(2024-12) Durodolu, O. O.; Iroaganachi, M. A.; Otunla, J. N.
This paper investigated the effects of slow internet on academic library staff productivity and job satisfaction of academic library staff using the University of Ibadan library as a case in focus. Data Collection Methods. The study employed a qualitative research method, guided by a phenomenological research paradigm, using Focus Group discussions for data collection. The responses were presented and discussed objectively. Data Analysis. NVivo software was used for qualitative data analysis to enhance the depth of qualitative research by providing data management technique and facilitate complex analyses, and support robust reporting. Results and Discussion. Findings of the study revealed that slow internet may have serious consequences on library staff, their operations, and productivity including; decreased output, staff dissatisfaction, and hampered user services etcetera. The study recommends that universities and library management invest in faster, more reliable internet, implement hybrid systems to provide alternative resources during technological limitations, ensure librarians are adaptable in managing slow internet challenges, and encourage librarians to maintain a positive mindset to avoid frustration and job dissatisfaction. Conclusion. This research addresses a gap in the literature by examining how internet speed impacts library staff productivity and satisfaction, providing insights for enhancing library services and staff well-being amidst technological challenges.
Management of electronic records for service delivery at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria
(IGI Global, 2020) Durodolu, O. O.; Mamudu, P. A.; Tsabedze, V.
Healthcare providers have, over the years, struggled with the management of patient records. The struggle became exaggerated as information became increasingly large and convoluted. The contemporary healthcare environment is characterised by information overload; without the proper organisation of information resources, access to valuation resources can become an albatross, if not properly managed. Health information is the data associated with the medical ailment of a patient’s history, containing symptoms, diagnoses, procedures, and results. Quick access to this vital information may be a life-and-death decision that must not be taken for granted. This chapter aims to investigate how electronic records are managed in a contemporary method as adopted by the University College Hospital (UCH).
Migration of digital content and provision of viable platform for effective library operations: the millennium experiences of two academic libraries In Nigeria
(2014) Iroaganachi, M. A.; Durodolu, O. O.
As the number of internet users and searchable content is increasing day by day, the text and documents become more complex and are becoming more difficult to find and investigate. Efficient search and retrieval of the required information is very critical for the internet users which is becoming a challenge day by day. In this paper we present an ontological model for efficient text-based search functionality. The goal is to let the user explore all available options to find and retrieve the required piece of information. The ontological model is presented for a university website as a case study and some usage scenarios are given.
Work-life balance of librarians at the Kenneth Dike Library in Nigeria: implications for the provision of library services
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020) Durodolu, O. O.; Mamudu, P. A.
Purpose – This study examined the interceding influence of work–life balance (WLB) among library staff at the Kenneth Dike Library and its implication for the provision of information. The research sought to respond to the following questions: the effect of demographic variables on the WLB of librarians and their perceptions of WLB within the intimate environment. Design/methodology/approach – This study adopted a positivist research paradigm because the nature of the research revealed a single social reality which can be measured quantitatively, using a reliable instrument such as a questionnaire. The total sampling technique was used to zero in on the staff of the library, in which the entire library population was included in the study. Findings – The findings suggest that male librarians enjoy a better WLB than their female counterparts. Also, the results indicate that librarians, irrespective of their marital status, focused on job-related activities minding their marital status and therefore, marital status could influence the WLB of librarians. Similarly, priority is not being given to their work, to the detriment of caring for the family. Research limitations/implications – The study suggests that age causes the WLB to change, the implication being that an ageing workforce has an impact on adaptation, output and innovation. Originality/value – This paper sheds light on the WLB among librarians at the Kenneth Dike Library (KDL); therefore, information acquired from this study is imaginative and valuable to understand better how information professionals react to official and personal engagement.
