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 Computer experiences, self-efficacy and attitude towards computer use: a study among distance teaching students, university of Ibadan, Nigeria.(Pan African Book Company in association with Minkah-Premo, Accra, Ghana, 2009) Akande, S. O.This study investigated Computer experience, Computer self-efficacy and attitude of Distance Learning students toward Computer use in University of Ibadan, Nigeria. 250 part-time students in the Department of Library, Archival and Information Studies (LARIS), Faculty of Education, were randomly sampled to take part in the study. Questionnaire was used to elicit information on the three research variables. The findings revealed that the Computer experience of the undergraduates correlate positively with their attitude towards the use of computer(r=0.35;p<0.01).It was also revealed that a positive relationship exists between Computer self-efficacy and attitude of students toward the use of computer(r=0.39;p<0.01).The two Computer - related variables were also found to have significant composite effect on attitude of the part-time students toward the use of Computer(R=0.509;p<0.01). The study recommends the integration of Computer courses into the curriculum at all levels of education (primary, secondary and tertiary). It also recommends provision of Computer laboratories equipped with internet facilities in the library and the faculties for students’ use.
