The Impact of Promotion Strategies and Usage of Library Information Sources and Services in Colleges of Education in South-south, Nigeria

ABSTRACT

The place of libraries in any academic environment cannot be over-emphasized. However, with the advent of social media provided by computer and its associated resources, students are now found of hardly visiting and consequently using conventional libraries. Instead, students are now commonly found of being adapted to the use of electronic social media. Since students are now commonly found of using social media resources such as facebook, twitter, e-mail, etc., it then become imperative to see the possibility of adapting these media to library practice. The study investigates the extent of utilization of electronic library facilities by students in colleges of education. The study was guided by two research questions and two research hypotheses. The population of the study was made up of students in a public college of education in south – South Nigeria.
