Abstract
This study was conducted on student’s achievement in the use of library resources at a
Master’s level. The overall grade point average and the number of books check-out was
collected for students who graduated from 2009 to 2010 was the main instrument for identifying the relationship of borrowing of books with their final grade. To supplement
the findings, an online library questionnaire was distributed to students currently registered for Semester 1 of Academic year 2011/12 and 135 were returned. This study
was carried out to determine how borrowing of books will have an impact to student
achievement performance for students at a Master level. In addition, the result will serve
as an assessment of library usage to demonstrate effective management and leadership practices that will result in continuous improvement with an increasing use of resources and services.
