Nollywood movies watching pattern and risky sexual behaviour among in-school adolescents in selected South-Western Nigeria secondary schools
(Department of Library, Archival and Information Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2020-12) Alonge, A. J.
Nollywood movies are being released at exponential rates. With an average of 50 movies being released on a weekly basis. Observations have revealed that a number of the films produced, and which are accessible to in-school adolescents promotes risky sexual behaviour. In-school adolescents are in their formative years and access to these types of films can affect their sexual behaviour. This study surveyed the Nollywood movies watching pattern and risky sexual behaviour among in-school adolescents. A correlational survey was carried out using the quantitative method. A total of 644 students were sampled using the probability proportionate to size sampling technique while a pre-tested questionnaire with reliability coefficient of 0.75 (r = 0.75) was used as data gathering instrument. Data were analysed using the descriptive method of frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation for objectives 1 and 2 while Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used for objective 3. Result showed that majority of the in-school adolescents surveyed have access to Nollywood movies with sexual content (60.0%), though their parents censors the movies (63.8%). Correlation was found between Nollywood watching pattern and risky sexual behaviour among in-school adolescents in selected south-western Nigeria secondary schools (r = .266**, N= 644, p<.05). The study therefore, recommended that parents should continue to censor movies watched by their wards.

Information literacy skills and attitude towards plagiarism by students of three theological institutions in South-west, Nigeria
(University Libraries of the University of Nebraska--Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, 2020-08) Oladejo, O; Alonge, A. J.; Oyewole, O.
Attitude towards plagiarism of students of theological institutions is considered important as they are expected to be upholders of moral and spiritual values. However, some studies reveal that students of theological institutions have a positive attitude towards plagiarism. This could be a function of their level of information literacy skills. Thus, the main objective of this study is to examine the influence of information literacy skills on the attitude towards plagiarism by students in three theological institutions in South-west, Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design of the correlational type was adopted for this study. The population consisted of 1472 undergraduate and postgraduate students in three theological institutions in South-west, Nigeria. The two-stage random sampling technique was used to arrive at the sample size of 355. Data was collected with the aid of questionnaire. Results showed that the level of information literacy skills of the respondents is also high (overall mean=85.97). Majority of the respondents (𝑥̅=1.41) and (𝑥̅=1.48) also disagreed that it is acceptable to copy word for word from a book or journal without acknowledgement, and that is acceptable to copy from the Internet without citing the source. Also, exactly four-fifths of the respondents (𝑥̅=1.87) agreed that plagiarism is against their ethical values. This depicts a negative attitude towards plagiarism. There is a significant negative relationship between literacy skills and the attitude towards plagiarism by the students (r = -.156**; df = 299; p< 0.05). Part of the recommendations was that the high level of information literacy skills can be strengthened if librarians in collaboration with lecturers continually organise workshops and lectures to build the capacity of the students of theological institutions in information literacy
Associations between nollywood movies and risky sexual behaviours among in-school youths in Nigeria: an ongoing study
(2020) Alonge, A. J.; Asubiaro, T.
Nollywood, the second largest movie industry in the world after America’s Hollywood, is Nigeria’s movie industry. This ongoing study investigates how sexual messages and scenes are communicated to viewers and if there is correlation between the pattern of Nollywood movies exposure and sexual behaviour of in-school adolescents in the southwestern part of Nigeria. Data will be collected from the participants through questionnaire while content of popular Nollywood movies among the participants will be content analyzed. It is expected that this study will provide information about the frequency of sexual scenes and how risky sexual behaviours are portrayed in Nollywood movies. Secondly, it is expected that this study will show the types of relationships that exist between movie exposure behaviour and sexual behaviour in the study population.
Library markers space in academic and public library
(IGI Global, 2020) Alonge, A. J.
This study examines the Library Markers Space in Academic and Public libraries. These spaces are specifically designed, aimed at meeting the unexpressed needs of library users and to influence them to profitably engage in the library by creating physical or digital objects, which are open for the free use of all library users. Library’ makerspace enables Graphic arts, web design and animation and assists students in their projects that involve digital images. Nevertheless, factors such as lack of technical skills, inadequate power supply and lack of trained manpower distort the application of Library Markers Space in academic and public libraries
