“Use of Information Retrieval Devices for Effective Access of Information Resources:- Okoro, Eunice E
ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to evaluate the use of
information retrieval devices for effective access of information resources by
undergraduate students of College of Education, MOUAU using descriptive survey
design. Four research questions which were formulated from the specific
objectives guided the study. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data
collection which was validated by experts. The data were analysed using the
mean andfrequency to answer the research questions. The findings from the study
revealed that the available information retrieval devices in MOUAU are Card
Catalogue, Abstract, Bibliography, Registers, Online Database, Search Engine,
Directories, Kardex Card, Audio Tapes, Computer Hard Disk, Machine Readable
Catalogue and Index. It was concludedfrom thefindings ofthe study that the
respondents access the retrieval devices to a High Extent (HE). Based on the
findings ofthe study it was recommended that correct queries should be framed
for each search, MOUAU management team should build an alternative means
ofpower supply for the library, IRDs should be digitized to conform to the
current standard, Internet connection with adequate bandwidth should be
providedfor the university library and Catalogue cards should befilled
correctly and updated regularly
