Abstract

Libraries play an important role as a reliable and beneficial information provider in the students academic success and performance. The aim of this study is to investigate the students satisfaction with library resources and services provided by the academic library. Random surveying was conducted to find out the problem and difficulties faced by the students in accessing the library resources and its impact on their academic success and performance. The finding in the study showed that there is a significant and remarkable relationship between the library usage and the students’ academic performance and success. the major finding of the study is to conduct the information literacy programme for the students to promote awareness about the resources, services and facilities available in the library so that the students can take maximum advantage of the benefits provided by the library . One way to overcome this problem is to encourage the students to embrace using the library in their academic studies and explain its benefits.
