There is need for a continual assessment of services and resource use in the library. This is to determine the extent the library is achieving its aims. The research is a survey of undergraduate students' awareness and use of medical library resources in the College of Health Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria. Sample was 295 students from the three faculties of the College: Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences & Technology and Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences. Results show that 84.8% of the students use the library. Regular users constitute 44.1% while occasional users are 40.7%. There is high awareness of availability of print based information resources. However, about 60% of the respondents are not aware or sure of the existence of electronic information resources in the library. Respondents' major activities in the Medical library are reading personal textbooks (83.9%), newspapers (67.1%), sourcing information for research or project work (65.8%) and class assignments (65.3%). Major barriers reported by the student on the effective use of the medical library are lack of computer / Internet (75.6%) and lack of current materials (60.7%). Improved facilities and resources may motivate the students to fully exploit the tool that is meant to provide information support for their studies and for practice of evidence based medicine upon graduation.
