B.The University of Ibadan Library had experienced persistent short age of periodicals books and other techicaliterature. This is the same experience that libraries all over Nigeria is currently undergoing. The introduction of CD-ROM in this libraries has being a relief to this problem. There is an increased awareness and improved patronage of this technology among different categories of researchers including students in the library over the years. Though level of Computer literacy of users is still very low nevertheless CD-ROM has provided more access to Information and retrieval. This is however in the face of some constraints such as inadequate infractures, unreliable but pertinent electricity supply etc. Solution to these constraints are suggested.Item Effect of cd-rom on information accessibility and retrieval at University of Ibadan library(1999) Akande, S.

O.; Akande, S. O.This Study is conducted under a survey design. It attempts to identify the information needs and seeking behaviour of chemists in Universities of Ibadan and llorin. Descriptive research case study method was used to carry out the study. Data were collected by questionnaire administered to lecturers who were eligible to fill it in the departments of chemistry, biochemistry, geology, and pharmacy, or universities of Ibadan and llorin. In the two universities, the departmental lists of staff observed in the various departments concerned revealed that only 60 lecturers were qualified to be used in the research work. Out of the 60 questionnaires self-administered, 48 were well filed and returned. This represents 80% of the questionnaire given out. The findings of the research work showed that chemists need current research information. They prefer documented sources of information to non-documented sources. They were library literate making an extensive use of bibliographic tools in search of information. Chemists were not satisfied with the library resources and Services. Suggestions were made on how chemists can get the information they need on their own without solely depending on the library and the staff which they considered inefficient.Item Evaluation of school library resources, services and usage: a case study of international school, University of Ibadan(Nigerian School Library Association, 2001) Akande, S. O.The paper evaluates the library resources, services and usage in the International School, University of Ibadan. Data for the study was collected by means of questionnaires administered to students, staff and the librarian of the school.

The study revealed that the International school, University of Ibadan, did not have enough resources to meet the Standards recommended in manual for school libraries. The usage of the library war not high enough because of lack of facilities and equipment. The study recommends adequate funding, Provision of prints and non-print materials, equipment, Integration of library hour on the school timetable and use of Computer to process and access Information to improve the services and usage for the library.Item Library - use skills of new undergraduates and library orientation programme at University of Ibadan(2002) Akande, S. O.Survey data were used to investigate the Library - use skills possessed by the new under- graduates of University of Ibadan before they gained admission into the institution. Five hundred copies of the questionnaire were administered to the newly set of students admit- ted for the 2000/2001 academic session. Analysis shows that most students lacked the basic library skills of catalogue use, locating Information by the aid of Classification number, and the use of Computer to acess information. The timing, the duration and the content of the library Orientation Programme are not well planned to make the Programme beneficiary to the students. The paper recommends aggressive instruction on library use that will be practical oriented to help the students acquire the lacked skills. More time should be given to the programme and it should be conducted at a period when most students would have completed their registration.Item Patterns of first-year students use of a university Library: a survey at University of Ibadan(Nigerian Library Association, Lagos State Chapter, 2003-01) Akande, S. O.This paper discusses the mode of use of University of Ibadan Library by first-year students of 2000/2001 academic session. The amount, the nature of use of the library and the barriers between the freshmen and the library are investigated and discussed. The findings reveal that the students heavily use the library to read their own books. The level of borrowing was very low and factors like non- relevance, disorganization of books and lack of basic library use skills were among the major barriers that inhibit the frequent use of the library by the students. Provision of current relevant books, teaching the students’ library use skills through regular lectures and seminars are some recommendations suggested to solve the Problems identified.Item Children reading habits and availability of books in Botswana primary schools: implications for achieving quality education(2007-08) Tella, A.; Akande, S.In an age when browsing the net, playing with funky handsets and passing non-stop SMSs seem to be the order of the day, reading a book in a peaceful comer of a library has become an archaic idea for most people. While technology is slowly taking a steady control over individual lives, the reading habit is fast vanishing into thin air”(The Hindu, 2004:1). The achievement of quality basic education in all countries in Africa call for development of good reading habits of both the children and the adult. This will change the Stigma already associated with Africa as a continent with a “Poor Reading Culture”. This study examined children’s reading habits and the availability of books in Botswana primary schools and considers its implications on the achievement of quality basic education in the country. One hundred and fifty (150) primary school pupils were randomly drawn from ten (10) schools and ten teachers, one from each school were interviewed in two Botswana cities i.e. Gaborone and Francistown. Participants were mainly drawn from Standards 6 and 7. Their ages ranged from 10-13 years with a mean of 11.5 years. A modified questionnaire, “Children Reading Habits/Books Availability Scale” with r = 0.79 cronbach alpha was used to gather data. Six research questions were developed to guide the study, and the results indicate the following: Botswana primary school pupils do not have a good reading habits and have a culture with only 36.7% of them reading on a daily basis; and that of these, most read only textbooks just for the purpose of passing examinations. Those Botswana children (53.3%) read only for 1-2 hours daily; while it was also evident that some even read less than an hour per day. Results further showed that no difference was observed in the perception of Botswana pupils about the availability and accessibility of reading materials in their various schools. Furthermore, it was revealed that the pupils depend largely on the notes given by their teachers as the major source of reading material based on inadequate availability of books. Inadequate book availability, lack of interesting children’s literature, and watching television are identified as factors hindering pupils from developing reading habits. Furnishing primary schools libraries in the country with recent books, getting parents to develop an interest in reading for their children to emulate coupled with the idea that children’s literature should be made available in all primary schools constitute the major suggestions as measures to overcome the problem so that the achievement of quality basic education in the country would not be a mirage. Recommendations based on the results of the study for parents, teachers, schools, mass media and the government are highlighted.
