ABSTRACT
A library, simply defined, is a carefully organized collection of information (print and non-print) systematically selected, acquired, organized, and made available to users by professionals (librarians). Libraries can be physical (library buildings) or non-tangible (virtual libraries). Various types of libraries include Academic, Public, School, Private, Special, and National libraries. In Nigeria, libraries play a crucial role in solving educational problems (Oluwatoyin, 2021). University libraries, being repositories of essential knowledge, are vital for national development (Ashaver & Bem-Bura, 2022), contributing significantly to academic progress and research in the academic field through well-defined and organized library services.
Library services encompass functions provided by a library to its users/patrons. The primary purpose of a university library is to support teaching, learning, and research (Oyewusi & Oyeboade, 2020). These services are foundational to the mission and vision statements of the library. University libraries support teaching, learning, and research activities within their institutions (Ashaver & Bem-Bura, 2022), providing information resources and user-oriented services to undergraduate students upon their arrival in the library or through online access.
