The null hypothesis states that there is no significant accessibility of electronic resources by the graduate students of the department of educational technology and library science in the University of Uyo
Summary
While progress has been made in the past few years, much remains to be done to secure the future of the libraries and maximise their potentials for providing electronic research sources to support their Universities. University libraries collect a variety of materials for preservation and use of the library patrons. Libraries provide access to scholarly literature that, as a rule, is not freely available on the Web. Often, it is in the University that students become aware of libraries resources, usually while having to write research papers. On inception, it inherited the two campuses of the former University of Cross River State, which it replaced. The Public Service Division deals directly with readers and regulates the use of library materials. The office of university librarian provides data for planning, budgeting, control and co-ordination of the entire library
