Abstract

Abstract The study investigated the willingness of students to remotely tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries and the associated challenges. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The sample included 245 Adeleke University undergraduates. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that most patrons rarely use podcasts, with Spotify being the most popular among students. Students indicated that the campus news and information programme, library seminars, and user education would be their top choices for frequent listening. Students may be discouraged from utilizing library podcast programmes due to issues with internet access, a lack of finances to obtain data, and a time constraint. The study concluded that podcasts had potential for distant learners and that students would be ready to tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries, and therefore recommended that libraries in Nigeria begin to employ podcasts in airing library programmes and marketing library services.

播客图书馆服务后COVID-19大流行时代:远程学习者的潜力和挑战

摘要这项研究调查了学生远程收听图书馆播放的播客节目的意愿以及相关的挑战。本研究采用描述性调查研究设计。样本包括245名阿德利克大学本科生。使用描述性统计对数据进行分析。调查结果表明，大多数顾客很少使用播客，其中Spotify在学生中最受欢迎。学生们表示，校园新闻和信息节目、图书馆研讨会和用户教育将是他们经常收听的首选。由于互联网接入问题、缺乏获取数据的资金以及时间限制，学生可能会被劝阻使用图书馆播客节目。该研究得出结论，播客对远程学习者有潜力，学生们将准备好收听图书馆播放的播客节目，因此建议尼日利亚的图书馆开始在播放图书馆节目和营销图书馆服务时使用播客。
