Abstract:
This work examined collaborative writing tools (CWTs) use by Librarians in Enugu State. The study was guided by five research questions. 208 librarians, registered with the Nigerian Library Association, Enugu State Chapter served as the population of the study. A questionnaire developed by the researchers, based on the research questions, served as the instrument for data collection. Percentages, means and Standard Deviation (STD) were used for data analysis. Findings show that librarians in Enugu State are aware of very few CWTs. Findings also revealed that none of the few tools librarians are aware of is used extensively. The authors concluded that though the respondents are aware of the existence of CWTs, the knowledge is of little or no value since they are not making use of it. The authors recommended that Library Institutions should help create awareness of collaborative writing tools among librarians through professional development programmes amongst others.
