Alao, Folorunso, and Saka, Part 6
Conclusion
This study was an attempt made by the authors in May 2007 to determine the book availability rate and performance levels for the University of Ilorin College of Heath Sciences Library, Nigeria.The book availability rate of 60.5 percent obtained for the library gives no cause for concern, though no currently published Nigerian or other data were available for comparison.
In contrast, the fact that users might be leaving the library without two of every five books needed calls for a review of the various aspects of the four performance measures investigated that might account for this situation. This review is being done with greater attention paid to the measures over which the library has control. These include measures relating to library operations, circulation procedures and user lapses.
