(European Scientifc Institute, 2012-04) Iroaganachi, M. A.
This study assessed technological advancement and identified the effect of musical sound on concentration in individual learning in the library among Covenant University students. This was with a view to providing valuable data for Government, University management and policy makers, instructors and teachers of the use of library and comportment and parents to guide in developing Educational programs, in order to arrest the current problem of educational decadence. The Descriptive survey method was adopted for the study. The simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used in choosing the study population. Three hundred and sixty copies of questionnaire were administered to respondents. Also data were collected through the focus group discussion, oral interview, experiment on comprehension test and existing comparative literature. It was revealed that majority of students who come to the library wearing mini earpieces actually listen to music. Also findings from the study showed that it is extremely difficult to listen to music and concentrate on a learning material simultaneously. Finally, the study revealed that the result of listening to music and learning at same time is a loss of concentration on one of the activities and poor academic performance. Therefore, the study recommends among others that students should learn to engage in one activity per time, in order to maximize the time and effort they put into individual learning which is part of the reason for which they are in school and that government, University management and policy makers should promulgate a law against the use of earpieces in the library and other learning environments while instructors, teachers, librarians and Para- librarians ensure the effective implementation of same thereby, creating veritable learning environments for the world’s future leaders and great minds.

(2019-06) Iroaganachi, M. A.; Fagbohun, M.; Osinulu, I.; Asaolu, A.; Madu, T.
The study assessed values and impacts as precursors for measuring library returns on investment at Covenant University. This was with the aim of determining the extent to which users visit the library, the extent of staff familiarity with library users’ services, the level of impact of the library on the clientele, institution and community as well as preferred means of communication for both students and staff. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of librarians and academic Staff. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 437 academic Staff and 18 professional librarians. Instruments for data collection included questionnaire, institution/library records and reports. The data was analysed using frequencies and percentages while cross tabulation of variables was used for descriptive statistics as well as Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Findings revealed among others that the library is highly patronized and there is a great impact of the library on its users and community. It concluded that Covenant University library users value the services provided by the library as both print and digital resources were heavily used, there was frequent usage of the physical library and online digital resources. The study recommended that the librarians should be more proactive and continuously engage in promoting the use of library resources, maintain relationship with the library users, engage in orientation and re-orientation for faculty, staff and students, appraise and measure library operations often for informed decisions on enhanced service delivery
