Abstract

This study employed the questionnaire to determine factor inhibiting the optional use of the Audio-visual unit of the
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Library, Bauchi and what would motivate greater use of the facilities of the Unit.
The study revealed that lack of current software packages, non-awareness that the unit can be put to personal use, tight lecture
schedule, inability to operate the hardware and inadequate infrastructural facilities inhibited the effective and optional use of the
unit. On the other hand, the use of audio-visual aids to deliver lectures, the regular advertisement of new audio-visual and the
provision of improved infrastructural facilities will motivate better patronage.
