INTRODUCTION

The Mico University College library is one of the main resource thatstudents used to acquire information to aid in research. Is it fully

equipped to facilitate all the resources needed for students

research? It is on this premise that an investigation was done to

provide answers.

ascertain data that would provide feedback on the services provided

by the Mico University College library. The aim of this survey was to

find out if the evening students are benefitting from the resources

provided by the library.

Data Analysis is the process of systematically applyingstatistical and/or logical techniques to describe and

illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data.According to Shamoo and Resnik (2003) various analyticprocedures provide a way of drawing inductive inferencesfrom data and distinguishing the signal (the phenomenon ofinterest) from the noise (statistical fluctuations) present in

the data.

TYPES OF INTERVIEWS

1. Informal, conversational interview - no predetermined questions are

asked, in order to remain as open and adaptable as possible to theinterviewees nature and priorities; during the interview the interviewergoes with the flow.

2. General interview guide approach - the guide approach is intended toensure that the same general areas of information are collected from each

interviewee; this provides more focus than the conversational approach,but still allows a degree of freedom and adaptability in getting theinformation from the interviewee.

3. Standardized, open-ended interview - the same open-ended questionsare asked to all interviewees; this approach facilitates faster interviews

that can be more easily analyzed and compared.

4. Closed, fixed-response interview - where all interviewees are asked thesame questions and asked to choose answers from among the same setof alternatives. This format is useful for those not practiced in interview inn and adaptable as possible to the
