| dc.description.abstract | This study evaluated the assessment of information literacy competency among postgraduate students of Kwara State University Malate. The objectives of the study are to; ascertain the ability to locate information resources, determine the student’s ability to identify the most relevant information resources, and examine students' abilities to evaluate the information resources they need. The study used a descriptive survey approach. The population consisted of all 40 postgraduate students of library and information science and computer science students at Kwara State University, Malete during the academic year 2023–2024. Due to the study's manageable population, total enumerative sampling techniques were employed. The findings revealed that the best places to look for a journal article are the index, abstract, and catalogues. The study also found that the call number is the most relevant content to consult among others. The findings also showed that the best way to find a book on the shelf is to use the library's catalogue, book index, and abstract. Therefore, the study concluded that the information resources of the library are fully utilised by postgraduate students. It was recommended among others that university management should always struggle to withstand and possibly improve upon existing training platforms to ensure that postgraduate students remain relevant and up-to-date in an everchanging and dynamic information society. | |
