The University

Rapid changes in information and communication technology require application of managerial techniques, human resource management and integration of several technologies in library and information Centers. The present research aims at studying the extent of job enlargement in selected eight state university libraries in Kerala. Data of the study was gathered from a total of 266 qualified and permanent library and information science professionals. Analysis of data was done using SPSS and Micro Soft excel. The important finding of the research is that there is no significant level of job enlargement among library and information science professionals. It also finds that job enlargement situation of libraries in the universities in Kerala is low and different. The study reveals that there is significant variation in the level of job enlargement among the university libraries in Kerala. The highest level of job enlargement is found in Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady followed by Kannur University.

And Task

The study investigated the relationship between access to and use of information and communication technology and task performances of library personnel in public university libraries in South West Nigeria. The total enumeration technique was used to cover 330 library professionals working in public university libraries in the zone. A self-developed questionnaire was used to obtain data. Out of the 330 copies of questionnaire administered 248 (76.6%) copies were found useable. The findings revealed that the level of task performances of the respondents was high, and the level of access to ICT was high, while the frequency of ICT use was moderate. The results indicated that there was a positive relative effect of ICT access and use on task performances. The study also found a significant relationship between the access to ICT, ICT use and task performances of respondents, while there was a significant joint effect of access to ICT and ICT use on the task performances of library personnel. The study recommended the constant development of personnel regarding job knowledge and skills, the promotion of creativity and adaptability skills to enhance personnel task performances, while library managers should continue to make ICT tools accessible for library personnel to allow their use in improving the workflow in the library.

Convenience Sampling

The influence of media and method and their recent dramatic impact on learning have been discussed by many researchers in the instructional technology field and spurred the Clark-Kozma debate. This chapter explores the standpoints of preservice information and communication technology teachers attending a state university in Turkey. The findings are presented as a guide to educators and instructional designers, especially in their preservice research and practice. Participants were selected by convenience sampling, and their opinions were obtained following a debate on the topic. A questionnaire was administered for this purpose that had been prepared by the researchers. The results of the survey were augmented by detailed observations of the debate. Most of the participants agree that new media provides and facilitates the emergence of new methods or changes in existing methods, and learning and teaching benefit from approaches that combine the two.

Selective Dissemination Of Information

Abstract Objective – To assess the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for selective dissemination of information (SDI) and current awareness services (CAS) in university libraries in the South-West zone of Nigeria. Methods – A descriptive research design was adopted. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire administered to a population consisting of 379 librarians, with 353 usable questionnaires retrieved. Results – Findings revealed that most university libraries in the South-West zone of Nigeria do not use ICT in delivery of SDI and CAS. It is evident in this study that despite the known positive effects of ICT in library services, traditional methods were predominantly used for SDI and CAS to the library users. The study revealed that erratic Internet services, insufficient training, inadequate ICT skills, and low support for ICT were hindrances towards ICT use for SDI and CAS. Conclusions – The integration of ICT features in library services for the delivery of CAS and SDI has been a challenge in university libraries in South-West Nigeria. Only a few libraries and a low percentage of librarians had adopted the use of ICT in the delivery of CAS and SDI, while a larger number of libraries resorted to the use of traditional methods. The level of ICT literacy among the librarians in this study is low, as a higher percentage of librarians did not have adequate ICT skill to use available online resources on the Internet and other ICT tools to deliver SDI and CAS in South-West, Nigeria. This is not unconnected to the fact that the training and technical support received by the librarians is inadequate, and the level of support that academic libraries received from their university managements in South-West Nigeria in terms of funding for ICT development is inadequate, which led to low Internet services.

This paper presents an analysis about the number of incoming and graduate students,considering women and men, at the Department of Informatics (DIN) at State Universityof Maringá (UEM), in Brazil. The data were collected considering three graduate courses,Data Processing Technology (extinct in 1997), Computer Science and Informatics. Theresults show that the number of women is dropping drastically from the late 1990s. InComputer Science, from 1994 to 2016, of the 622 graduate students, 127 were women.In Informatics, from 2000 to 2016, only 38 women had graduated, of the 275 students.In 2017, there were 211 students enrolled in Computer Science, and 208 in Informatics.On average, 8.11% were women (34), being 8.65% in Informatics (18), and 7.58% inComputer Science (16). These percentages are lower than the national one in Brazil,which is 14.19%.

The Village

Rural development has undergone significant changes since the digitization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Hybrid media technology has proven to make it easier for innovative villages to build networks and empower their communities to narrow the ICT gap, one of which is through community service. This community service is an effort of Gorontalo State University so that the Tridarma of Higher Education is implemented to contribute science and technology to the community. This Community Service was carried out in Tamboo Village, Bone Pantai District, Bone Bolango Regency. The purpose of this Community Service was to provide counseling on how to condition the beginning of a village so that it becomes a digital village. The expected output targets from this activity are: 1) The officials and community in Tamboo Village have knowledge of the importance of the village internet and how to manage infrastructure related to the village internet. 2) Village officials or village internet managers can have the ability to use internet facilities, which can then be developed to create village websites for digitization: village profile data, population data, village resource and potential data and other activities that can be digitized for work effectiveness and efficiency.
