CHALLENGES OF USING SCHOOL LIBRARY INFORMATION RESOURCES FOR LIFELONG LEARNING AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN NASARAWA STATE

Abstract

The availability and utilisation of school library information resources have been found to play a crucial role in promoting lifelong learning among secondary school students. Studies have shown that students who have access to wellstocked and easily accessible school libraries tend to have a higher level of engagement and interest in continuing their learning outside of the classroom. These resources provide students with the necessary tools and materials to conduct research, expand their knowledge, and develop critical thinking skills. Additionally, the utilisation of these resources, such as online databases and digital collections, allows students to access a wide range of information and perspectives, further enhancing their learning experience. Thus, it can be concluded that the availability and utilisation of school library information resources have a significant impact on promoting lifelong learning among secondary school students.
