Technology In Higher Education

This study investigates the preparedness of subject librarians to meet the challenges of information technology in higher education institutions in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The objectives of the study were to identify different technologies that subject librarians use, also to investigate the preparedness of subject librarians to meet the challenges of information technology as it changes rapidly. Furthermore to determine the areas in their technological skills that subject librarians need to improve or strengthen; and to investigate whether the surveyed institutions are providing training and development programmes to re-skill and update subject librarians on new technologies. The target population for this study was subject librarians from major academic institutions in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Electronic questionnaires were administered to subject librarians for data collection purpose. The study revealed some weaknesses in the use of some technology as well as challenges being faced in skills transfer using technology. Recommendations were made on support from the management of universities in re-skilling subject librarians and pro-active actions from subject librarians should they encounter something new in technology.

Considering the relentless pace at which information technology (IT) is shaping the global environment, this study aims to determine the impact of IT on university students from their attitudes toward IT. The areas examined in this study are the educational, personal and social aspects of the students toward the impact of IT. A survey was conducted on 201 undergraduates from two local universities, Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore, with almost equal numbers of engineering and non-engineering undergraduates. The results show that although all the respondents felt the impact of IT, their attitudes toward IT were varying with respect to the three areas of study. Contrary to common belief, non-engineering undergraduates were found to have a more positive disposition toward the impact of IT.
