1. INTRODUCTION
Libraries amass vast amount of information, which is available in print
form such as bools, journals, reports and now increasingly, in non-print
forms such as CD-ROMs, e-joumais, online databases via Internet and
WWW. Information is the basic product that librarians handle and the
needs to link effectively these huge and costly stores of information into
the requirements of the parent organization curricula are the
philosophical, economic and educational reasons for a user education
program \
The Education of user plays a pivotal part and is a major landmark of
Academic College Librarianship. Many colleges offer user education
programs incorporating the objectives and practices specified, and aimed
at providing confidence in approaching study in the widest sense, making
a more effective, efficient student2 during the period of his/her study at
college, and making him a life long learner thereafter. The user specific
collection and coupled with a solid background of theory and principles
makes the users to adopt themselves easily to library practices. It is the
library collection, which turns the students from classroom to wider study
and to a contemporary society and scholarship.

Library user, education is closely related to resources available in the
library and <6ff)jie library. This should be regarded as one of the most
important activity of the modern library. User education has become
information literacy because of the changing agenda in education, and the
impact of the hybrid library3. This should include the use of modern
methods of information handling - the use of bibliographical tools serving
the production, abstracting and indexing of knowledge. Dr. Ranganathan
emphasized this aspect of library in his Five Laws of Library Science and
the "beehive" activity of the library.4 Sir Charles Grant Robertson, a
former Vice-Chancellor of one of the leading Universities in England, said
that "If he (6rere)a dictator, he would reduce the time devoted to lectures
to a third of that usually is occupied by them, and insist on the students
spending three hours every day in the library"5.
