ABSTRACT
This study was to assess the internet resources and effective library services. The internet is a
worldwide system of interconnected computer networks. The internet consists of a large
number of linked computer networks forming a global network. It is largely open and free,
allowing users to communicate with each other for work and recreational purposes, as well
as for corporate and personal reasons. Libraries worldwide now invest a lot in internet
access because it reduces the time between the production and utilization of information,
improves cooperation and exchange of ideas with fellow researchers in other institutions,
regions, or countries, furthers the sharing of information, and promotes multidisciplinary
substitutes for expensive hardcopy libraries by providing students with access to scholarly
information resources. The study concluded that the use of internet resources implies the
extent to which library users make effective use of the internet resources and library services
in a specified period. Internet resources and library service have been a concern since the
time libraries changed from being cultural monuments to becoming knowledge acquisition
and information communication centers. Librarians came up with the idea of educating
library users on how to find and locate the information they need for their day-to-day
activities. One of the recommendations made was that internet resources should be provided
in libraries to improve effective library services since the need for connectivity can no longer
be ignored in this era of information and communication technology.
