Data collected were analyzed using SPSS and results revealed that the use of ICT facilities to support learning and research in Kenneth Dike Library by postgraduate students is low, irregular and ineffective as majority of users lack adequate ICT awareness training and support to use ICT facilities available in the library. The study suggested that it is essential that active steps be taken to ensure that those who can most benefit from higher education are not further marginalized as majority of the users cannot access, use and receive support for ICT enabled learning in the university. The study recommended that Nigerian academic libraries should operate the manual system alongside the computerized system in order not to sideline the majority of staff and students who cannot access the computer until conversion is completed and fully appreciated by all library users.Item Accessibility and retrieval of national information in Nigerian university libraries(African Educational Research Network, 2011-06) Ola, C. O.; Oseghale, O.This paper sets out to examine the accessibility, retrieval and use of Publications Ordinance (PO) materials in Nigerian university libraries using Kenneth Dike Library (KDL) as a case study. The survey research design was adopted and a structured questionnaire was distributed to 400 users comprising students, staff and external users. The records of the use of PO materials between October 2009 and September 2010 were also perused. Result shows that majority of users are aware of the availability and importance of legal deposits collection in the library but have difficulty in retrieving the materials due to inability to have direct physical contact with the materials. The study therefore proffers that Nigerian university libraries should, as a matter of urgency, organize PO collections and adopt a harmonized library management system in order to enhance users’ access and retrieval of the materials.Item The importance of libraries in enhancing qualitative education in Nigeria(Institute of Education, University of Ibadan on behalf of participating West Africa Universities and Ministries of Education, 2012) Emeahara, E. N.; Oseghale, O.; Fagbola, O. O.This paper gave an insightful discourse on the importance of libraries from a general point of view and discusses the various kinds of libraries. It highlighted the qualities of libraries and how they affect the quality of education at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels. It also discussed the reading culture as it affects libraries and quality education at all levels. Quality library personnel and library organization with respect to quality education are among issues raised and addressed in the paper. The paper further discusses new trends in library operations, such as virtual libraries and their implications in ensuring quality education in the information age. It recommended the establishment of standard libraries and suggested ways in which education policy makers and other stakeholders in the educational sector could foster quality education through libraries.Item Emergence of the global knowledge economy: implications for libraries and lifelong learning in Nigeria(African Educational Research Network, 2011-12) Oseghale, O.; Adeyomoye, J. I.Lifelong learning has been described as education for the knowledge economy. But indicators from international assessments suggest that some developing countries risk being marginalized in the competitive global knowledge economy because their education and training systems are described inadequate to equip learners with the skills they need for active participation. Coverage is insufficient, access is inequitable (especially in tertiary [higher] education and in employee and adult training), as education facilities are grossly inadequate and the quality of education is low. Private intervention in education has not helped matters as rote learning, exam-driven schooling, and the soaring cost of private education have long been policy concerns in most developing countries. Thus the goal of education for all has revoltingly remained elusive in many low-income countries. This paper examines the challenges that knowledge economy has posed to lifelong learning and training systems in Nigeria. It considers the implications of the knowledge economy on lifelong learning and outlines the key competencies needed for citizens to participate effectively in the knowledge economy. The paper stresses the need to strengthen public libraries in order to encourage lifelong learning in Nigeria where formal education systems are almost unaffordable and grossly inadequate. It summarizes policy options for developing viable option of lifelong learning using public libraries.Item The effects of library education on information seeking behaviour of first-year students at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria(Nigerian Library Association, Kwara State Chapter, Ilorin, 2016) Oseghale, O.; Ilesanmi, T. C.This study was carried out to investigate barriers encountered by fresh students in seeking information and the extent to which library user education can help in improving their information seeking behaviour at the University of Ibadan. The actual utilization of resources in the library remains inconsistent, low and unsatisfactory. Considering that low utilization of library resources undermines the huge investment on library resources and personnel retention, this study has examined the barriers encounter by students in information seeking and the extent to which library orientation can help in improving information seeking behaviour of first year undergraduate students at the University of Ibadan. Survey research design was adopted for the study. Using a systematic sampling technique, a total of 230 first year students drawn from six faculties participated in the study. Results show that majority of first year students participated in use education in KDL but encounter information seeking challenges in the library. Because of poor perception of the library which makes them doubt the ability of the library to meet their information needs. The study suggests that effective utilization of academic library resources is dependent on perceived availability of relevant information materials, proper understanding of the products and services offered by the library and user’s ability to utilize information retrieval tools and systems. The study therefore recommends a holistic approach to library orientation in colleges and universities in order to promote student’s library utilization and build up their information seeking capacity.
