Abstracts
The’ main goal of this study was to assess the
librarians' understanding of the many types of online infoimotion sources and
the technologies used to find, gather, organise, and use them in order to give
successful library services in public university libraries in South East,
Nigeria. Three objectives, three research questions, and one hypothesis were
developed and tested at the 0.05 level ofsignificance to serve as the study's
guiding principles. The study used a descriptive survey as its methodology. 174
core professional university librarians from Federal and State public
universities in the South-East of Nigeria made up the study's population. The
whole census sampling method was used. Data were gathered using a standardised
questionnaire instrument. Using Cronbach Alpha, validated copies of the
questionnaire were assessed for reliability. The reliability coefficient
obtained was 0.94, supporting the dependability of the questionnaire. Out of
the 174 questionnaires that were distributed to the respondents, 157 were
returned, or 90% of the total. In order to calculate the frequency counts and
mean scores, descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data and show it
in tables. Each item's agreement was determined bv using a criterion mean of
2.50. Although not all ofthe tools known are fully utilised, especially in the
federal university libraries, the study showed that there was good knowledge
ofonline information resources and the tools with which they are utilisedfor
effective service delivery in the university libraries under study by the
librarians. Key words: Online, Information, Resources. Utilisation, Services,
