Books were ranked as the most important source for teaching and research purposes, followed by law reports and statutes. It was found that respondents used various sources for acquiring the needed information.

A questionnaire was distributed to 80 IIUM law faculty members and 66 filled-in questionnaires were returned, giving an overall response rate of 82.5 percent. The purpose of this study is to identify the information channels used by the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) law faculty members, information sources preferred by them, methods employed for getting the needed information and their library use pattern.
