                <text>This study aimed to examine social media usage and its effects on students' academic performance. The study adopted a survey design approach. The population for this study consisted of undergraduate students from two universities, thus, one private university (Valley View University–VVU) in Techiman in the Bono Region and one public university (Ghana Communications Technology University) in Takoradi, in the Western Region. The study used 5% of the population to arrive at a sample size of 381. The stratified and simple random sampling techniques were applied to select the students. A well–structured questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. The study established that social media had negatively affected their English writing skills, which is detrimental to their academic performance. The results showed that most students visited social media platforms daily and spent more time on these platforms. The study identified challenges like; lack of personal security and privacy, poor internet services, unreliable power, the cost of internet connectivity, and many others. The study made recommendations to the management of both universities to organise workshops and seminars and educate students on the dangers of excessive use of social media platforms.</text>

                <text>This study was conducted to ascertain the collection development practices at Ghana Communication&#13;
Technology University (GCTU) Library. The study set out to find out if there exists a collection development policy at&#13;
GCTU library. The population of the study was grouped into two main categories, namely users of the library and the&#13;
library staff. In the selection of students, the simple random sampling technique was used to select the participants. The&#13;
general population for library staff was used. The sample size of the student participants was 226 comprising 120 male,&#13;
106 female students, and 16 library staff. Data for the study was collected through questionnaire and interviews. The&#13;
SPSS was used to analyze the questionnaire and content analysis used to analyse the interviews. The findings revealed&#13;
that the GCTU library has a collection development policy even though it does not guide selection so much. Findings&#13;
again indicated that the library has both print and electronic resource for its users, as well as 24-hour internet services but&#13;
it is not too stable. It was recommended that the supply of internet to the library should be improved to aid the access to&#13;
the library’s e-resources. </text>

                <text>The study examined disaster preparedness in academic libraries in Ghana. The researchers adopted a mixed method for this study. Three university libraries in Ghana were selected to find out about their level of disaster preparedness. The population consisted of 52 professionals and paraprofessionals from the selected academic libraries. A questionnaire and interview guide were adopted to collect the data. The quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (22.0 version), whereas the qualitative data were analysed using Nvivo software (20.0).

                <text>This study was carried out to ascertain the trends of donations to Trinity Theological Seminary and Ghana Christian University College libraries, all in Ghana, and how these donations have affected the collection development and service delivery of these libraries. Two (2) head librarians and two (2) assistant librarians from these institutional libraries participated in the study. A qualitative research design was employed to collect data for the study and the data were analyzed by thematic analysis. Findings indicated that these two university libraries received donations on regular basis from their partners. It was established that majority of the materials received were in the area of theology and that they received fewer donations in the other subject areas offered in the Universities.</text>

                <text>he study was designed to identify the impact of social media usage on academic performance of undergraduate students of Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU), Accra. The survey method was adopted for this study. The objectives of this study were to find out the purpose of visit to these social media platforms, to analyse the average time spent on these platforms, to discover the effects of these platforms on the academic performance of students and to examine related problems in the usage of the platforms. 800 students were selected as sample for the study. Random sampling technique was employed for sample selection. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 20) was used to analyze the data. From the findings, it was concluded that despite public views concerning the misuse of social media among the youth, most of the students were interested to use social media positively for their academic purposes. The study recommended that counselling programs must be designed for students to understand themselves and manage their study time to avoid social media misuse.</text>

                <text>The study was designed to identify the impact of social media usage on academic performance of undergraduate students of Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU), Accra. The survey method was adopted for this study. The objectives of this study were to find out the purpose of visit to these social media platforms, to analyse the average time spent on these platforms, to discover the effects of these platforms on the academic performance of students and to examine related problems in the usage of the platforms. 800 students were selected as sample for the study. Random sampling technique was employed for sample selection. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 20) was used to analyze the data. From the findings, it was concluded that despite public views concerning the misuse of social media among the youth, most of the students were interested to use social media positively for their academic purposes. The study recommended that counselling programs must be designed for students to understand themselves and manage their study time to avoid social media misuse.</text>

There were some challenges impeding records management in the Admissions and Records offices–among them are; lack of adequate staff, inadequate storage equipment, lack of periodic training, lack of policy to guide records management and inability of students to furnish the Admission office with the needed information. It was recommended that the University should employ a professional archivist to manage student records, provide adequate storage facilities, organise periodic training for staff as well promulgate a policy to guide records management in the Admissions and Records offices.</text>
