The research adopted the descriptive survey design. The population of the research comprised 2,500 lecturers in several private higher learning institutions in Selangor. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. A total of 750 copies of questionnaire were administered by the researchers, out of which 730 copies were correctly filled and returned and used for the research. The data obtained were analyzed using frequencies, mean and standard deviation. The results revealed that lecturers show a positive attitude in communicating with librarians for a productive teaching process in several private higher learning institutions in Selangor. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that lecturers should check the library information resources at the beginning of each semester to know whether the information resources required for the courses they teach are sufficient or not; this will help in building library collections. Lecturers should also communicate with the librarian on library resources and services and the way they feel that librarian can serve them better.
