Web Information Seeking Behaviour of Academic Staff: in case of Assosa Univer...IJSRED
This document summarizes a study on the web information seeking behavior of academic staff at Assosa University in Ethiopia. A survey was conducted of 174 academic staff using questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that most academic staff seek web information daily, primarily for class assignments and research. Google is the most used search engine. Respondents were dissatisfied with slow internet connections and lack of information literacy training. Challenges included internet speed, lack of training, and information overload. Significant gender differences were found in web channel usage and purpose. Improving infrastructure, training, and database marketing were recommended.
A comparative analysis of print versus electronicprj_publication
This document summarizes a study that compared students' use of print versus electronic information sources. The study found that most students at Delta State University in Nigeria still prefer print sources over electronic sources. Students reported that ease of use and familiarity were reasons for preferring print. While students used some electronic sources like e-books and databases, print sources like textbooks were used most frequently. Challenges to using both print and electronic sources included lack of infrastructure, obsolete materials, and high costs. Overall, the study showed students had a preference for familiar print formats despite the growth of electronic information technologies.
This study examined college students' online research behaviors through a survey of 282 students. The survey asked about students' internet usage patterns, how they find study information online, and how they evaluate credibility of sources. The results showed that students primarily use search engines like Google to find information for studying due to convenience. They prefer using the library database for academic projects because they perceive the information to be more vetted. However, students value efficiency over credibility and expertise when conducting research. The study recommends improving information literacy training for students to help them better evaluate sources and use library databases.
Use and satisfaction with online public access catalogue in selected universi...Alexander Decker
This study examined students' use and satisfaction of online public access catalogs (OPAC) at two university libraries in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study found that OPAC utilization was poor, with most students not using it at all. However, students reported being moderately satisfied with OPAC when they used it. Major challenges to OPAC use included lack of student training on how to use OPAC, insufficient computer resources, and unreliable power supply. The study recommends that libraries provide better OPAC training for students and increase computer resources to improve OPAC usage.
This document discusses a study on the use of search engines by postgraduate students at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The study found that postgraduate students are not very exposed to the various search engines available on the web and do not use them much in their literature searches. This was attributed to their poor exposure to the internet and lack of knowledge about available search engines. The study recommends emphasizing the need for postgraduate students to use search engines relevant to their fields through lectures, seminars and conferences to improve their exposure. It also recommends students take initiative to learn about different search engines on their own to improve the quality of their research.

We use both face-to-face method in the physical classroom while virtual classroom was created in facebook and WhatsApp where course content is delivered before physical class, also for after physical classroom interactions among the students and lecturers. Another questionnaire was given to the sample population to assess their learning experiences after
which the exams was given to evaluate the students’ performance. Exam result was compared with previous result
where teaching was done through face to face method. It was discovered that about 89% (1065) of sample population had 50 and above in the collated result which is sharply defer when compared with the previous semester where only face-to-face method was adopted.
JIBS 2009 Bibliometrics And The REF 2009-11-13Tim Wales
The document discusses researchers' preferences and needs for bibliometric data and research information systems. It finds that researchers value abstract and index databases to aid in identifying articles to cite and for horizontal browsing. Current systems have difficulties providing accurate publication data for institutions. An ideal system would interface with libraries and contain full publication data, citation information where needed, and support depositing research outputs to raise individual profiles. Such systems can facilitate the REF submission process and benchmarking while reducing manual data entry.
This document summarizes a study on the role of open access resources in research and development in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Nigeria. 460 TVET experts completed a questionnaire about their familiarity with and attitudes toward open access journals, institutional repositories, and scholarly works posted online. The majority were familiar with open access resources and agreed they are of good quality and beneficial for research. However, some challenges in accessing resources were reported. The study found that open access resources can enhance research quality and accessibility if awareness of such resources is increased among TVET experts in Nigeria.
This study aimed to understand student and faculty perspectives on e-books through an analysis of responses to two open-ended questions in a large UK national survey. The survey received over 16,000 responses. Convenience of online access and searchability were cited as the biggest advantages of e-books. Respondents saw potential for e-textbooks but felt e-books need improved printing and screen reading features to be more student-friendly. The study provides valuable insight into academic attitudes toward e-books from one of the largest surveys on the topic.
This document describes the two-phase development of an assessment to measure students' critical evaluation of online information. In Phase One, the assessment measured credibility and relevance but had low reliability. Phase Two reduced scales/subscales, simplified formatting, and measured only credibility. Cognitive labs with students informed revisions. Exploratory factor analysis identified two factors. Future work will pilot revised items and examine how item specificity impacts difficulty and variance.

1) The study analyzed usage data from eResources at the Open University, a distance learning institution, to determine if there was a relationship between library resource usage and student success, as has been found at traditional universities.
2) The results showed that students who passed modules accessed library eResources twice as often as students who failed. Further statistical analysis found a significant association between higher levels of eResource access and better student results.
3) The findings suggest that even in a digital library environment, higher student engagement with library resources is still correlated with academic success, as seen in other university studies.
This quantitative research study aims to understand why graduate students prefer using Google over library databases for scholarly research. A survey will be administered via email to 1600 graduate students at Emporia State University to collect data on their search behaviors, perceptions of ease of use, and other factors. The goal is to receive 300 responses to obtain a reliable sample size. Results will help libraries develop more user-friendly discovery tools and inform database vendors. The research was designed based on a literature review exploring this topic and adheres to ethical standards involving human subjects. Some limitations include potential low response rate and lack of follow up interviews.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
