Abstract
This paper examines the information literacy skills of postgraduate students of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo. The research is pertinent considering the fact that the university operates a fully residential campus for her undergraduates and thus they have full and unlimited access to all the facilities available in the library. For the postgraduate students however, there is the choice of campus and off campus accommodation. The fact that a large percentage of the postgraduate students are workers also means that they have less time to spend on campus and in the library. There is therefore a need to know the proficiency of their information literacy skills so that the library can fill in any vacant space to enable them make effective use of the available information resources. The survey design was adopted with respondents comprising all the postgraduate students of the University, since they are a manageable number. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data collected. Findings showed that the respondents have a very high perception of information literacy skills; indicating that they had attended some information literacy programmes in the past. However, the study revealed that they still had certain challenges in making effective use of the library’s information resources. The study therefore recommends that the T.Y. Danjuma Library, should organise and carry out information literacy programmes for postgraduate students, same way it is done for undergraduates. However, this programme should be tailored to suit their level of study and enhance their ability to carry out research.
