dc.description.abstractThis study examined the relationship between awareness of existence of information resources and its utilisation among Polytechnic lecturers in Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design involving the use of questionnaire as the research instrument was adopted. Data were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and simple correlation. The study found that majority of Polytechnic lecturers had awareness of most of the information resources identified in the study. Among the mostly utilised resources were textbooks (93.5%), journals (80.4%), conference proceedings (56.5%), and encyclopedias (52.2%). A weak positive correlation (r=0.37, p=0.012<0.05) existed between awareness and utilisation of resources. Deliberate efforts by Polytechnic librarians in creating awareness on various information resources available for teaching was suggested as the way forward.en_US
