MSc in Educational Leadership Dissertation
Declaration:
These questions are being posed to you 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 questionnaire is based on anonymous answers
and no names are required.

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

Thank you.
Josephine Saliba B.A., P.G.C.E June 2007
