The research questions used sought to find out the types of user education programmes available, the methods used in conducting the programmes the extent of satisfaction with the programmes and the challenges users encountered in the use of libraries.

For the confirmation of the hypotheses, a one way Anova was used for testing the hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that use of library was the type of user education programmes mostly available in academic libraries in Kaduna State and, lecture method was used in conducting the programme, there is significant difference in the types of user education programmes used in the three zones and, there is no significant difference in the methods used in conducting the programmes among other findings.
