Abstract
In most academic institutions, particularly in the third world countries, adequate attention is not given to the library. This study, therefore, focuses on the growth and development of library infrastructure, using Osun State University, Osogbo as a case study. With the adoption of participatory observation method, the research examines the updates on the previous work carried out on the subject. It also interrogates the infrastructural growth and development of a multi-campus university. The findings include Osun State Library: Development and projections from 2013-2030, the newly completed two-storey library complex building at the main campus, Osogbo, its operations, the E-Library Section of the library, access to library resources and other units/sections in the library. The study concludes that library is the heart of every academic institution and must be given serious attention by maintaining all the library buildings across the six campuses. Also, it needs to recruit more staff, invest in building staff capacity and expertise and make the security of the library topmost priority, such as investing in Electronic Security System.
