About this title

Synopsis

All the types of electronic resources listed in the study are available with electronic books having the highest responses. The study found out that there is no significant difference in the extent to which users utilize ERs. The study recommended among others, that since electronic books are available in the university library, the University library management should intensify the availability of other types especially CD-ROMs and DVD by supplying more. Insufficient staffing, lack of modern tools, difficulties in cataloguing and classification backlogs, insufficient motivation, etc., as there are some challenges facing the technical departments of the studied academic library. The study also reveals, as an indication of a brighter future or good prospects for the technical divisions in the library studied, the increased advocacy for library automation, training opportunities available outside the country, introduction of an information management system, rapid transition from the manual method to the computerized method, etc.
