A successful EDD program depends upon good intranet and internet network systems, document availability, user awareness and training, and ease of use. The major challenge to this service is inconsistent power supply which the university is addressing with the aid of a grant from the MacArthur Foundation for backup electric generator and a university solar energy project.

New information delivery regulations and laws guiding adequate service will also emerge but must be properly applied for effective and positive results.Item Library resources and information technology application in the study of english(General Studies Programme (GSP) Unit University of Ibadan, 2012) Ajala, E.
