CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Introduction
The step of technological change is quick. The new library technologies are available and many more are looming. It is not possible that can afford to adopt all the innovation and technologies Of course, no library can afford to implement each and every innovation once it becomes obtainable. Libraries must have a vision to match with new technologies to user and institutional needs. Libraries need to have the aspiration in adopting new technologies. Undoubtedlythe implementation costs will be important for any kind of new technologies for all library categories especially academic libraries. Because academic libraries must have the technologies which will meet requirements of the users. Before implementing the new technologies, the feasibility study is very important and need a focus approach that how it will work in the future. Library needs do not implement any technology not only on the basis of what it will do for library users today, but also with the hope that it will grow and change to meet the evolving needs of library users over the next few years. Therefore, technology decisions need to be made with an eye to the future. The booming of technology cannot be stopped by anyone and in any way. Libraries have become early adopters of technologies; letting the patrons be a collaborator rather than a consumer of the services (Goswami & Nisangka, 2014). Emerging technology can be defined as a “technology that is on the cusp of adoption” (Cervone, 2010). Hyper automation, Human augmentation, distributed cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) security are the major technology trends in 2020 which are predicted to be a game-changers in all the fields including libraries (Raiker, 2020). Concerning the absorption of technologies, libraries in the western world stand forefront and even have an upper hand. Many libraries are lagging behind of what west has experimented and introduced. The technological integration in libraries has become the need of the hour to work for a common goal by uniting each one across the world (Chloe, 2018).
HERE IS WHAT OUR HAPPY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
I actually googled and saw about projectmaster.com.ng, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it.

I received excellent customer support, and quickly. Thank you so much!
I love your service! I would recommend projectmaster.com.ng to anyone. What a great find!
