Abstract

Background of the study: The implementation and integration of information and communication technology in library services and operations has revolutionized traditional practices, enabling libraries to adapt to the evolving needs of users in the digital era. Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to examine the types and purposes of cloud computing used for library service delivery in academic libraries in Kwara State, Nigeria. Methods: The study used a descriptive survey approach. The population was all the 108 librarians in the eight universities in Kwara State, Nigeria. A total enumeration sampling technique was employed, and a questionnaire was used to collect data from the librarians. The study answered three research questions. Findings: The study revealed that OCLC, Word cat, Google Docs, and other types of cloud computing are being utilized by the librarians. The study also revealed that poor internet connectivity, among other challenges, militates against the use of cloud computing for academic library service delivery. Conclusion: The study concluded that the librarians make use of cloud computing for library services. The study recommends that the library should provide reliable internet facilities with fast speeds, high broadband, and reliable power supplies, among others.

Abstract

The research explores the accessibility, utilisation, and perceived usefulness of library resources among undergraduates in Nigeria, aiming to enhance their study habits. Conducted through a survey with 410 undergraduates from three universities offering library and information science programs, data was collected via questionnaires and analysed descriptively and inferentially. Findings revealed predominant usage of library resources via the university library, departmental library, and electronic databases, including journals, OPAC, textbooks, databases and projects/theses. Students acknowledged the usefulness of these resources in research projects, knowledge acquisition, learning quality, and assignments. Common study habits encompassed post-lecture review, utilising breaks for study, minimizing distractions and prioritise academic commitments over social activities. Statistical analyses showcased significant correlations and indicated that independent variables collectively influenced 48.3% of observed variations in study habits. Ultimately, the study suggests that leveraging accessible, useful library resources could enhance undergraduates' study habits and foster academic success.
