Abstract
The wake of COVID-19 pandemic has thrown in a revolution of technological resources and its usefulness in dissemination of information services in Academic libraries. There is need to strategize for effective use of evolving technological resources. Post COVID-19 pandemic era requires emphatic sensitization and implementation of the government protocol to avoid reinfection of the community within the university environment, which is usually populated. An observational factor of the non-pharmaceutical preventive measures compliance against COVID-19 (which is regarded as the new normal within the faculty libraries) requires stringent enforcement by a supervisory team due to the high rate of deviance in the university environment. This paper seeks to discuss the strategies for re-positioning of faculty libraries to effectively use trending technologies to disseminate information needs of the teeming students in their various departmental academic environments. The paper recommended measures to divert pressures from the Main Library to the faculty libraries with the objectives of providing intellectual library services in a controlled population to avert breaching laid down government protocols within the university community. The technological measures in this perspective are: KOHA, RemoteXs, RFID and Groupware Technology etc. The challenges are; infrastructural inadequacies, funding, adaptability of the new normal and enforcement of the preventive protocols. Recommendations are: Inaugurating COVID-19 Protocol Committee, Budgeting and financing appropriately, Up-skilling and Retooling, Activation of Institutional Repositories and Positivism in Attitudinal change to use of technology for effective information service deliveries in faculty libraries.
