The study evaluated users’ perceptions of the service quality of the readers’ service section of the University of Ilorin Library. A survey research design was used to conduct its analysis. The target demographic for the study is the 45,885 undergraduate students who attend the University of Ilorin in Ilorin, Nigeria. For the study, a simple random sampling technique was used, and a questionnaire served as the instrument for gathering data. The findings showed that lending and interlibrary loan services, provision of seating and study facilities, reference services, current awareness services, user education and information literacy programs, exhibition, display, and publicity, selective information dissemination, and digital library services are just a few of the ways that the University of Ilorin in Ilorin, Nigeria, provides readers’ services.

Bu çalışma, kullanıcıların Ilorin Üniversitesi Kütüphanesinin okuyucu hizmetleri bölümünün hizmet kalitesine ilişkin algılarını değerlendirmektedir. Çalışmanın analizi için bir anket araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın hedef kitlesi, Nijerya’nın Ilorin kentindeki Ilorin Üniversitesine devam eden 45.885 lisans öğrencisidir. Çalışma için basit rastgele örnekleme tekniği kullanılmış ve veri toplama aracı olarak da anket kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, ödünç verme ve kütüphaneler arası ödünç verme hizmetleri, oturma ve çalışma olanaklarının sağlanması, danışma hizmetleri, güncel farkındalık hizmetleri, kullanıcı eğitimi ve bilgi okuryazarlığı programları, sergi, teşhir ve tanıtım, seçici bilgi yayma ve dijital kütüphane hizmetlerinin Nijerya’nın Ilorin kentindeki Ilorin Üniversitesinin okuyucu hizmetleri sağlama yollarından sadece birkaçı olduğunu göstermiştir. Üniversite kütüphanesi, geleneksel bilgi verme biçimini tamamlamak için dijital teknolojileri entegre ederek kullanıcılarına sunduğu bilgi hizmetlerinin sayısını büyük ölçüde artırmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgusu, Ilorin Üniversitesi kütüphanesinin okuyucu hizmetleri bölümünün hizmet kalitesinin henüz olağanüstü olmamasına rağmen, yine de bir ölçüde tatmin edici olduğunu göstermektedir.
