Abstract

This study investigated the use ofstatistics by libraries in Nigerian universities. The population frame was 170 university libraries out ofwhich 40 were sampled using simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaire; only 20 were returned and found usable. Descriptive statistics in tabular form and percentage, were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that university libraries in Nigeria use statistics but not standardized, not comprehensive and uniformed; recommendations were made such as training and retraining the library staff onthe use statistics, inclusion of use of statistics in the LIS curricula, ensuring that all the library staff are involved in collecting statistics in all areas of library activities and the statistics collected should be made available to university management and otherstakeholders.
