Summary, etc. The paper identifies the level of awareness among library staff in power sector organizations about select social media applications and the frequency of use of those applications at their work place. The study also identifies the perception among library staff with regard to the usefulness of those applications as well as the available sources from where they could learn about those social media applications. In this study, 48 responses were obtained from the library staff using questionnaire as survey tool. The analysis of results of the survey revealed that the library staffs in those libraries were neither adequately aware of social media applications not had fair understanding of their usefulness in libraries. It was also found that library staff lacked appropriate training on the use of social media applications in libraries.
