MSc in Educational Leadership Dissertation
Declaration:
These questions are being posed as part of my MSc final dissertation. My research is
based on the role of libraries in higher education institutions – how they are managed
and what part they fulfil in the management of teaching and learning policies. It also
aims to investigate the use of library facilities and how much of this usership is based on
information literacy skills.

The subsequent transcript will be based on anonymity and pseudonyms will be used if
strictly necessary when directly quoting responses.

Your participation in this survey will be very useful and your honest response to the
following questions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
