Abstract: | The paper examined Intra communication patterns in academic libraries through a survey of tertiary institutions in Niger State, Nigeria. The research design used was survey. The researchers designed self constructed instrument tagged “Intra-Communication Pattern Questionnaire” (INTROCOPQ) which after thorough validation from experienced academic colleagues, was administered to selected library staff in the institutions under investigation. The findings from the data collected were analysed using simple statistical tools. Part of the findings amongst other things are that the messages that are sent within the libraries are perfectly understood and acted upon accurately; and that communication breakdown that occur in libraries are part of normal human relationship and not because of ethnic or social-cultural diversity. The researchers recommended amongst other things that communication courses should be made core courses for librarians and para professional librarians in training; and that library staff should be given in-service training on the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) |
