Abstract: This study examined the relationship between Teacher's academic qualifications and academic achievement of Senior Secondary school Students in Chemistry. The area for the study was Owerri West LGA. A case study of four secondary schools formed the research design. Teacher's academic qualifications and the SS I student's third term result formed the data which was analysed using simple percentage and Pearson Correlation. Three research questions were answered and the findings of the research reviewed that there is a positive relationship between the teacher's academic qualifications and student's academic achievement. Since teachers professional qualification influences students academic achievement in Chemistry, the government and all stakeholders in education sector should endeavour to implement its policy on basic education for all and thus, create an enlightened society in which every Chemistry teacher would be educated enough to have a positive influence on their Chemistry students for better achievement in the subject.

Abstract: This study investigated the impact of library use on research productivity. The study was carried out using the survey research method. The population was made up of 359 postgraduate students at Babcock University, Ogun state. Sampling was enumerative as all members of the population were used for the study. A self designed questionnaire was used for data collection. Results showed that library services are of utmost importance to the research productivity of postgraduate students as all the respondents who were able to have at least one publication within the last two years affirmed using the library. However, printed books were ranked as the most important library service for research. Although personal assistance of library staff was ranked very low in importance, suggestions made by the respondent for the training of library staff in order to improve staff-user relationship show that the respondents value the assistance of library staff but may not be happy with the way library staff relate to users presently.
