Description
Summary:Libraries hold enormous store of information that users (such as students) need to access for academic excellence. According to David and Felix (2006), the dynamics of globalization, plus the introduction of information and communication technologies resulted in its deployment in sectoral and national development. To this end, libraries now have both printed document as well as electronic information resources in their collection. Studies such as Borgman, Smat, Milwood and Finley (2005); Talja, Vakkari, Fry and Wouters (2007); Vakkari (2008); and Nov and Ye (2009) affirmed that electronic libraries have become an increasingly important way in providing library services to users. Users which in this study are conceptualized as students need information to satisfy their needs, and also to promote and enhance their academic pursuit during their course of study in the university. The mandate of the university library is therefore to provide adequate and relevant information resources both in print and online for users.
