Abstract

ABSTRACT: The study was on blog technology and constraints to implementation in public university libraries in South-East, Nigeria. The study design was descriptive survey. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The sample size was 49 respondents. The study revealed that the respondents' level of awareness regarding the use of library blog was very high. Also, inadequate electricity provision and inadequate skilled librarians to manage the technology were the main bane of use of Library weblog and other social media tools in the libraries. It was recommended that Library Authorities should provide adequate funds to the libraries to enable them provide alternative means of electricity (for example, solar backup).
