Accessibility to information resources by the public school population

This Master's thesis provides a very useful understanding of the information needs and information seeking behaviour of the school population in Eldoret Municipality, Kenya. It provides a critical analysis of the existing information resources and services. Data for this thesis was collected through questionnaires, interviews, observation and analysis of documentary evidence. The thesis proposes practical, comprehensive and valuable recommendations for the improvement of available resources and services, so that they can meet the academic and other diverse information needs of both teachers and students in Eldoret Municipality schools, Kenya. Other recommendations include the formulation of a National Information Policy for Kenya, coordination of school library services and teaching of information skills to secondary school populations among many other useful proposals.
