Summary
One of the fundamental laws of the library is that the resources-books and nonbook must be well consulted. The librarian has to acquire and provide access to the information stocked in the library. The user is very important in the practice of librarianship; this is because library process revolves around the users. The user is very critical to the services of a library, the user of a library must be constantly asked to assess the services and resources provided, as this will help the library to improve upon its services. No matter how large the stock of a library is, if the services and its resources are not fully utilized, such a library will end up a white elephant. It is worthy to note that any attempt on the part of the library to ignore the satisfaction of its users will be done at the library’s peril (Budd (1998), Jackson (2003))
