dc.description.abstractThe paper examines the information seeking behavior and utilization of Arabicand Islamic Studies Teachers in Nigeria. Data were collected by using astructured questionnaire from delegates at National Association of Arabic andIslamic Teachers in Nigeria (NATAIS) Conference at Oshogbo in July 2009.One hundred and eighty six respondents were surveyed. The data collectedinclude types of information sources, Information access tools, use of variousformal, informal and internet sources. The findings revealed that the maininformation demands that led Arabic and Islamic teachers into seekinginformation include updating of knowledge, research, and preparation forlecture. The teachers were also found to rely mainly on textbooks with verylittle use of other information resources like journals (both print andelectronic). The paper recommends that teachers of Arabic and Islamicstudies should be provided more access to libraries and the electronicinformation resources to enable them perform their functions. Incentives andother motivations such locating access to information sources and resourcesat distance not far from their offices and equipped the teachers with skills onhow to utilize them will increase usage and ultimately improve theirteachings.en_US
