摘要：The study was carried out to compare the utilization of school/faculty library facilities between Ekiti State University (EKSU) faculties and the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) schools libraries. A total of 120 respondents were selected from the two institutions for the study. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire, and analyzed with frequency counts, percentages, Mean, and T-Test. The findings show that the respondents from the Federal University of Technology (FUTA) and Ekiti State University (EKSU) respectively were within the age range of 21-25years. The students from both EKSU and FUTA use the faculty/school libraries much more than the staff. All the respondents from both schools indicated availability of school /faculty library units. Male and female students use the faculty/school library units, but there were more males than female using the FUTA libraries units. A few number of staff in both institutions utilized the faculty/school library units. The most available products/ service to all the students in both school was the reading services, referral services and periodicals. The current content listing, translations and data processing were not provided at all. Only the means of reading services were significant in both institutions. The mean of Internet services was only significant in EKSU faculty library units. A significant difference exists between Subject databases (Online and Physical) t=-2.5, p=0.01) and Internet services (t=-2.50, p=0.04) in the school/faculty library units among FUTA and EKSU students at 5% level of significance. On the average, FUTA usage of subject database services was 18 points less than EKSU (95% CI-0.33, -0.04). Also, in internet usage, they score 13 points less than EKSU (CI-0.26, -0.00). The study recommends sensitization and awareness programme on the availability of the products and services to increase patronage and usage as well as increase the staff and student’s access to internet facilities.
