1.10 Conclusion & Recommendations
The study investigated the relationship between the impact of electronic resources and usage in academic
libraries in Ghana: evidence from Koforidua Polytechnic & All Nations University College, Ghana. All the four
contracts (satisfaction level, preferred database, time and frequency, and level of awareness) of impact of
electronic resources indicated a significant positive relationship with usage among the users. Base on the premise
above, all the above hypothesized relationships between impact of electronic resources and usage are accepted.
The study recommended among others that the institutions in question should adopt more dynamic marketing
strategies in order to inform and create awareness of the existence of the electronic resources. This must be
highlighted on the availability of databases, time and frequency of accessibility of the system. These could
include fresh student’s orientation, faculty seminars, mailing list to users, circulars, memorandums, selective
dissemination of information and word of mouth.
