist of all the seven (7) staff of the special collection division and twenty (20) postgraduate students selected using accidental sampling technique. This means that only postgraduate students that were found on their seats using special collections were used for the study. This was done to ensure that the actual users of the special collections are used for the study. Data were collected from seven (7) library staff of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and twenty (20) postgraduate students of the university through questionnaire and presented in tabular form and analyzed with the use of frequencies and mean. Findings revealed that Postgraduate students used the collections such as thesis and dissertation, materials Africa, United Nations publications, government documents and archives. They used these materials mostly for vital information in the areas of their research. However, postgraduate students encounter the absence of network with other special collections resources worldwide, none updating of catalogue, unavailable current materials needed are not available etc. The study therefore, recommends that the library should establish a good network with other special collections resources worldwide so as to enhance effective utilization of special collections resources in this library.
