INTRODUCTION
As the society today is digitally charged, library clienteles no longer relied only on traditional based information resources. They tend to access both traditional based resources and electronic base resources. With the help of ICT, accessibility of electronic information is made easy through the internet.
The internet is used to support Academic Programmes. Fortunately, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Library is internet enabled. Today’s investigation shows the most accessed websites by clienteles and reasons why clienteles access them. The websites are ranked from 1-5. Rank 1 is the most accessed site while Rank 5 is the least accessed. Today’s investigation revealed the use of the following websites:
1. www.google.com
2. www.unizikcampusportal.com
3. www.yahoo.com
4. www.mtnonline.com
5. www.facebook.com
