Considering the increasing number of questionnaire usually submitted to research, training and statistics Unit of FUTO Library by researchers in the field of library and information science, the researchers was agitated and motivated to find out the reliability of the questionnaire as an instrument for data collection in this discipline. Being a case study, the target population was the FUTO Library Senior Staff made up of academic and non academic staff. Questionnaires were used to collect data from 96 senior staff who were the respondents. These were chosen due to the fact that they have been involved in a number of researches to get to their level in the library. Data was analyzed using frequency counts and percentages and presented in tables for clarity. The result showed that the researchers, despite the lapses of the questionnaire strongly relied more on the questionnaire than other instruments for data collection in most of their researches.
