(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2017) Otulugbu, D.
The internet has helped in the amassing of a large amount of information for consumption in varied fields of endeavor. This has brought about increasing ease in the search for and use of information in academic, social, political and other spheres of life. However, despite the increasing simplicity in the accessing of information, there are indications that some students do not fully utilize information sources. Thus, this study investigates the awareness and use of online information sources among university of Ibadan undergraduate students. Copies of questionnaires were administered on 300 students on purposive sampling basis. Findings show that 97.9% of the students were generally aware of online information sources but very few of the students were aware of the individual online sources that are made available in the university. In addition, very few of the students were satisfied with the available online information sources. This study suggests that university libraries should effectively create awareness about the various online resources that available for students’ usage. The findings of this study will be useful to academic institutions in the same terrain like the University of Ibadan. Also, librarians and academic scholars will find this study useful in the effective creation of awareness of online information sources among university students.
Use of digital signage in academic libraries in Nigeria
(2013-06) Fabunmi, B. A.
The application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in libraries has been expanding all over the world. All the functions and services that academic librarians used to provide manually are now being provided through the use of ICTs which can do things better and faster. Most modern day libraries are interested in the various infrastructure networks that serve as major channels for the transmission of information. ICTs include a variety of rapidly evolving technologies such as telephony, cable, satellite, television and radio, video conferencing, computers, information networks, and software applications. However, most of the libraries have not explored the use of digital signage for the dissemination of information to their patrons. As computer technology continues to evolve and the demand for hard copy materials reduces, the desire to visit academic library is on the decline. In order to make library more relevant in this era of ICT, digital signage, which is one of the telecommunication technologies can be used as a channel to provide information that will attract lecturers, students, researchers, and the academic community to the library. This paper highlighted the benefits that can be derived from the use of digital signage in improving the provision of library and information resources and services and also the challenges . It also advocated that digital signage should be introduced to the academic libraries , because of the benefits that can be derived from its usage.
