Export PDFKnowledge and use of MOOCs for teaching by library and information science educators in higher educational institutions in Nigeria
By Olatokun, Wole Michael
This study investigates the knowledge and use of MOOCs for teaching among Library and Information Science educators in Nigerian Higher Educational Institutions. A cross-sectional survey of 85 LIS educators across Nigerian universities was conducted. The findings reveal a moderate level of conceptual familiarity with MOOCs but limited applied knowledge of pedagogical integration. While institutional support and student usage of MOOCs are present, direct incorporation into instructor-led curricula is lacking. The results reveal a mix of perceived barriers, with a lack of awareness about available MOOCs and insufficient institutional support emerging as the closest to moderate concerns. However, factors like content quality issues, increased workload demands, costs, and doubts about student motivation did not appear to be major impediments. The results highlight the need for comprehensive professional development, locally relevant MOOC content development, institutional policies incentivizing MOOC adoption, and further research on student outcomes. This study contributes insights into the current MOOC landscape within Nigerian LIS education and provides recommendations for stakeholders to facilitate more effective integration of these online learning platforms. © The Author(s) 2024.

Pathways to financial Literacy: Exploring behaviors, information sources, and library usage hindrances among off-campus university student
By Adetayo, Adebowale Jeremy
Background of the study: This study explores financial behaviors and information sources among off-campus university students, emphasizing challenges in using library materials for financial literacy. Purpose: The research aims to comprehensively understand the financial landscape of off-campus university students, identifying key behaviors, information sources, and obstacles related to financial literacy. Method: A cross-sectional survey involving 245 off-campus university students was conducted to gather pertinent data. A self-administered questionnaire served as the primary data collection tool. The collected data underwent analysis using descriptive statistics to draw meaningful insights. Findings: Off-campus university students' major expenses included school-related costs and food. Common financial behaviors included living within means, avoiding borrowing, and budgeting. Despite these practices, many students expressed financial dissatisfaction. Family members were the primary information source, followed by friends, Google, and online books. Libraries were not a significant source. Limited time emerged as the main hindrance to using library materials for financial literacy. Conclusion: In conclusion, off-campus university students, constrained by limited time, face challenges accessing library resources for financial literacy, necessitating targeted programs to address their unique needs and providing valuable insights for institutions and policymakers. © 2023, Airlangga University Faculty of Vocational Studies.

Virtual Learning and Library Usage during COVID-19 Pandemic: The Adeleke University Experience
By Adetayo, Adebowale Jeremy
This study sought to examine the relationship between virtual learning and library usage among students in Adeleke University. A total enumeration technique was adopted for sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the 903 participants surveyed, 75.3% always attended the virtual lecture. 30.7% use the library two or three times a week, while 25.4% use the library once a week. Virtual learning has a positive, statistically significant relationship with library usage (r = 0.224, P < 0.05), library services usage (r = 0.201, P < 0.05) and level of satisfaction (r = 0.255, P < 0.05). The study concluded that virtual learning is essential for Adeleke University students’ use of the library and its services, since technology serve as a tool that bridges geographical boundaries, thereby providing easy accessibility to resources. © 2022 The Author(s).

Podcasting Library Services Post COVID-19 Pandemic Era: Its Potential and Challenges for Distant Learners
By Adetayo, Adebowale Jeremy
The study investigated the willingness of students to remotely tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries and the associated challenges. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The sample included 245 Adeleke University undergraduates. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that most patrons rarely use podcasts, with Spotify being the most popular among students. Students indicated that the campus news and information programme, library seminars, and user education would be their top choices for frequent listening. Students may be discouraged from utilizing library podcast programmes due to issues with internet access, a lack of finances to obtain data, and a time constraint. The study concluded that podcasts had potential for distant learners and that students would be ready to tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries, and therefore recommended that libraries in Nigeria begin to employ podcasts in airing library programmes and marketing library services. © 2022 The Author(s).

By Williams-Ilemobola, Olajumoke Bolanle
This study examined the influence of information-seeking behavior on library services used by the disabled in Federal universities in South-west, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population comprises 302 disabled students in Federal universities in South-west, Nigeria. Total enumeration technique was used. A questionnaire was used for data collection. The instrument was tested for reliability, yielding Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from 0.74 to 0.75. Descriptive and Inferential Statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that advisory, carrel and consultancy services were the most available services. The most used services were user education services and consultancy services. The respondents’ information-seeking behavior mostly involves seeking information on health and retrieving information from the e-library. The study concluded that information-seeking behavior influenced the use of library services of disabled students. The study recommended that library management must provide more resources on health-related subjects, especially in electronic form. Finally, the management should improve their current awareness services tailored to the needs of disabled students and library staff should be trained on how to serve every library user irrespective of their challenges. © 2022 The Author(s).
