INTRODUCTION
Academic libraries have long been recognized as the heart of their parent institutions. They perform the mission of supporting the educational objectives of their parent bodies which include: teaching, learning, research and cultural development.
The libraries have to acquire and develop standard book, journals, audio-visual materials and other learning resources that are desirable for the proper transmission of knowledge.
Arua (2001), defined academic libraries as those libraries of tertiary institutions of learning such as universities, polytechnic, colleges of education, colleges of agriculture etc.
Polytechnic libraries are also categorized as academic libraries that select, search, organize, maintain and preserve library resources. The polytechnic libraries are established to meet the needs of its students and members of the academic staff.
It is good to re-state that for itself alone, there is no need for the library to exist. Its value lies in the unique services provided, and its materials, facilities, personnel, can be justified only through the contribution of these services to educational programme of the school (Bower 1979).
The services render in polytechnic libraries keeps widening to include acquisition of books and other media, reference service, serial control, cataloguing and classification then making them available to information seekers.
Thus, the library became the centre where information seekers meet their demands from the collection which has been properly processed for that purpose.
