Paucity of reference materials on this contemporary topic prompted the compilation of the bibliography thereby fill a crucial gap in LIS bibliographic literature. This enumerative bibliography is the researcher’s effort to provide a single-point reference materials to aid researchers and information seekers to easily find relevant and current literature on the topic. The bibliography puts together sources retrieved from the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s library databases: EBSCOhost, Emerald Insight, Google Scholar, Sabinet, and WorldCat and Google.com To optimise the search results, Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT) were used to combine the keywords to optimize retrievals. The reference sources found were recent materials mainly from e-journals, e-books, blogs and online sources. A total of 317 bibliographic sources were retrieved and arranged alphabetically in different source categories.
