Examination Pressure: Assessment of an Academic Library’s Late-Night Service to Patrons

Abstract

Abstract This study assesses undergraduate students’ views on the 24-hour library service at the C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Navrongo, Ghana. Using the survey approach, 168 students were randomly selected from three faculties of the University to participate in the study. The findings of this study revealed that students need to use the library 24 hours all the time and not only during examination periods. The findings further indicated that this would help the students to utilize the library’s facilities and resources to the fullest and at their own pace. The study, therefore, recommends that academic libraries must be given the maximum support to render such service to students since the continuous existence of every university or college depends on them.
