LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCES ACADEMICS ATTITUDES TOWARD ONLINE TECHNOLOGIES: IMPEDING FACTORS AN

New online tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, generally known as 'Web 2.0' tools, are made possible by the Internet and web. The purpose of the research article presented here is to investigate the use of these technologies in library and information science instruction (LIS). Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data in this study, and they were done with academics and training supervisors at Sultan Qaboos University in Oman's Department of Information Studies (DIS). Faculty hold a high esteem for the use of various online resources in education, according to the survey, but only a few educators opt to employ these tools in their teaching practise. There are three reasons why so few academics opt to utilise these. (1) Heavy workloads combined with a lack of Internet access; (2) Concerns about a lack of control over the content of online tools due to a lack of ownership; and (3) the use of other e-learning platforms such as Learning Management Systems and Moodle, which may obstruct the use of various online tools. The survey also discovered two distinct actions that are extensively done among academics: (1) exchanging resources and knowledge, and (2) using these technologies as discussion forums.
