Abstract: Thousands of candidates seeking admission to tertiary institutions in Nigeria, particularly, those seeking admission, to (he universities are school certificate holders, fresh from (lie various secondary schools with little or no knowledge of how the university system operates. Thus, such candidates when eventualy admitted into the university needs to be acquainted with the university norms, custom and culture; particularly, the library and its holdings hence, the need for user education in academic libraries. When users are introduced to the library and its resources early enough, particularly the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti that is just in its 200level, the possibility misuse or abuse or damage of materials would be minimized to the of barest minimum if not completely eradicated. Therefore, when library materials are judiciously used and jealously guided, such material would last long and stand the test of time, serving both the present set of students and those who would be admitted in the nearest future. User education in libraries, particularly in academic libraries no doubt, remains a panacea for the longevity of library resources.
Description: Students of Nigerian higher education, particularly, the academic libraries, are being inducted to explore the library and information service in different ways so that they can be in a comfortable position to consult their required sources of information easily and conveniently. Now-a-days, students’ community of institutions of higher learning face difficulties in retrieving pertinent information because of their poor library use education, thus leading to a state of less use of information sources and poor appreciation of library management. In this context, it is very crucial to impart user education programmes for the patrons of academic Libraries.
