Staff Attitude to Shelving and Shelf Reading in Academic Libraries

View through CrossRef
This study examines the attitude of shelving staff in three selected academic libraries in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Questionnaire was developed to elicit data for the study. 35 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the identified shelving staff in the selected libraries. Only 28 copies of the questionnaire were found useful and were used for the analysis. Out of the total respondents 13(46.4%) were male while 15(53.6%) were female. The result reveals that majority (57.1%) of the shelving staff have positive attitude to shelving and do not see users as constituting a burden to them. However, their only grievance is that other senior library staff should be involved in shelving. Recommendations were made to improve upon the attitude of the shelving staff in academic libraries.
