Library Resources and Service Utilization by Postgraduate Students in a Nigerian Private University.
(Academic Journals, 2013-10) Onifade, Fehintola N.; Ogbuiyi, Susan U.; Omeluzor, Saturday U.
The study examined the use of library resources and services among postgraduate students in Babcock University Library. Questionnaire was used as the main research instrument. 100 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to the students; the return rate was 76%. The major findings were; majority of the postgraduate students do not use the library regularly. Their main purpose of visiting the library is to consult research materials. They used more internet sources and their major challenge was lack of time. They were also averagely satisfied with the library services. Suggestions were offered to improve the library services.
Document Delivery Services and Resource Sharing Preferences in Nigerian Libraries.
(Credence Publishing, 2023) Sambo, Atanda S.; Oyovwe-Tinuoye, Gloria O.
This paper assessed document delivery service and resource sharing in Nigeria libraries. The population comprised 172 participants that were inducted at 7th
Conference of Certified Librarians by Librarians’ Registration Council of Nigeria held in Abuja, 2021.The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire. Research questions were answered using frequency, bar charts, percentages and mean. The major findings revealed different document delivery services offered by the respondents in their libraries, such as electronic document delivery and paper. The Finding revealed that electronic document delivery service were more preferable over paper. The results further revealed that librarians are facing numerous challenges towards document delivery service and resources sharing activities such as limited budget, copyright law, economic barrier, network barrier sociological barrier, and technology among others. The study recommended that libraries stakeholders, Librarians Registration Council of Nigeria, National Library of Nigeria, Nigeria Library Association, parent institutions and government should give more support to resources sharing in the libraries, especially in this era of information communication technology for quality service delivery.
Demographic Factors as Correlate of Job Satisfaction among Librarians in University Libraries in Southern Nigeria.
(Shri Shakti Degree College, 2022-06) Oyovwe-Tinuoye, Gloria O.; Ogbomo, M. O.
The study examined the demographic factors as a correlate of job satisfaction among librarians in the university libraries in Southern Nigeria. The researchers observed that librarians in these university libraries appeared not to be contented with the work they do and as such many of them are not happily attending to users and processing information resources for efficient service delivery. They tend to bring age, gender and work experiences differences in responding to official issues and refuse to take orders from superior officers irrespective of hierarchy. The study adopted an ex-post-facto research design. The entire population of 841 librarians was used as a sample using the total enumeration (purposive) sampling technique. A questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The
findings discovered that there is a significant relationship between age and Job Satisfaction among librarians involved in the study while gender and work experience do not influence the job satisfaction of librarians in the university libraries of Southern Nigeria. The study concludes that age influences job satisfaction among librarians in university libraries in Southern Nigeria.
COVID-19 Information Seeking and Utilization Among Women in Warri Metropolis, Delta State, Nigeria.
(IGI Global Scientific Publishing, 2021-12) Adomi, Esharenana E.; Oyovwe-Tinuoye, Gloria O.
The study is intended to explore COVID-19 information seeking and utilization among women in Warri Metropolis, Delta State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted using a selfconstructed questionnaire to collect data. Data were analyzed using simple percentages. Findings revealed that a majority of the women need information on COVID-19 preventive measures, followed by causes of the pandemic. Internet is the source of COVID-19 information used by the highest number of respondents, followed by television and social media. A majority of them consider the authority of the source of the information on coronavirus followed by usefulness of the information. A majority access COVID-19 information to enable them identify symptoms of the disease followed by protection
against COVID-19 infection while concern for reliability of much of the available information on the pandemic was a major barrier to their utilization of COVID-19 information. It is recommended that effort should be made by government to get mobile network operators to reduce network tariff.
Petrophysical Evaluation and Seismic Interpretation of Geowil Hydrocarbon Bearing Reservoir in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria.
(JASEM, 2023-09-30) Osisanya, O. W.; Ogugu, A. A.; Saleh, A. S.; Eyankware, O. M.; Oyanameh, E. O.
The objective of this research was to carry out a petrophysical evaluation and seismic interpretation of Geowil hydrocarbon-bearing field in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria using standard techniques. Three hydrocarbon-bearing sands were identified, namely reservoirs R-1000, R-2000 and R-3000, from the well log data. The result showed that both reservoir R-1000 and R-2000 reveal high resistivity values and low water saturation while reservoir R-3000 indicates that the hydrocarbon contained is oil and gas. Both reservoir R-1000 and R-2000 are observed to be thinning out across the field, reservoir R-3000 is seen to be slightly undulating across the field. The petrophysical computation obtained for the three reservoirs (R-1000, R-2000 and R-3000) revealed that they all have very good average porosity anomalies of 27%, 27% and 25% respectively as well as moderate permeability values (159.974Md, 126.9Md, and 162.02 Md respectively) rating. The hydrocarbon saturation index obtained for all the three reservoir (55%, 54% and 50%) showed that they are all good indicator of prolific hydrocarbon accumulation. The result of the volume of hydrocarbon originally in place and the volume that can be recovered estimated revealed that R-1000 has STOIIP of 262.47MMSTB, R-2000 has 2.66MMSTB and R-3000 has 42.67MMSTB. The ultimate recovery for the three reservoirs is 19.31MMSTB, 1.19MMSTB, and 19.2MMSTB respectively. This implies that the reservoir has great potential for oil resources in considerable size.
