Item Searchers’ perception of access regulations in Nigerian national archives(2009-03) Abioye, A.Item Fifty years of archives administration in Nigeria: lessons for the future(Emerald Publishing, 2007) Abioye, A.Purpose - In commemoration of the 50 years of archives administration in Nigeria, the purpose of this paper is to look at the establishment of the National Archives of Nigeria, its expansion and development over the years and its role in coordinating records management in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is based on published literature and documentary evidence from records. Findings - The paper discusses the gains of the past, particularly the high hopes of the 1970s and the expansion and consolidation of the 1980s which rolled into the early 1990s. Notes the decadence of the 1990s and highlights the problems that bedevilled the institutions and archives and records management in the country among which are poor funding, lack of appreciation of the importance of archives, obsolete equipment and high staff turn over.Item Evaluation of deterioration of library materials at Olabisi Onabanjo university library, Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria(2005-10) Bankole, O. M.; Abioye, A.The nature and extent of deterioration of four categories of library materials (newsprints, textbooks, dissertations and journals) at Olabisi Onabanjo University Library, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria was investigated. The pH, fold endurance and the extent of mutilation were determined, while the microorganisms associated with decomposing library materials were isolated and identified. The library materials with acidic papers constituted 69.0% for textbooks, 52.2% for journals, 73.2% for dissertations and 85.3% for newspapers. About 93% of textbooks, 98% of journals and 89% of dissertations did not break up to six folds. The percentage of mutilated books was 11.9% for textbooks, 5.7% for journals and 10.4% for dissertations. The microorganisms associated with deteriorating library materials were Bacillus sp., Streptococcus sp. Staphylococcus sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Flavobacterhcm sp. for bacteria, while the moulds included Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Penicillium sp., Cladosporium sp., Neurospora sp, Penicillium sp and Rhizopus sp. The ability of these microorganisms to degrade (utilise) native cellulose (filter papers) was investigated so as to be able to know whether these organisms could actually deteriorate papers. All the moulds except Neurospora sp. effectively utilised filter papers than the two bacterial species Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. that also degraded filter papers. A. niger and A. flavus most utilised the filter papers for growth among the moulds. Apart from the deteriorative effect, the health implications of the presence of microorganisms particularly the moulds on library materials to library users are discussed.Item Evaluation of deterioration of library materials at Olabisi Onabanjo university library, Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria(2005-10) Bankole, O.

It examined the facilities available, use, constraints and prospects. The research instruments adopted for data collection were interview and observation. The results showed that there is high level of awareness of the importance of IT. The technology is used mainly for record creation and distribution. Constraints include poor funding and lack of well-trained staff in the use of IT for records management. The study concluded and made necessary recommendations for the improved use of IT for court record management in the Supreme Court of Nigeria.Item Back to the drawing board: the role of information service manager redefined(Nigerian Library Association, 2004) Abioye, A.This paper examines and redefines the role of information service manager in the light of the new information communication technologies (ICT). It takes a look at the growth of information service and the place of information service manager in the information environment of the 21st century. It discusses the emergence of knowledge management and the consequent challenges of knowledge transfer. It concludes by advising the information service manager to chart a new course suitable to meeting the information needs of the 21st century.Item Records management in aid of social transformation in Nigeria(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2007) Abioye, A.Records constitute a vital tool for decision-making. Availability of the right information to the right person at the right time guarantees a well-informed decision which can impact positively on society. Besides, records constitute the enduring memory of a nation, as they document the activities of its people and institutions. The knowledge of such activities is crucial to planning and development. Unless records are properly managed, access will be difficult if not impossible. This paper, therefore, discusses the basic process of records management and highlights its benefits in ensuring access to valuable information that is required for social transformation.Item Perception and use of the internet by adolescents in Ibadan, Nigeria(Royal People (Nigeria) Ltd., Ibadan, 2004) Abioye, A.The study focused on the perception and use of the Internet by the adolescents in Ibadan, Nigeria.
