Adoption and Use of Innovative Mobile Technologies in Nigerian Academic Libraries
Robert Akinade Awoyemi (Adeyemi Federal College of Education, Nigeria)
Copyright: © 2018 |Pages: 36
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-2953-8.ch019
Abstract
The research explores the extent to which academic libraries in Nigeria are using mobile technologies for the delivery of its information and research services, and the impact these technologies may have on the professional development needs of librarians. Using a mixed method design approach, two data sets were investigated. First, the web-based library homepages of 15 tertiary education libraries in South-west Nigeria were examined for their level of conformance to a mobile platform and second, library staff from the 15 academic libraries were surveyed for their perceptions of, and experiences in, using mobile technology both within a social context and within the workplace. This research found that while mobile technologies are in use by the majority of academic libraries to a degree, lack of resources and awareness of new innovations were identified as barriers to providing mobile services that meet users' needs and expectations.
