Item A survey of users' perception and use of ICT resources in Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan, Nigeria(2008-06) Oseghale, O.This study examined the perception and use of ICT resources in Kenneth Dike library by postgraduate students of the university of Ibadan .The survey research design was adopted and 208 postgraduate students participated in the study. 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 A study on the usage of the Africana collection at the Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan, Nigeria(African Educational Research Network, 2012-12) Adeyemi, B. M.This study examined the usage of Africana collection in Kenneth Dike Library of University of Ibadan. The collection is unique for its Africana content due to the responsibilities bestowed on it by the Nigerian legal deposit statutes. The research design adopted for this study was ex-post-facto study. The records of consultation kept in the Reference section of Kenneth Dike Library from 2009 to 2011 and statistics taken when there was relative stability in the academic calendar served as data. A qualitative analysis of data using frequencies and percentages was used to examine the usage of Africana collection and it showed that postgraduate students constitute the major users of the collection while library staff members are the least user-group. Theses and dissertations are the main resources consulted by all categories of users. The challenges faced in developing the collection include: lack of preservation policy, inadequate funding, shortage of staff, lack of space and harsh environmental conditions.
