Title: Automation Efforts in Public and Privately Owned University Libraries in the South-West of Nigeria Authors: Ojo, R. A.; Otunla, A. O. Abstract: The concept of library automation is gradually gaining ground in Nigerian Libraries, particularly in the public and privately owned University libraries in the South-West part of Nigeria which is the focus of this study. The study examines automation efforts in Public and Privately Owned University Libraries (PPOULs) in the South- West, Nigeria. The study also identifies PPOULs that have been automated, the type of integrated library system(ILS) being used, its description, modules already activated, evidence of web presence of these university libraries and the common challenges being faced by these university libraries in implementing automation, among others. A structured questionnaire was designed, using Google form with a link to elicit information from the respondents. The questionnaire was sent to the Systems Administrator/ Librarian of each of the libraries via email. The response rate was hundred percent (100%).The data were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages which are presented in tables. The results of the findings showed that more than half (61.5%) of PPOULs in the South-West were automated; using either proprietary, open source or in-house developed Integrated Library System (ILS). The finding also revealed that Koha ILS is used by 50% of the university libraries in the South-West Nigeria. The cataloguing module was found to be implemented by all the libraries while the serials module is the least implemented among the libraries studied. The major challenges indicated are that of erratic power supply, insufficient staff to carry out the automation project and insufficient funds to maintain the automation project. The study concludes that automation has a growing list of benefits, particularly when it is adopted and implemented in university academic libraries. The initiative will enhance effective information sendees delivery and at the same time raise the profile and prestige of the library and the university it semes.

Title: Analysis of Social Media Use among Academic Libraries Authors: Olajide, A. A.; Alao, A. V. Abstract: Social Media (SM) has found uses and application in academic library for various services and functions. This assertion was to be determined among Nigerian university libraries in terms of what platforms, average number of posts, engagement in terms of like, share, comment of users, number of likes on the SM account, type of information disseminated on SM. The result shows a low use of SM among the sampled university libraries in terms of number of SM accounts operated, number of posts, level of engagement in terms of like, share and comment to post from the university libraries’ SM accounts. Also low number of likes for the SM, type of information disseminated is also very low. Most university libraries do not even have any SM accounts. Recommendations were made as to how to improve on the use of SM platform, services that can be rendered on it, how to make it more engaging, and the type of information that should be sent with the frequency of posting messages.
