Studying social media's presence and prevalence of use in a specific context can be challenging to researchers who may need a comprehensive data collection strategy and sizable amount of resources. Using a population of university libraries' special collections websites based on purposive sampling strategy, the researchers want to find out how social media is used or integrated in the delivery of special collections services. The findings provided an opportunity for researchers to discuss the importance of creating a model for designing an expanded study, and for generating preliminary ideas pertaining to development of policies relevant to the integration of social media particularly in special collections, and in academic libraries as a whole.

Employing student library assistants (SLAs) has been a time-honoured tradition of academic libraries. In the library, SLAs help to staff the circulation desk during hours when librarians are not available, to answer directional or reference questions and to carry out special projects that benefit the library in various ways (Wu 2003: 141). SLAs also benefit from working in the library, not only through financial gain, but university libraries are the best training grounds for the development of their personal and professional competencies. The purpose of the study was to compare the overall employment practices of student library assistants (SLAs) in academic libraries in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The research project is intended to provide an understanding of the factors that affect the selection and recruitment of SLAs, their hours of work and the rate of pay. This study used the survey method as the data collection method. Two sets of questionnaires were designed for two types of respondents, namely student library assistants as well as their supervisors. The information was extracted from the questionnaires and presented in the form of graphs and tables. The study revealed that many academic libraries follow a similar pattern when selecting and recruiting student library assistants; however, issues such as duration of training provided to SLAs, and having a library guide prepared for students, tend to differ. The research findings could contribute towards assisting academic libraries in improving their service delivery and achieving their organisational mandate. Recommendations and suggestions where differences were discovered are shared.

Background: The revolution 4.0 era affects aspects of life, including books. Humans must be able to adapt to changes that may occur in the future. This study aims to determine whether physical books have been replaced by e-books in the digital era along with the 4.0 revolution and the implementation of human technology for the advancement of book form in the digital era. The method used is descriptive qualitative method, interviews and using a purposive sampling strategy. Researchers identify the focus of research to make it easier to find data, then collect data by selecting data and sources with the criteria of informants having used physical books or e-books. The research sample is students aged 15 to 25 years. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman analysis model, namely by collecting data, reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that most students prefer physical books as their reading reference with the reason that physical books are considered more comfortable to use. However, in reality the frequency of using e-books is higher. In this case, it is feared that the level of public literacy will decrease if physical books have been completely replaced by e-books. Recommendation: This research is expected to increase the effectiveness of the use of e-books as a form of axiology implementation in the field of technological development. Limitations: data collection is only limited to respondents who are in an academic environment so that the coverage is narrow.
