The use of information and communication technologies continue to grow each year. This is in line with the increasing demands for the distribution of information quickly and accurately. To keep the system of information and communication technologies into one quality enhancer in a College, then required the existence of a system of governance audit of information technology communications so that all factors are interconnected with the use of information technology can run as expected and all service information and communication technology can continue to be improved by the application of information technology is right on target. The existence of a good system of governance is the answer for the use of information and communication technology systems that are reliable. The role of the audit of the governance system of information and communication technologies as a means of decision makers is needed by a college to ensure that the application of information technology is in compliance with the planning. The COBIT frameworks has a coverage of control purposes which consists of 4 domains (ITGI, 2007), that is Planning and Organization (PO), Acquisition and Implementation (AI), Delivery and Support (DS), and Monitor and Evaluate (ME). In addition to this COBIT framework also has a Maturity Model that is used to find out the position of the maturity of the current governance and continuously strive to improve the level up to the highest level in order for all aspects of the management towards information technology can be done more effectively. Then the results of this research is the description of the analysis of the level of maturity of the implementation of the corporate governance of information and communication technology systems using COBIT framework 4.1 on Library STMIK Palangkaraya.

Vision, an essential part of human existence plays vital roles in the life of an individual and any hindrance to vision resulting in total or partial loss of sight creates difficulties in understanding the world around such an individual. The problem associated with academic performance of students with visual impairment has a number of indicators which have not received adequate attention from researchers in special education. This study therefore, examined the relationship of information and communication technology (ICT) utilisation on academic performance of students with visual impairment in Lagos State. The objectives of the study were to identify ICT tools, level of ICT utilisation as well as their relationship to academic .performance among students with visual impairment. Using descriptive research design of correlational type, twenty eight students with visual impairment were selected using purposive sampling technique from two special schools located within Lagos state. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents and data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson product moment correlation statistics. Two research questions were raised while one hypothesis was generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results indicated that there was significant relationship between information and communication technology utilisation and academic performance of students with visual impairment in Lagos state (r = .536, P< .05). Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that schools should adopt appropriate ICT tools that will enhance academic performance of students with visual impairment and to include ICT training skills in the curriculum of special schools.
