    Copyright information resource management in Nigeria: and the way forward
    (Science Publishing Group, 2020-12) Okoroma, F. N.
    The enrichment of the national cultural heritage is directly linked to the level of protection given to literary and artistic works. The higher the level of protection, the greater the number of each country’s intellectual output. This calls for an effective copyright information resource management in every nation and organization to optimize access to relevant information on copyright in order to curb the rate of infringement. This paper seeks to address the copyright information resource management in Nigeria, and the way forward. Questionnaire instrument was used for data collection. The last two questions on the questionnaire were open-ended questions, designed to enable the respondents freely express their views and suggestions. The findings identified the benefits of copyright information resource management, both to the authors and the users; include the inhibition of infringement as it delivers quick access to copyright related information in a dynamic and effective way. This is due to the fact that many acts of infringement on copyright are as a result of ignorance on the part of users. The findings further highlighted that copyright information resource management facilitation is dependent on putting the right people in positions of authority, setting up committee in each institution to monitor and establish standards in order to ensure quality assurance in the system, and keeping tracks of publications of each university’s scholar

    The leadership dimension in information and communication technology adoption in African libraries
    (Sage, 2014-02) Oyelude, A. A.; Oladele, B. A.
    The article focuses on leadership challenges in adaptation to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in African libraries. It identifies and discusses the need for adequate leadership styles and behavior in the bid to adapt effectively to new technologies. Online survey, observation arising from personal professional practice experience, personal communication, and interview methods were used to gather data for the study. Older library professionals, many of whom are still very visible across the leadership strata of libraries, were found to exhibit diverse attitude to the adaptation to ICTs deployment and use in their libraries. Some library leaders and older generation professionals were discovered to react somewhat negatively to changes in technology used in their libraries, preventing the younger professionals from performing to full capacity, and generally showing nonchalance to new technologies. Proper training and retraining, mentoring, and harnessing the synergy of ideas, with respectful communication from new generation library professionals, was found to be desirable. Change management workshops and implementation of standard ethics of the profession are recommended, while emphasis is put on the need for library professionals to overcome their technophobia and take leadership in adapting to move the library and information profession forward.

    Management and use of electronic resources in selected Nigerian libraries in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
    (Department of Library and Information Science, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Nigeria, 2013-12) Tomomowo Ayodele, S. O.; Oladapo, Y. O.; Adeoye, M. O.
    This study investigated the management and use of electronic resources in selected Nigerian libraries. Two academic and two research institute libraries were selected for the study. A descriptive survey method was adopted for the study. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaire and interview. While 450 copies of questionnaire were distributed among the respondents, 417 were retrieved and found usable. Frequency counts and simple percentages were used to analyse the data collected to give a response rate of 92.6 %. Some of the major findings of the study revealed that most library users in IITA (86.4%) make use of e-resources more often compared to users in other institutions (Lead City 44.7%>, FR1N 42.4% and U.l. 28.2%). Moreover, availability of e-resources varies across the institutions. In IITA, the e-resources were better organized and readily available to users compared to other institutions that were still restricting users’ access to some e-resources either due to inadequate equipment or unskilled personnel. Recommendations were made to promote effective management and use of e-resources such as proper funding and utilization of funds, training and re-training of both managers and users of e-resources, consideration of users’ suggestions in acquiring e-resources, and collaboration amongst libraries.
