However, after questionnaire administration and retrieval, 72 of the respondents were used for the study. Frequency count and mean statistics were deployed in analyzing the data. Result of the study revealed that the awareness level of (RDM) services amongst the librarians was high; and so was the extent of implementation of RDM.
