Abstract
This study was carried out in order to assess the relationship which the availability and accessibility of automated library have with service delivery of librarians in Federal Universities in South-South Nigeria. An Expost-Facto design was used for this study, while population of this study comprised all librarians in federal Universities in South-South Nigeria. 60 respondents constituted the study sample selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using the structured questionnaire titled “AUTOMATED LIBRARY AND SERVICE DELIVERY QUESTIONNAIRE (ALSDQ)” constructed under the guidance of 2 test and measurement experts in University of Uyo. Two specific research objectives and null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis, while the research questions were answered using descriptive statistics (mean statistics). The results of the statistical analysis revealed that, there is significant relationship between the availability of automated library and service delivery of librarians in federal Universities in South-South Nigeria. It also revealed that there is significant relationship between the accessibility of automated library and service delivery of librarians in federal Universities in South-South Nigeria. Based on these results, it was recommended that government and school
authorities should ensure that in our institutions, there are adequate availability of the automated libraries for use by both the librarians and patrons. It was also recommended that the available libraries should be made accessible to all students in order to enhance their learning.
