The quantitative research employed exploratory research design. The population for the study was 158 librarians in the university libraries of 12 public universities in South-south, Nigeria. Total enumeration sampling techniques was used for the study. Questionnaire was used as the instrument of data collection. The data generated from the respondents were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The criterion mean was set at 3.0. It was found that the extent of use of facilities for participating in Zoom meetings for professional development among librarians in university libraries in South-South, Nigeria is high. The librarians rarely participated in Zoom meetings organised by various organisations for professional development. The extent of the benefits derived from the Zoom meetings the librarians have participated in for professional development is high. The librarians rarely experienced barriers with the Zoom meetings they have participated in. It was recommended that the librarians should cultivate the habit of participating frequently in Zoom meetings as this will enable them to be conversant with the current trends in librarianship and they will be able to air their views on certain issues in library practice.Item Students’ Experience with Group Assignment in a Nigerian Library and Information Science School(World Scientific, 2018) Akpojotor, Lucky; Adomi, Esharenana E.This study explored master's degree students' experiences with a group assignment at the Department of Library and Information Science, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. The study adopted a quantitative approach. The students were assigned to groups of 4 – 5 each to work on topics in the collection development course and were required to orally present a seminar at the end of the first semester of the 2012/2013 academic session. At the end of the seminar presentation, the students were requested to each list five benefits they derived and five problems they encountered in the course of the group assignment. The responses were collated, analysed, tabulated, and used for this paper. Frequency counts and percentages were used to analyse the data. It was discovered that group assignment enabled the students in this study to build team spirit, share ideas, and learn information search, presentation, and management skills. However, the majority of the students observed that some members did not cooperate in the group assignment. The study provided primary data that could assist lecturers to improve on administration of group assignments.
