The study investigated staff motivation as a determinant of job performance of library staff in selected academic libraries, Kwara state. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised of professional, para-professional and non-professional staff of the three selected academic libraries of 126. A total enumeration sampling technique was applied. A sample size of 126 respondents was used for the study. Questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentages the response rate was 96.8%. The findings of the study revealed that a higher percentage of the respondents agreed that job security and mentoring motivate them to perform their job. Additionally, the findings of the study revealed that library staff members are best motivated when they are given the opportunity to use their ability. Also, on the level of motivation of library staff based on extrinsic motivators, job security is very high. Furthermore, the findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents agreed that improved quality of service to the user, punctuality at work, work efficiency and commitment to job are the major factors that increase level of job among library staff in academic libraries. In, addition, the study also found out that majority of the respondents agreed that library working conditions; poor staff welfare and poor communication structure are the major impediments to the motivation of library staff, but job insecurity does not impede the motivation of library staff. The study recommended that university management should endeavor to eliminate various impediments to library staff motivation.

Abstract

Citation analysis of Library and Information Science undergraduates’ research projects in Kwara State University, Malete (2013-2018). The population of the study consists of all the submitted undergraduates’ projects to the Department of Library and Information Science, Kwara State University, Malete from 2013-2018. From this population, a total of thirty-seven (37) final-year students’ projects of the Department were selected as the sample size of the study using the systematic sampling technique. Coding sheet was used to collect data. The frequency counts and simple percentages were used for the statistical analysis. The findings revealed that more than half of the citations in the projects were journal articles, one-third of the citations were conference papers, few of the citations were recent, there were no citations without author, and the highest number is seventy-seven (77) while the lowest citation in a project is eighteen (18). The following recommendations were made based on the findings. Final year students should be encouraged to consider more recent research for their projects, students should be advised cautioned against low citation as eighteen (18) in a research project, the university library should consider the acquisition and subscription to journals so as to aid the research of the students.
