| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the use of facilities and participation in Zoom meetings for professional development among librarians of universities in South-south, Nigeria. 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. | |
