Abstract

This study examined the relationship between generative AI usage and information literacy skills among university students in North-West Nigeria. The research investigated awareness levels, evaluation practices, ethical considerations, and barriers affecting the integration of AI-powered tools in academic contexts. Employing a quantitative research design, the study surveyed 385 undergraduate students from federal, state, and private universities using the Generative AI and Information Literacy Impact Questionnaire (GAIL-IQ). Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, and frequencies through SPSS version 26. The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy (2016) provided the theoretical foundation, emphasizing threshold concepts in information understanding. Findings revealed moderate awareness levels (M=3.42, SD=0.89) of AI-powered tools among students, with significant variations across institutional types. Students demonstrated limited capacity in evaluating AI-generated content credibility (M=2.78, SD=0.94), raising concerns about information accuracy assessment. Ethical practices regarding attribution and academic integrity showed moderate adherence (M=3.15, SD=1.02), though infrastructural constraints and inadequate training emerged as primary barriers (M=3.68, SD=0.87). The study concluded that while students increasingly engage with AI-powered tools, critical evaluation competencies and ethical awareness require substantial improvement. The study recommends that Universities in North-West Nigeria should integrate comprehensive information literacy training programs specifically addressing AI-powered content evaluation, ethical usage frameworks, and attribution practices into undergraduate curricula to enhance academic integrity and critical thinking capabilities.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of information technologies is ushering in a new era for academic libraries, characterized by the simultaneous emergence of quantum computing and blockchain technology. This research investigated how these innovations could transform information management practices in Nigerian higher education libraries. The study adopts a quantitative methodology, surveying 242 librarians, computer scientists, librarians, computing specialists, and information technology officers working in university libraries to assess readiness and perception. Conversely, block chain technology offers a decentralized, immutable framework for secure digital rights management, verified academic credentials, and transparent collection development. Findings show moderate support for quantum computing in data encryption (mean=3.36, SD=1.05), but stronger endorsement for Blockchain in collection transparency (mean=3.73, SD=0.98) and bibliographic management (mean=3.74, SD=0.91). Challenges dominate, with high agreement on costs (mean=4.40, SD=0.80), skills gaps (mean=4.32, SD=0.79), and power issues (mean=4.43, SD=0.85). The paper concludes that for Nigerian libraries to remain relevant and secure, they must transition towards post-quantum cryptography while leveraging block chain for data integrity Based on these findings, the study recommends immediate formation of a national consortium among Nigerian tertiary libraries to pool resources for pilot projects in block chain-based archiving and to develop a roadmap for quantum-resistant security upgrades and the need for library administrators to prioritize building partnerships with technology departments, seek external funding for infrastructure upgrades, and develop comprehensive training programs to equip staff with necessary technical competencies for managing next-generation security systems.
