Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly influenced the preservation and transformation of traditional games, impacting player behavior and community participation. As digital platforms increasingly replace traditional play environments, concerns arise about the potential decline of cultural heritage while presenting new revitalization opportunities. This study examines digital technology's role in documenting and preserving traditional games, its influence on behavioral changes, and its implications for community engagement. Employing a quantitative research approach, data were collected through a structured online survey involving 500 respondents and analyzed using SmartPLS (PLS-SEM) to determine the relationships among variables. The findings indicate that digital technology positively affects traditional game preservation (β = 0.650, p = 0.000), behavioral changes (β = 0.773, p = 0.000), and community participation (β = 0.820, p = 0.000). Additionally, behavioral changes mediate the impact of digital technology on community engagement (β = 0.521, p = 0.000), while the preservation of traditional games also contributes to increasing participation (β = 0.164, p = 0.009). These results highlight that while digitalization facilitates traditional games' sustainability, it alters social interactions and generational knowledge transfer. The study suggests that future digital adaptations should balance technological innovations with cultural authenticity to maintain the essence of traditional games. Further research is recommended to explore long-term cultural implications and strategies to effectively integrate digital and traditional gaming practices.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores how libraries support data management in interdisciplinary research, particularly the challenges that researchers face and the role libraries play in providing effective data management solutions. The study’s objectives were to identify the challenges interdisciplinary researchers encounter in managing data and to examine how libraries provide support for these data management needs. Design: A descriptive research design was employed to capture perspectives from faculty members engaged in interdisciplinary research at universities in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The study targeted a population of senior academic staff, with a sample size of 200 faculty members. A convenient sampling approach selected Akwa Ibom State University and the Federal University of Technology, Ikot Abasi, as study sites. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations, were used for data analysis. Findings: The findings indicate that interdisciplinary researchers face several challenges in data management, including data heterogeneity, communication barriers, variations in research methodologies, differences in terminologies, and ethical considerations. Additionally, the study reveals that libraries support data management through data management planning, data literacy training, data repository development, and guidance on best practices. However, limited resources and infrastructure sometimes constrain libraries’ effectiveness in these roles. The study emphasizes the essential role of libraries in providing RDM support but highlights the need for increased funding, resources, and training to maximize their impact on interdisciplinary research. Originality: The paper is one of the first to investigate the library and data management support for interdisciplinary research among faculty members in Nigeria. The study recommends that universities enhance data management training programs and that institutional stakeholders allocate more resources to libraries for improved RDM infrastructure and services.
