Innovations in library services and need for professional development among librarians with growth in research have brought to bear on the concept of embedded librarianship as a new research area in librarianship. It is expected that librarians in Nigeria must do all to move with the current trend in the discipline. This study aims to under the roles of awareness, attitude and perception of academic librarians in North-east Nigeria towards embedded librarianship practice. A survey of 11 university libraries in the region was undertaken with 356 conveniently selected samples. The descriptive result indicates a high level of awareness while attitude and perception recorded significant agreement to answer the research questions. The null hypothesis of non-significant effect of awareness, perception and attitude on embedded librarianship among academic librarians in university libraries in the north-east, Nigeria was rejected at F(3: 352) =2376.807, P<.0005, R2 =.953 and was replaced with the alternate hypothesis. The study concludes that academic librarians in the study area have a high awareness level, positive attitude and perception about embedded librarianship. However, the actual practice of the term is still low from the practical assessment.

Social networking sites are regarded as popular social media platforms that have rapidly changed the communication setting of today’s social world. Today social networking sites have been accepted by higher institution making it a platform where students connect with their lecturers, fellow students and other higher authorities across the board. This therefore called for the study to investigate the use of social networking sites among undergraduates of Delta State University. The study employed descriptive research design, by asking 300 undergraduates across various faculties of the institution questions on their preferred social networking sites and their purpose of using social networking sites. The 300 undergraduates were selected through the systematic random sampling method from a population of 5, 300 undergraduates of the institution. The findings revealed that the students widely make use of social networking sites; however, the most preferred social networking sites used are Face book, Whats App, Twitter and YouTube. The least used social networking site as indicated by the students is My Space. As regards to the purpose of using social networking sites, the findings indicates that private messaging, photo upload and video sharing were the main purposes for which the students use social networking sites. It is important to state that this study was conducted in a single academic institution; therefore, findings may not be applicable and reasonable to be generalized on all academic institutions. However, students’ motivation that will enable students use varieties of social networking sites is highly recommended. In conclusion, students should also be motivated to use social networking sites as platforms for academic discussions such as for assignment and other course related works as well as receive and send academic information among their peers.

The present study attempts to examine an Information Literacy Skills of Science Faculty Members of First Grade Colleges affiliated to University of Mysore, Karnataka. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample population. A well-structured questionnaire was designed and randomly distributed to 1000 Science Faculty Members for data collection, out of which 826 filled questionnaires was received for data analysis. The major findings of the study revealed that majority of 420(50.8%) Faculty Members generally need advance level of information for research and academic work. Out of 826 faculty members, 817 faculty members are in need of academic information representing 98.9% of the total sample. It is observed that majority of 810(98.1%) faculty members use simple search techniques for information retrieval, they are not very much acquainted with the use of wild card search to retrieve information. About 728(88.1%) faculty members have the knowledge of copyright issues.
