“…It was also reported that university drop-out has increased as a result of not attaining the minimum pass grade, and could be attributable to the students preoccupied with social media sites for the wrong purposes. It was reported by Bowen (2012) that the dropout in Nigeria could cause a national problem when left unabated.…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the prevailing conditions of social media use among undergraduate students of Library and Information Science in a Nigerian University. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 180 full-time undergraduate students purposely. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze data collected through the administration of questionnaire. Research findings showed that a great number of students of Library and Information Science are addicted to social media for wrong academic purposes. The levels of addiction varied according to four Likert scale type. The highly addiction was among student using WhatApp (40.82%) and not addicted among students using BB chat (13.12%). The demographic indicators provided the obvious results of singles (77.78%) possessing prevalence tendency of addiction, and surprisingly those between the ages of 27-30 (40%) were most addicted. The paper recommends awareness programmes that are tailored to reveal the ills of social media addiction and pave ways to balance use of social media platforms that benefit academic activities among students.

Nonrandomized evaluation designs are an important part of social work research because randomization is not always feasible in social work settings. Although randomly assigned groups are assumed to be equivalent, nonrandomly assigned groups are not. In nonrandomized settings, designs with multiple waves are ideal, but two-wave designs are still widely used. A common method for estimating a treatment effect in nonrandom two-wave designs is the pretest–posttest model. However, depending on relationships among participants and the method of assignment to treatment groups, researchers should consider a difference-in-differences approach to testing treatment effects. Authors describe and compare the pretest–posttest and difference-in-differences approaches and assumptions and offer guidelines, developed from a literature review, about the conditions under which each model is likely to be best. Authors also demonstrate the decision-making process and application of the methods in an evaluation of an elementary school intervention program.
