Title: Impact analysis of e-Databases’ job relevance, output quality and result demonstrability on faculty research motivation
Authors: Izuagbe, Roland; Olawoyin, Olajumoke Rebecca; Nkiko, Christopher; Ilo, Promise Ifeoma; Yusuf, Felicia; Iroaganachi, Mercy; Ilogho, Julie; Ifijeh, Goodluck Israel
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of the study is to ascertain whether or not faculty members would be motivated to use
e-Databases for research considering the impact of the Technology Acceptance Model2 (TAM2) cognitive
instrumental processes of job relevance, output quality and result demonstrability.
Design/methodology/approach – The survey research design was applied. The selection of samples was
based on a multistage sampling technique involving; purposive, simple/systematic random and total
enumeration procedures. Five colleges and departments each were selected from the three universities that
provided the setting for the conduct of this study, out of which a sample of 135 was drawn from the total
population of 209. The questionnaire method was used for data gathering. Ninety-five percent return rate of the
administered instrument was observed. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools were employed for data
analyses.
Findings – Job relevance, output quality and result demonstrability are motivators of faculty use of
e-Databases for research with result demonstrability wielding the strongest influence. Use of e-Databases for
research is based on the usefulness level perceived of them. Faculty are highly predisposed to using the
technology for research with the chances of getting published in reputable journal outlets ranked highest
among other factors that influence faculty use of e-Databases.
Originality/value – The conceptualization of TAM2 cognitive instrumental processes as system
characteristics and motivators of e-Databases use among faculty towards research engagement advances
the understanding of intention to use e-Databases for research.

Title: Achieving the 4IR University Library in Sub- Saharan Africa: Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges
Authors: Nkiko, Christopher; Okuonghae, Omorodion
Abstract: The paper examined the university library in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
(4IR) and the preconditions for achieving and sustaining the same in Nigeria. 4IR is characterized
by a level of automation, deployment of emerging technologies and artificial intelligence,
internet connectivity and accessibility to the global information network, subscription
to reputable online databases, quality and comprehensive collection in diverse formats,
preponderance of digital natives among patrons, increased demand for seamless access
to online resources and virtual operations, new library spaces (learning commons, research
commons and makerspace), open scholarly communication, research data management,
social mediation applications, digital curation and preservation. The challenges militating
against effective crystallization of 4IR university libraries include: financial constraints, inadequate
infrastructure, resistance to change, inadequate skills and competencies, security
and intrusion issues, lack of exposure to international standards.

Title: Perceived Influence of Bibliotherapy on the Rehabilitation of Drug Addicts in South-West, Nigerian Teaching Hospitals: An Investigative Study
Authors: Agbetuyi, P.A.; Adeleye, B.O.; Omolade, J.K.
Abstract: This purpose of this study is to investigate perceived influence of bibliotherapy on the
rehabilitation of drug addicts in South-west Nigerian teaching hospitals. The study specifically
identified the pattern of information utilisation by drug addicts; examined the approaches used by
medical librarians in administering bibliotherapy and the perception of drug addicts on behaviour
modification using bibliotherapy. Extant literatures related to the topic were reviewed. The survey
research design was used for the study and the population of the respondents consisted of Forty –
Eight (48) drug addicts purposively selected from six (6) teaching hospitals (Federal, State and
Private) in South West, Nigeria. Questionnaires were used as instrument for data gathering and
were pretested for validity. It was analysed using frequency, percentages and four – point Likert
scale. Hypothesis was also tested using spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Out of 48
questionnaires administered, 45 were returned and found useful representing 94% response rate.
The survey revealed that respondents used specific reading materials for information with mean
of 2.9; they used novels, short stories, poetry, plays and biographies to improve their psychological
wellbeing with mean of 3.1; it was also revealed that they read online books on addiction and
recovery with mean of 2.6, among others. The study also revealed that bibliotherapy assisted them
to recognize when they were likely to relapse; it assisted them to avoid and cope with relapse and
encouraged abstinence from addictive substances. The result of the correlation indicated a low
positive relationship between pattern of information utilisation and behaviour modification.
Hence, the null hypothesis was rejected. It was recommended that health information professionals
should work with mental health practitioners in providing access to information that would
enhance behaviour modification among drug addicts.
