It is a survey research employing descriptive research design of the survey type, the instrument used to collect data was questionnaire. The sampled population was one hundred and twenty residents of Ado-Ekiti (120) were selected to participate in the study using simple random sampling technique while the collected data was analysed using tables, bar chart, simple percentage and frequency count, mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that radio is the most important instrument in information dissemination because it reaches larger percentage of the people irrespective of their location; it promotes the level of awareness of the people on socio-political and economic issues and it also enable people to be adequately informed about programmes and activities of the government. The cost of accessing information through radio, television and use of mobile phone were not expensive as shown by the study while that of internet, satellite and cable television were expensive. Radio was mostly used to access information followed by mobile phone, television, newspaper, social network, satellite and cable television followed by the internet. The three major problems facing the residents of Ado-Ekiti in accessing information were poor television signals, high cost of purchase, installation and subscription of satellite television and many cannot afford the cost of internet connectivity. It was concluded that more need to be done to improve accesordss of the residence of Ado-Ekiti to information most especially the internet and cable television.

Goldfrab (2006) opined that information is a valuable resource required in any society; thus acquiring and using information are critical and important activities. Users of information use it for different reasons. Some use it for health; others use it for advancement in knowledge, others for politics. Issa (1997) cited Muhammed, (1994) opined that it is a vital resource which provides impetus for a nation social, cultural, spiritual, political, economic, scientific and technological advancement greater socio-political equity; efficient governance, power and fellowship. Thus, one can rightly infer from above that information has always played an important role in human life; hence a basic human need.Information means different things to different people, some it may be in form of news on radio or television, and the print media,...

The study adopted descriptive survey research design. A systematic sampling technique was adopted to facilitate the selection of every 10th members of the total population in each of the universities studied; questionnaire was used to collect data for the study while the data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Research questions were answered using percentage and mean, Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The result of the study shows that law lectures have input in selection of library materials and that the law librarian usually conduct frequent evaluation of law collections to ensure their currency. It revealed that undergraduate law students visit law libraries to consult, read and utilize information materials available in law libraries. The result further reveal...

Ten special libraries in Oyo-State, Nigeria were selected for the study. A survey resaearch design was adopted for the study and the 92 staff of the ten selected special libraries were given copies of the structured questionnaires to elicit necessary information. Out of these, 81 returned with valid responses and found useable. This represents 88% response rate. Tables, simple percentage and frequency count were used to analyse the results. Among others, the findings showed that seminars/workshops are the most widely used HCB programmes. Recommendations capable of improving the HCB in special libraries were offered.
