Abstract

Background: The National policy of education of Nigeria indicated the importance and need to have functional school libraries, but the situation over the years later is worrisome as many researchers have reported the non-existence of library in many schools and the deplorable state of the ones available. This is hampering the role expected to be played by school libraries in the development of education in Nigeria. Purpose: The research explores the various challenges confronting school libraries and proffer workable solutions. Method: This paper uses literature review as a methodology for conducting research. The literature reviewed exposed the current state of school libraries, the challenges, prospects and the services that can help promote educational developments in school libraries. Result: The findings revealed the challenges limiting school libraries to include inadequate funding, lack of trained personnel, non-compliance to the provisions in the National Educational Policy and the absence of dedicated library time. Possible solutions include library advocacy, ensuring the implementation of the National Educational Policy, enforcing the appointments of trained personnel, developing standard benchmark for establishing and management of school libraries and the introduction of dedicated library time. Conclusion: The paper recommended that LRCN and NLA should constantly advocate for quality service delivery in school libraries through ensuring strict compliance with the provisions in the National Policy of Education by forming accreditation committee to monitor all schools. It was also recommended that the Library and Information Science curriculum be reviewed to include innovative library services that can be adopted to improve reading habits in schools.

Abstract

Background of the study: OER is very beneficial and its adoption and usage by Nigeria universities as recommended by the federal government through National Universities Commission was expected to transmit to national acceptance because of the benefits accrued. Unfortunately, the story is different as so many universities are yet to key into this policy. Purpose: This study investigated the quality of the system and postgraduate students' use of open educational resources in federal universities in South-West, Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to find out how postgraduate students at federal universities in South-West Nigeria used open educational resources. Method: The study's research design is a correlational survey design and includes 9,436 master's degree students as its population; using quota sampling, the sample size is 377. 377 copies of the questionnaire were given in total, and 330 of those were determined to be usable, indicating an 88% response rate. With a criterion mean of 2.50, the data was analyzed using inferential statistics to address the research objectives. Findings: As a result, the following findings were reached. In South-West Nigerian federal universities, postgraduate students have access to excellent quality open educational resources. Postgraduate students use university-based free educational resources to a very little extent. The use of Open Educational Resources (OER) by postgraduate students at universities is negatively correlated with the quality of systems. Conclusion: The study thereby recommends that OER platform providers should ensure they sustain the system quality of OER repositories in order to attract more students to its usage and there should be training and retraining such as workshops to educate the postgraduate students on how to use OER.
