Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the ICT resource availability necessary for

teaching ICT related courses in Library schools within South East Nigeria. This is

with the aim of finding out their problems and strategies for enhancement of

teaching and learning. Six objectives and six research questions guided the study.

A descriptive survey design was adopted in carrying out the work. Purposive

sampling technique was used. The entire population of fifty-one (51) respondents

was used for the study. The instruments for data collection were questionnaire and

observation checklist. Fifty-one copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the

lecturers and ICT staff in the four Library Schools within South East Nigeria with

a 100% return rate. The following statistical measures were employed for the data

analysis: frequency table, simple percentage and mean (X). The results obtained

from the findings revealed that the extent to which ICT resources were used in the

four Library schools for the teaching of Library and Information Science (LIS)

courses was seen to be infrequent, that the frequency and percentage of the

resources needed for the teaching of ICT related courses in the four Library

schools is high. Also, the ICT resources are available in different proportions and/

or unavailable altogether. The respondents agreed with most of the itemized

problems affecting the availability of resources for the teaching of ICT related

courses in the four Library schools, that the lecturers and ICT staff in the four

library schools studied lack some basic ICT skills. Based on the research findings,

it was recommended that students should avail themselves of the available ICT

resources in their institutions as a way of enhancing their studies, learning and

aiding retention. Better funding of ICT resources by universities/government is

necessary in the library schools and lecturers in Library schools should have full

ICT skill, especially in the areas of slide design and use of projectors as this will

promote learning and make it more permanent in students. Finally, there should be

adequate power supply and power back up as this is necessary for continuous ICT

resources usage.
