Item Social media monitoring by personnel in libraries: listening etiquette and best practices for engaging users(Department of School Library and Media Technology, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2023) Olaojo, P. O.; Oyeboade, J. A.; Salvador, Y. M.Social media has the ability to build social Capital, facilitate knowledge sharing, and be used for internal and external communication by institutions and organizations. Many libraries around the world, on the other hand, appear to sign up for and make their presence known on various social media platforms without actively using them. Perhaps there isn’t enough manpower to keep track of how libraries use social media to give Services to their patrons. Asa result, this study discussed concerns related to social media surveillance by library workers as well as effective practices for interacting and listening to users. The paper was written using a literature- based methodology. Textbooks, scholarly publications, media, and Internet sources were used to compile the literature review, which encompassed the years 2007 to 2017. Before valid decisions for inferences were made, issues and themes were thoroughly compared. Best practices for engaging library users on social media; Social media monitoring plan for library Professionals; Building some early social media successes; Measuring the efficiency of social media strategies; The lead generation funnel; Best practices for engaging library users on social media; and Listening etiquette for engaging library users on social media were all reviewed thoroughly. Facebook, Linkedln, MySpace, Academia.com, GoodRead.com, Classmates.Com, LibraryThing, YouTube, Instagram, Podcast, Pinterest, Flicker, Tumblr, and other social media platforms were deemed useful for effective, dependable, and satisfactory Information and Service delivery to users. Consequently, library marketing strategies should be improved to ensure that patrons of individual libraries are adequately informed about web-based Information resources and Services available, as well as where such resources and services could be offered to them on Internet-related platforms, particularly social media. Library management should also provide regular training and workshops for library staff and users in Order to improve their ICT literacy.Item A study of the Yoruba language newspapers in the Colonial era(Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) Akangbe, C.

Nigeria., 2022-05) Igudia, O. E.; Akangbe, C. A.It is a known fact that book piracy has affected the Nigerian book Publishing industry negatively. The opinion of book publishers on the menace of book piracy in the Nigerian Publishing industry needs investigation, which is the interest of this study. Descriptive research design was adopted for the study of svc Publishing houses in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The purposive sampling technique was employed to select 80 staff from the Publishing houses under investigation. Collected data were analysed using simple percentages. The findings revealed that the cost of Publishing in Nigeria is high, which made the prices of books unaffordable to the buyers, thereby creating a vacuum for piracy to thrive. The menace of book piracy has adversely affected the financial gains of both authors and publishers. Book piracy has also caused moral harms to both authors and publishers thereby discouraging upcoming writers from developing new manuscripts. It was therefore recommended that piracy should be fought through collaborative efforts of all the actors in the book industry and the government at all levels. Furthermore, the government should ensure that the aspect of the laws on intellectual property protection is enforced. Also, the public should be sensitised through the media and other awareness campaigns on the harmful effects of piracy as well as against patronising piratesItem The act and art of editing: exploration of the functions and responsibilities of book editors in the electronic age(2023) Igudia, O. E.; Akangbe, C. A.In this present ICT-driven information age, the traditional roles of editors in the book publishing process are threatened, as software is being developed to perform editorial functions. Experience has shown, however, that ICT can help in improving human experience in all spheres of life. For editors to remain relevant, there is the need for conscious effort by publishers and editors to upgrade their knowledge in the application of ICT in the editorial practices. This paper examines the chances of survival of book editors in the face of a fast changing environment. The paper concludes that the publishing option in the electronic age does not exclude editorial functions but redefines the new roles of editors in the publishing process. Therefore, editorial roles need a redefinition in the present dispensation and editors and publishers, especially in the developing nations such as Nigeria need to move with the changing time. This is done by committing more resources into training and development, to enable editorial staff to be relevant in the present dispensation. Therefore, the job of the editor remains, only if, editors upgrade themselves in the act and art of editing to make them relevant in this changing time.Item Youths quality of life in Nigerian state: link with resilience, locus of control and perceived social supports?(2022) Ofole, N. M.Cross sectional research design was adopted to examine the relationship between three independent factors (resilience, internal locus of control, perceived social supports) and quality of life. A sample size of four hundred (400) youths between ages 18-30 years (Male=240; Female=160) were selected using a combination of simple random sampling and purposive technique from a population of out-of school youths in Anambra State, Nigeria. Four standardized scales were used for data collection. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that resilience (r= 0. 146**p<.05), internal locus of control (r= 0.165** p<.05) and social support (r= 0. 658** p<.05) positively correlated with quality of life respectively. There was significant joint contribution of the independent variables to the prediction of quality of life among the respondents F (5,395) = 102.299, P<0.001). The independent variables (resilience, internal locus of control and perceived social supports) when combined accounted for 50.2% (Adj.R2= .502) of the variance in quality of life among out-of school youths in Anambra State. Resilience was the most potent predictor of quality of life among the variables considered in this study (β =.591, t =10.153, P<0.001). Counselling psychologists should institute resilience-focused therapy to build the practical skills of youths to become capable of handling their everyday challenges in order to have an improved quality of life.Item Social loafing among learner support staff for open and distance education programmes in south-western Nigeria: the imperative for counselling intervention(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Ofole, N. M.A descriptive survey design was adopted to investigate the relationship that exists amongst locus of control, work engagement, organizational reward system, job satisfaction and social loafing among the staff of distance learning programme in South-western Nigeria. Four hundred and forty-seven (males = 184; females = 263) learners support staff with an age range of 22 to 55 years were randomly drawn from open and distance learning universities located in South-western Nigeria. They responded to five standardised self report questionnaires. The results show that the majority (67.6%) of the respondents reported different forms of social loafing. There was a significant gender difference in the social loafing behaviour scores of male and female [t (445) = 0.773, p < 0.01]. Male respondents reported more social loafing behaviour (x? = 40.95) than their female counterparts (x = 25.48). There was a positive relationship between locus of control and social loafing though not significant. The relationship among job satisfaction, work engagements as well as reward system and social loafing were inverse. It concluded that personal and organisational factors predispose workers to social loafing. It is recommended that ODL management should also put in place better systems of reward practice and recognition. Counselling intervention is also required to reorient learner support staff who are loafers at OD institutions.Item What drives youths to vote?: an analysis of politico-behavioural constructs in Southwestern Nigeria(2025)Purpose: This study aims at investigating how partisan alignment, geopolitical affiliation, issue-based orientation, monetary inducement, and behavioural persuasion influence voting behaviour among Nigerian youth aged 18–35 in a transitional democracy context. Methodology/approach: A descriptive survey design of correlational type was adopted, using a validated structured questionnaire (six sections; reliability range r = 0.85–0.91). A stratified sample of 1,500 registered youth voters was drawn across Ondo, Oyo, and Osun States. Data were analysed with SPSS version 25 using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression at a 0.05 significance level. Results/findings: Positive significant relationships were found with partisan alignment (r = .206), geopolitical affiliation (r = .253), and behavioural persuasion (r = –.128). The composite model was significant (Adj. R² = .110). Only partisan alignment (β = .187), geopolitical affiliation (β = .256), and behavioural persuasion (β = –.081) were significant predictors. Conclusion: Youth voting behaviour in Southwestern Nigeria is shaped predominantly by partisan alignment, geopolitical affiliation, and behavioural persuasion, with issue-based orientation and monetary inducement showing no significant direct effect. These findings highlight the enduring influence of identity and persuasion in transitional democracies, despite growing discourse on issue-based politics. Limitations: The study was limited to Southwestern Nigeria and relied solely on quantitative self-reported data. Contribution: Findings are useful for political science, youth studies, electoral education, and governance policy, offering insights for strategies to enhance democratic participation and electoral integrity in transitional democracies.
