The role of academic libraries in facilitating post graduate studies: a case study of maseno university, kenya

This study explores the role of academic libraries in provision of library services to post graduate students of Maseno University, Kenya. Academic libraries play a very important role for postgraduate students in terms of research. The findings reveal that most of the respondents visited library to surf the internet, consult reference materials, to get data on primary and secondary sources of materials, to consult books, theses and dissertations among others. However lack of e- journals, inadequate information materials, limited operational hours and inconsistent internet were identified as major obstacles in effective use of library. The findings of this study will be helpful to the University Council.
