    (Department of Library, Archival and Information Studies University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2020-12) Olaojo, P. O.; Oyeboade, J. A.
    There is a mass appeal of social media on the Internet in recent times. Perhaps, this is due to the gradually increasing amount of time that undergraduate students spend on the Internet to the detriment of their studies. The study, therefore, investigated socioeconomic Status and use of social media by undergraduates in Redeemer's University, Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design of the correlational type. Data were collected from 121 undergraduates of the Redeemer's University with the use of a structured questionnaire with Cronbach alpha [a = 0.78J. Data analysis was done using frequency count and percentage distribution to answer the research question 1-3 white the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient at 0.05 level of significance was used to answer the research question 4. The main social media use by the undergraduates includes Facebook (100.0%), WhatsApp (86.8%), Ebuddy and (82.6%). Socio-economic Status of affluence for undergraduates' use of social media include: dignifying parental occupation, parental educational qualification, and steady monthly allowance. The students used social media for chatting (71.9%), checking through wall/news (76.9%), sharing Information, files, photos, and documents (100.0%). Socio-economic Status has significant relationship with use of social media (r = .816”; df = 120; p <0.05). The undergraduates use different types of social media for leisure, entertainment and knowledge sharing. It was, therefore, recommended that university authorities should seek to appreciate the use of social media for academic purposes; researchers should focus more on studies of social media use in education, and so on.

    Social media monitoring by personnel in libraries: listening etiquette and best practices for engaging users
    (Department of School Library and Media Technology, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2023) Olaojo, P. O.; Oyeboade, J. A.; Salvador, Y. M.
    Social media has the ability to build social Capital, facilitate knowledge sharing, and be used for internal and external communication by institutions and organizations. Many libraries around the world, on the other hand, appear to sign up for and make their presence known on various social media platforms without actively using them. Perhaps there isn’t enough manpower to keep track of how libraries use social media to give Services to their patrons. Asa result, this study discussed concerns related to social media surveillance by library workers as well as effective practices for interacting and listening to users. The paper was written using a literature- based methodology. Textbooks, scholarly publications, media, and Internet sources were used to compile the literature review, which encompassed the years 2007 to 2017. Before valid decisions for inferences were made, issues and themes were thoroughly compared. Best practices for engaging library users on social media; Social media monitoring plan for library Professionals; Building some early social media successes; Measuring the efficiency of social media strategies; The lead generation funnel; Best practices for engaging library users on social media; and Listening etiquette for engaging library users on social media were all reviewed thoroughly. Facebook, Linkedln, MySpace, Academia.com, GoodRead.com, Classmates.Com, LibraryThing, YouTube, Instagram, Podcast, Pinterest, Flicker, Tumblr, and other social media platforms were deemed useful for effective, dependable, and satisfactory Information and Service delivery to users. Consequently, library marketing strategies should be improved to ensure that patrons of individual libraries are adequately informed about web-based Information resources and Services available, as well as where such resources and services could be offered to them on Internet-related platforms, particularly social media. Library management should also provide regular training and workshops for library staff and users in Order to improve their ICT literacy.
