She stated this at a workshop organised for postgraduate students of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The librarian, who preached the need for specialised information sources, urged the participants to use libraries fully.
Represented by a principal librarian in the university, Dr, Fehintola Onifade, Salaam noted that the workshop would help the participants to access and make use of credible information for teaching, research and community development.
The Dean of the Postgraduate School, Prof. Ololade Enikuomehin, who hailed the selection process of the participants, urged them to endeavour to transfer the knowledge gained to their colleagues.
Meanwhile, Onifade, who doubled as a resource person at the workshop, noted that libraries were instrumental in stimulating learning and advancing the society.
She spoke on the theme "The Role of the Library in Research."
According to her, the university library particularly has numerous books, periodicals and other materials, which would help a researcher in carrying out his/her research.
Noting that there is a link between library and research, she stated that the former remained a learning zone for collection of facts and information for carrying out active intellectual investigation.
Another librarian, Mr. Oyintola Amusa, who spoke on "Literature Review/General Evaluation of Information Sources", said literature review offered information about previous
studies, just as it assisted the researcher to avoid repetitions in further investigations.
