The whole world is facing an unforeseen crisis due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The education sector too is not free from its impact. School library professionals faced unpredicted challenges during this time. As physical learning in schools came to a stand-still, teaching- learning process moved from classrooms to personal spaces. As education became deranged, some schools provided access to remote learning via internet and other technological tools. But technological and socio-economic barriers made online education an uncharted territory for a good number of schools in our country. Most of the library professionals rose to the occasion. Working in a quick pace, providing all available resources to support both teachers and students, technology became a saviour to librarians in every nook and corner of our country. This study mainly focused on those who have not compromised with challenges posed by the pandemic. The paper presents an outline of the significant makeover that happened to school libraries and how school librarians, with the help of various technological tools provided a virtual support to their patrons in an excellent manner. The paper tries to suggest some possible solutions on how to provide more efficient library service in future. Keywords: Online Education, Remote Learning, School Library, Technology in Libraries, Virtual Library services.

This study was undertaken to find out the influence of students’ demographic variables on utilization of information resources among undergraduates in universities in South-South Nigeria. The objectives were to determine whether gender, age and academic level of students influence utilization of information resources. To guide the study three hypotheses were formulated. Related literature and empirical studies were also reviewed. Survey research design was also adopted to guide the study. The stratified random sampling technique was adopted in this study to get the universities and accidental sampling technique to get data from the students. A total of one thousand students were used in this study. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the students. One-way analysis of variance and independent t-test were used for data analyses. The result showed that academic level of students influences utilization of information resources, gender and age of students did not significantly influence utilization of library information resources. It was concluded that students should have positive outlook in all their life’s endeavours including their academic pursuits so that they can maximally utilize the quantum of information resources available in the Libraries in Nigerian Universities for improved academic performance and competitive global academic pursuit. Keywords: ICT Innovation, Electronic Resources, User Education, Academic Libraries, Knowledge generation, Demographic Characteristics.
