providers will benefit from the result as they will improve on the
approach for information provision to students. They will also identify
information resources that are lacking and provide them in their various
institutions.
Academia:
The study will be significant to the
academic community as it will serve as a guide to other researchers in
other Universities who would want to conduct similar research in the
area in their respective states as well as add to the existing
literature in the field of librarianship especially in the area of
accessibility and utilization of reference and information services and
resources in the Universities.
1.6 Scope of the Study
This study
will identify the types of reference and information services and
resources available to students. The study will also Find out the extent
the students use the various bibliographic tools in their search for
information. The study will further determine the extent of
accessibility of reference and information services and resources.
Lastly, the study will determine the purpose for the utilization of
information services and resources by students. Hence the study is
delimited to Enugu state.
1.7 Limitation of the study
In the
course of carrying out this study, the researcher experienced some
constraints, which included time constraints, financial constraints,
language barriers, and the attitude of the respondents.
In addition,
there was the element of researcher bias. Here, the researcher possessed
some biases that may have been reflected in the way the data was
collected, the type of people interviewed or sampled, and how the data
gathered was interpreted thereafter. The potential for all this to
influence the findings and conclusions could not be downplayed.
More
so, the findings of this study are limited to the sample population in
the study area, hence they may not be suitable for use in comparison to
other companies and locations.
