Access and use of libraries and information centres by agricultural researchers and extension workers in Zimbabwe

---

Abstract
Access to information through libraries and information centres, among others, enhances the timeliness and
quality of such information. In this study we sought to establish how information generated by both researchers and extension workers was being managed by the respective divisions for access and posterity. Data was collected through a questionnaire which was distributed to agricultural researchers and extension workers. The study found that there was limited access to libraries which confirms why the majority of extension workers consulted print sources and departmental collections first, as well as their preference for using publications in disseminating information to farmers. The respondents also utilised alternative sources of information, including circulars from the ministry’s head office, personal and departmental collections, media sources (newspapers, radio, audio materials), and other libraries. Libraries in NGOs, ICRISAT, FAO and Seed Co were also mentioned.

Keywords: Agriculture, Extension, Research, Libraries, Zimbabwe
