Abstract

Introduction. This paper investigated the effects of slow internet on academic library staff productivity and job satisfaction of academic library staff using the University of Ibadan library as a case in focus. Data Collection Methods. The study employed a qualitative research method, guided by a phenomenological research paradigm, using Focus Group discussions for data collection. The responses were presented and discussed objectively. Data Analysis. NVivo software was used for qualitative data analysis to enhance the depth of qualitative research by providing data management technique and facilitate complex analyses, and support robust reporting. Results and Discussion. Findings of the study revealed that slow internet may have serious consequences on library staff, their operations, and productivity including; decreased output, staff dissatisfaction, and hampered user services etcetera. The study recommends that universities and library management invest in faster, more reliable internet, implement hybrid systems to provide alternative resources during technological limitations, ensure librarians are adaptable in managing slow internet challenges, and encourage librarians to maintain a positive mindset to avoid frustration and job dissatisfaction. Conclusion. This research addresses a gap in the literature by examining how internet speed impacts library staff productivity and satisfaction, providing insights for enhancing library services and staff well-being amidst technological challenges.

Abstract

Introduction. This paper investigates the role of micro-credentials and digital badges in reinforcing information literacy and professional development within academic libraries. It assesses the benefits and challenges of these tools in continuous education at the University of Lagos, Nigeria. Research Methods. Using a descriptive survey design, the study involved 406 undergraduate and postgraduate students selected via stratified random sampling from the Faculty of Education. Data Analysis. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage and mean). Hypotheses were tested using T-test and ANOVA at a 0.05 significance level. Results. The results show that overall participation was fairly low, even though respondents generally believed the programme was beneficial for improving employability and supporting lifelong learning. The analysis also found clear differences across age groups: older professionals were more actively involved than younger ones. Perceptions of benefit differed by level of education as well: participants with associate degrees rated the programme as most valuable, while those with doctoral degrees perceived the least benefit. Conclusion. Micro-credentials serve as vital tools for verifiable skill acquisition. However, tailored strategies are necessary to address demographic variations and increase adoption rates for effective professional development.
