Abstract

Much has been written on the importance of user education in libraries, but most writers have concentrated on the more advanced and better organized academic, public and special libraries, thus neglecting school libraries which are the first library contact students have before graduating into adult life. Developed countries have since realized the need graduating for early education of school library users by ensuring that the school library is not only an integral part of their educational system, but also a tool to train future library users. In developing countries the reverse is the case. In Nigeria, for e.g., the development of the school library is appalling, such that most schools do not have libraries, where there do exist; they are grossly inadequate in terms of facilities and resources. Without adequate training and guidance, a student can go through six years in secondary school and not know how to use the library.
