    (Department of Library and Information Science, delta State University, Abraka, 2025-12) Ogo, Emuejevoke P.; Okwu, Emmanuel
    The study examined the relationship between library aesthetics and librarians’ service delivery in federal university libraries in the Niger Delta Region, Nigeria. Specifically, the study seeks to ascertain the quality level of library aesthetics, assess the level of service delivery among librarians, and examine the relationship between library aesthetics and librarians’ service delivery in federal university libraries in the Niger Delta Region, Nigeria. Three research questions were formulated in line with the specific objectives to guide the study. The study employed the correlational research design. The population of the study comprised 199 librarians drawn from nine (9) federal university libraries, one in each of the states in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. The total enumeration sampling technique was employed. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire titled “Library Aesthetics and Librarians’ Service Delivery Questionnaire” (LALSDQ), which was subjected to a trial test to ensure reliability, and analyzed with the use of Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, yielding a coefficient index of 0.78, showing a high reliability level. 199 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to librarians who are staff in federal university libraries in the Niger Delta Region, Nigeria, face to face, out of which 183(92%) were retrieved and found usable for the study. The data collected were analysed using weighted mean and Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC). The findings revealed that both the quality of library aesthetics and the level of librarians’ service delivery in federal university libraries in the Niger Delta Region, Nigeria, are high. It also showed a very strong positive relationship between library aesthetics and librarians’ service delivery. The findings highlight the importance of the visual outlook of the library environment in influencing the level of effectiveness of librarians’ service delivery within the university library settings. The study recommended, among others, that management of university libraries should recognise and prioritise library aesthetics as a key environmental factor essential for creating a conducive and inspiring atmosphere for both library staff and students.

    Usage of Solar Inverter Technology as Alternative Energy Source: A Catalyst for Round the Clock Electronic Services in Nigerian University Libraries
    (Imformation Impact, 2021) Ogo, Emuejevoke P.; Omosekejimi, Ademola F.; Ebhonu, Sylvester I.
    This study examines usage of solar-inverter technology as alternative energy source: a catalyst for round the clock electronic services in Nigerian university libraries. The total population for this study comprised three hundred and seventy one (371) librarians from 40 university libraries in South West, Nigeria. The data collected were analyzed using simple percentage/frequency counts and weighted mean. Findings from this study reveale among others that the extent of librarians’ awareness of solarinverter technology as alternative sources of energy in university libraries in South West, Nigeria is very high; electronic reference service, online interlibrary loan service, online cataloguing and classification service, OPAC service, online current awareness service, electronic indexing and abstracting service, online selective dissemination of information service, e-mail service, electronic charging and discharging service among others are types of electronic services that can be provided round the clock in university libraries in South West, Nigerian using solar-inverter energy as alternative energy source and that the extent to which solar-inverter energy can be used as alternative energy source to power ICT equipments for electronic services in university libraries in South West, Nigeria is high among other findings. Recommendations made based on the findings of the study include: University library management should make it a point of duty and also take it as priority to allocate fund for the acquisition and installation of solar-inverter technology as this will help them fulfil the library goal of rendering round the clock electronic library services to their users among others.
