This paper explicitly discussed a step-by-step strategy used to import a total of 23, 274 records from X-Lib automation software to KOHA ILS at Laz Otti Memorial Library,

(University of Idaho Library, 2021-11-25) Ojeabulu, N.
The paper examined the effect of literature in the school library on the social development of empathy and friendship skills of children. The study was done with two private primary schools in Orerokpe Educational Zone of Delta State, Nigeria. Two objectives and two research questions guided the study. The population of the study was 28,172 and the sample comprised 63 primary four pupils. Purposive and cluster sampling techniques were used to sample 32 pupils in experimental group one and 31 in the experimental group two (control group). Cluster sampling technique was further employed to draw out the two intact classes for the experiment. Data collected was were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, while analysis of covariance was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. From the findings, it was discovered that exposing children to literature is effective and significant in both their ability to empathize with others and their ability to make friends. The implication is that schools should pay adequate attention to literature books when stocking the library, especially those with empathy and friendship themes as they will greatly impact the children on their ability to empathize with others and their ability to make friends with ease.

(Publishing India Group, 2021) Oyovwe-Tinuoye, Gloria O.; Adomi, Esharenana E.
The study investigated the use of social media by teenagers in day secondary school in Delta State. A descriptive survey research design was embraced for the study, with a self-constructed questionnaire as the tool of data collection. The questionnaire was constructed after consultation of related literature to ensure
that relevant items were included in it. A structured questionnaire was designed by the researchers with six research questions. The population of the study comprised all teenagers in day secondary school in Delta State, Nigeria. The researchers used a simple random sampling method in selecting samples for the study, because the method allows members of the populace under study to have equal chances of being selected. Data was collected through the use of a self-constructed questionnaire entitled ‘The use of social media by teenagers in day secondary (USMTDS)’. The data collected were analysed using simple percentages and descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that a majority of the respondents have access to social media and the devices used
were bought for them by their parents; Facebook is mostly used by teenagers; teenagers access social media during the day; they did not know the length of time they spent on social media; teenagers used social media for academic matters; teenagers are monitored by parents on social media; and social media exposes teenagers to pornography materials. The paper recommended that efforts should be made by parents to ensure constant monitoring and supervision of teenagers on social media to reduce the crime rate, as well as restrict the sites they can access.

This study examined pupils’ experience with e-learning during COVID-19 lockdown in Delta State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design with five (5) research objectives of the study. The questionnaire was constructed after consultation of related literature to ensure that relevant items were included in it.

The population of the study comprised of all pupils in Delta State who participated in e-learning to meet up with the third curriculum and eventually used for promotion for the next class. The researchers used the purposive sampling technique in selecting the sample for the study because of easy accessibility to respondents and schools that participated in e-learning during the lockdown. The questionnaire was administered face to face to pupils in Delta State with the support of six research assistants who were trained on how to distribute the questionnaires to the respondents. Out of the 750 copies of the questionnaire distributed to pupils in Delta State, 703 usable copies (that is, a response rate of 93%).The data collected were analysed using percentages and presented in tables. The findings revealed that International Unity School Edjeba, Edjeba Estate School Edjeba, Alvina High School Effurun, Mother of Redeemer Catholic School, Effurun, Nehemiah International School Okuokoko, James Welch Grammar School, Emevor and St. Theresa Girls Grammar School Ughelli in Delta State participated in e-learning during COVID- 19 lockdown.

Finally, the majority of the respondents have problems associated with slow internet signals and the high cost of data. The study recommended that the Federal government of Nigeria should ensure that they liaise with organisations in charge of various networks how to ensure that they boast their signal transmission and how to reduce tariffs during the lockdown era.
