The implementation and usage of information and communication technology (ICT) in library functions and facilities has revolutionized the way people use information and librarians perform their work. As a result of the advent of social media, the world's knowledge outlook has changed significantly, resulting in the sharing of thoughts, emotions, images, and videos as resources. A library is worth considering; it is a key to learning, a foundation for long-term mastery of information, and it promotes independent decision-making. The use of social media in library activities has enticed a significant number of users, but it has also challenged libraries to modernize their service delivery. Facebook, Twitter, Wikis, WhatsApp, MySpace, and LinkedIn facilitate community courses, collaboration, and information sharing. As a consequence, it is vital for libraries to consider and prioritize their users' needs.

Use Of Social Media

Today, social media is increasing its influence on the communication environment. The toolkit of online platforms creates new opportunities for the communication strategy of the organization. Interactivity and speed of information dissemination contribute to the transformation of crisis communication models. The possibility of open dialogue in the network between the company and the public allows you to analyze the reaction of the audience to the crisis and choose the most successful crisis response strategy. Social media allows you to establish a long-term relationship with the audience, which is the basis for the successful exit of the organization from the crisis. The use of social media in crisis communications is associated with certain risks. Uncontrollability and constant variability of the socio-media environment are often the causes of crises.

This paper examines the abduction of the schoolgirls in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria in 2014. The paper examined how the abduction of the schoolgirls generated responses and support for the rescue of the abducted girls from people and organization from different parts of the globe. The Islamists terrorist organization operating in Borno State has attracted the attention of the world since 2009 when they started attacking government establishments and security installations northeast which later escalated to major cities in Northern Nigeria. Methodologically, the paper utilized secondary sources of data to analyze the phenomenon studied. The paper revealed that the development and innovations in information and communication technology which dismantled traditional and colonial boundaries enabled people to express support, solidarity and assist victims of conflict who resides millions of Kilometers away. This shows that Internet-based communications technology has reduced the distance of time and space that characterised traditional mass media. The campaign for the release of the schoolgirls on the social media platforms particularly Twitter and Facebook has tremendously contributed to the release of some of them. Furthermore, the girls freed from abduction have received proper attention: education and reintegration programmes which enable them to start post-abduction life. In this regard, social media has become a tool for supporting the government in moments of security challenges which the Bring Back Our Girls campaign attracted foreign and domestic assistance to Nigeria in the search of the abducted girls and the fight against the Islamist insurgents.

Use Of Social Media

This study investigates the interface between increased religiousity among Muslim Arab women in Israel, and their social media use. To understand their use of social media as part of a profound change in social identity, fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with Muslim women aged 19-26 who are, or have been, social media users, who live in Israel, and who have become significantly more religious than they had previously been. The findings show two different logics of social media use in times of religious identity change. The first includes reconstructing social media ties to be an alternative, supportive environment, while the second relates to decision making based on the religious rules newly adopted by respondents. Two main social practices were related to the second kind of social media use: managing (and often removing) ties with male users, which raised profound personal dilemmas, and removing digital traces by deleting past posts and photos. Such decisions were made to obey religious rules rather than to gratify personal needs. Social media accompany and assist in the identity change, starting from its very beginnings, and throughout the process. While previous research shows that SNS tie management is an essential part of our identity, our findings show the religious identity of women to be a distinct case where religious rules guide behaviour and decision making. The very fact that these acts and dilemmas are visible to us is a result of paying special attention to identities in flux.
