    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2006) Igbeka, J. U.; Popoola, S. O
    This paper investigated computer training and professional library activities in Nigeria. Stratified quota sampliing technique coupled with questionnaire method was used for data collection. There were 260 subject from the libraries in the south-west Nigeria out of which 245 responded and 213 copies of their questionnaire were used for analysis. The reliability coefficient of the questionnaire used for data collection was α=0.82 using test-retest method. The study found that there was no significant correlation between the length of computer training and improved professional library activities of subjects(r=0.14,P>0.05); there was no significant difference between the ages (years) of the subjects with respect to thier improved professional library activities (F=0.044,P> 0.05); there was no significant difference between the computer training recieved on improved professional library activities of the subjects based on thier place of work. (F=2.209, P>0.05); but there was a significant relationship between the educational qualifications, computer training and improved professional library activities of subject R=0.28507, P< 0.05). Suggestions were offered on how to make computer training improve professional activities of the library personnel.

    Information use and productivity of agricultural engineers in Nigeria
    (Educational planning unit, department of educational management, university of Ibadan, 2000-12) Igbeka, J. U.
    The study sought to determine the sources and types of information used by agricultural engineers in Nigeria and the extent to which the information usuage of agric enginneers determines their productivity level. The study made use of 261 agricultural engineers who were selected by stratified random sampling techniques according to their different places of work. Data was collected through the use of questionnaire tagged Information Utilization Scale (IUS). The data was analyzed using percentages and simple correlation statistics. The results shows that a large percentage of the respondents utilize agricultural engineering textbooks and manuals (67.8%), journal publications (66.7%), and conference/workshop papers (66.7%) to great extent. However, the result established that 67% of the respondents do not use information about laws and states, adminstrative rules and executive order. Moreover, the result shows that on the average the repondents altogether produced one published research paper, two conference paper, one extensive pamphlet, two research designs, one prototype and two- fabricated equipment per year.
