Abstract

The essence of this chapter was to acquaint users with the needed skills to navigate the various information resources in the library. The set goal was brought to bear on the distribution of questionnaires. In doing this, explorative approach was adopted. In academic libraries the existence of information and communication skills are not being felt as should be expected on the part of the users. Though information and communication technologies (ICTs) are well known and appreciated, but the skills are not easy to possess in defining problems, accessing, locating and evaluating information resources. Also revealed was the Big6 skills provided as each approach can be used whenever students are in a situation, academic or personal, which requires information to solve a problem, make a decision or complete a task.
