Abstract
This study explored the influence information literacy on user education in university libraries in Delta State, Nigeria. In the context of rapidly evolving digital technologies and the increasing importance of information literacy, the research aimed to assess how these factors impact the methods and effectiveness of user education. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing descriptive and correlational designs, with data collected through a structured questionnaire administered to librarians in the four-state government-owned universities in Delta State. The findings revealed that user education primarily serves to teach students how to access and utilise information resources, familiarize them with library services, and enforce library rules and regulations. Various methods such as lectures, workshops, and guided library tours were found to be extensively used in delivering user education. The study also affirmed that librarians demonstrate a high level of information literacy proficiency in the user education process. Significant relationships were identified between information literacy, and the methods of delivering user education, highlighting the interconnected influence of these factors on the educational strategies employed in libraries. This study contributes to the knowledge of library services by emphasizing the role of information literacy in optimizing educational delivery.
