What is a Library?
A library is an information centre that facilitates the access to and use of information in
form of books, non-book material and computerised databases. It is therefore a place
where information is acquired, systematically organized and disseminated to users.
Library Skills
These are techniques that enable a library user to make efficient use of the library and
reap maximum benefits from it. These skills include appreciating the role of a
university library, distinguishing the library classification system, using catalogues,
doing book previews, and writing bibliographies.
