About this title

Synopsis

This study critically examined the state of affairs regarding the provision of library user education by the university libraries of Pakistan. User To a great extent, the low standard of education is due to the inadequate provision of libraries. The study indicates the need for Pakistani university libraries to improve their professional standards and to take a more active role in formulating a proper policy and aims and objectives on educating the users. The successful execution of a quality user education programme is hindered by various factors as: lack of proper policy, lack of assessment of library users' educational and information needs, lack of defining the appropriate objectives, inadequate in-service training, lack of collaboration among library staff, faculty and students, and insufficient budget for acquiring audio-visual aids.
