Abstract

Background: University libraries in Nigeria are confronting the issue of underutilization of their resources and services, which can be ascribed to weak marketing efforts. Purpose: This study aimed at examining the challenges of marketing information resources and services in university libraries in Bayelsa State Nigeria. Method: A descriptive survey design was used for the investigation. The study population included 52 librarians from four university libraries in Bayelsa State. A total enumeration sample strategy was used to collect data via an online questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to 52 librarians, and 47 responded, yielding a 90% response rate. The data were analysed using frequency counts and simple percentages. Results: The results of the study show that all university libraries in Bayelsa State use a variety of marketing techniques to advertise their information resources and services, including library orientation, user education, social media platforms, exhibitions, and displays. Effective marketing efforts in these libraries were, however, hampered by issues like insufficient budget, poor Internet connectivity, a lack of marketing policies, and the absence of a specialized marketing staff. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that university libraries should be supported by adequate funding, improve Internet connectivity, establish a dedicated marketing department or team, collaborate with academic departments and faculty, gather user feedback, and invest in professional development opportunities to enhance marketing efforts.

Abstract

This study analyzed the security of information resources in federal university libraries in south-east Nigeria. The study used a descriptive survey, and the population comprised 172 librarians from five federal university libraries in south-east. Given the small size of the target population, a census sampling technique was applied to sample all the 172 librarians. The data was collected using an online questionnaire. The survey was administered to 172 librarians, with 135 of them returning it, thus, the response rate was 73%. The mean and standard deviation were calculated using SPSS version 29 after the data had been analyzed with frequency counts and simple percentages. The findings revealed that physical access control, ID cards and access authorization, fire prevention and suppression equipment, CCTV cameras, the use of security guards, registration at the gate, and alarm systems were some of the security measures that were implemented, with a low level of implementation of 3m exist detection systems and RFID technology. The findings also show that librarians have moderate-level awareness about security protocols with significant limitations in staff development programs, regular training, and the communication of best security practices. Librarians encounter significant challenges in securing information resources, such as inadequate funding, lack of trained personnel to implement security protocols, cyber threats such as hacking or malware, outdated or malfunctioning security equipment, and theft/vandalism of physical resources. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended, among other things, that university libraries in south-east Nigeria require greater financial support to purchase modern security equipment, maintain their infrastructure and train their security personnel.

Abstract

This study investigated predictors of undergraduates’ enrolment decisions and perceptions of Library and Information Science (LIS) in federal universities in southern Nigeria, using the Social Cognitive Career Theory as its theoretical framework. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The population of the study included 2,723 LIS undergraduates in nine federal universities, out of which 408 students were chosen using the stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire. 408 copies of the questionnaires were distributed to the respondents, and 321 responded, which were subject to data analysis with descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS version 23. The results showed that the most effective motivational factors to study LIS were job opportunities and personal interest, which showed a transition towards career driven and intrinsic motivation. Students in general expressed positive views about LIS, especially as it was considered relevant to the national development, contribution to the information economy and intellectual challenge. Although gender did not play a significant role in the decision by students to study LIS, it played a major role in how the students perceived the programme. The study concludes that enrolment in LIS is influenced by perceived career opportunities and positive expectations of outcomes, which has implications for curriculum, career advice, and gender specific academic support. The researcher recommended LIS programmes should actively promote the wide range of career opportunities in the field and early guidance, strengthen ICT focused and practice oriented curricula, and adopt gender sensitive teaching and mentoring approaches to support informed enrolment and positive student perceptions.
