Data for the study was collected using questionnaire, administered to the respondents in their respective sections with the assistance of professional colleagues who was also staff of the UNIMED. The results revealed that the health information required by Health Sciences/Medical Librarians in academic library studied are; blood pressure control information 82%, food and drugs 91%, cancer information 78% Malaria treatment 75% and information on drug reactions 68%.This was so because the mortality rates of the mentioned diseases is very high not only in Nigeria but globally, and if proper health awareness campaign is not initiated on time, productivity of Librarians may be threatened in the future.
