As one of the first university libraries to embrace ICT adoption in the country, it was necessary to ascertain how the library is faring in terms of digital services provision using social media tools. The paper found that patrons were positive about the provision of certain services using SMTs, but in terms of actual use, there was a lack of interest. Similarly, there was a low frequency of the use of available SMTs in the library; however, Facebook was the most utilized SMT by patrons, followed by Blog. The paper concludes that it is not enough to deploy relevant SMTs but to develop patron-focused services that will endear patrons to use them.
