Abstract
In 1993, all of the six polytechnic institutions in Ghana were elevate d to the status of tertiary-level institutions. This study is an asses sment of the state of polytechnic libraries in relation to their new r oles as libraries of tertiary institutions. It seeks to investigate th e adequacy or otherwise of personnel, finance, materials, accommodatio n, equipment and services in these libraries. The writers conclude tha t these facilities are woefully inadequate and have to be improved in order to enhance the academic performance of the students and staff of the polytechnics.
