ABSTRACT
This study examined the use of the library and students’ academic performance at University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba. Relevant and extensive literature were reviewed in sub-titles. The literature surveyed and explored the works of scholars and researchers that are in line with the topic of this research. The descriptive research survey was adopted in order to assess the opinions of respondents, with the application of the research questionnaire which was used to collect necessary information from the samples and the sampling technique, which was a tool used in selecting the appropriate samples of this study. A total of 120 (one hundred and twenty) respondents, made up of 60 males and 60 females were selected from the University of Lagos and Lagos State University respectively. Also, 4 (four) null hypotheses were generated and tested accordingly, with the application of Chi-square statistical in testing hypothesis one, while the independent t-test statistical tool, was used in testing hypotheses two, three and four respectively, at the alpha level of 0.05. At the end of the data analysis, the results that were obtained showed that: there is a significant effect of school libraries on students’ academic achievement in the school, there is a significant influence of counselling on students’ use of the school libraries, there is a significant difference between the academic performance of students who used the libraries and those who did not use the school libraries and there is no significant gender difference in the academic performance of students due to the use of the school libraries. Also, it was recommended that school counselors should be up and doing in tackling the issue of non-use of the school libraries by many students in the tertiary institutions. This is because, counseling is found to be a tool for helping students to achieve their set goals in their academics. Counsellors in the University of Lagos, should ensure that they assist the students who lack the interest and ability to use the libraries to augment their personal reading/studies at home or in the hostels. Through counseling, these students would be able to know the importance of using the libraries to achieve high academic performance in the school.
