    Improving Services in a hybrid academic library System
    (2021) Oyelude, A. A.; Ola, C. O.; Adeniran, E. A.
    The mixture of traditional or manual ways of carrying out library operations with new, modern, automated systems often brings about several problems. The problems are ones that can be tackled within the framework of having appropriate systems dynamics routines applied and also making use of personnel skilled in strategic management of hybrid library systems. The paper describes a hybrid academic library system and draws up a model of this system suggesting strategies and scenarios for achieving optimum performance of the system in a technology changing world. A system dynamics model for the management of the system is developed around the issues of personnel management, collection management, capacity building, and provision of access to research materials, Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, forming of Consortia, and Security in the system. Recommendations are made as to which strategy/ scenario or combinations of scenarios will provide lasting solutions to the problems recurring or likely to reoccur in a hybrid academic library system.

    Indigenous knowledge: examining its past and present status, and projecting its future in library and information services
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2006) Oyelude, A. A.; Adewumi, C. O. B.
    Indigenous knowledge systems is a growing area of research in the information age. Over six million, one hundred and sixty thousand records exist on the subject. In spite of this, Indigenous Knowledge(IK) is still far from being preserved for posterity. The paper examines the history of IKS, treats classification of IKS in library classification schemes and projects the future of IKS. The efforts at indigenous knowledge gathering in the University of Ibadan, at the Department of Library , Archival and Information Studies and the Institutes of African Studies are reported. Recommendations are that information professionals should evolve systems for organizing oral information, policies should be made to encourage the recording, documentation of IK, and national, regional and if possible, global networks can be created to facilitate this.
