Descriptive survey research was used for this study. Total enumeration sampling technique was adopted for the sampling procedure. This was chosen because of the small number of number of population of professional museum staff involved which is put at 784 as at 2012. Questionnaires were distributed to museum professionals at 16 museums, located in the South-West and North –Central geo-political zones of Nigeria to collect for the study. Questionnaires administered, the data collected were analysed with the use of statistics depicting the mean and standard deviation. Findings indicated the highest availability of e-readiness resources by respondents was the use of computer (Mean =2.55) and followed by use of e-mail (Mean =2.53), museum website (Mean=2.23), internet (Mean=2.20), the least was CD-Rom (mean =1.62) respectively. The overall result indicated that computer is the most available e-readiness resources use in museums.

In order to evaluate the perceived usefulness of information literacy skills and effectiveness of information literacy skills, two scales were adopted from the existing literature on the information literacy skills. Self-report instruments comprising the two scales as well as demographic items were incorporated into the online questionnaire. The study explored the respondents’ perceptions, usefulness and effectiveness of the information literacy skills at University of Malaya’s library among those who attended the information skills session in 2014/2015 academic session. To conduct this study, a cross-sectional survey design was carried out to answer the relevant research questions. The data have been generated from the online questionnaire of the sample size of this study. The analysis and interpretations of findings were entirely based on the feedback received from the respondents. This analysis has been conducted using the latest version (22 versions) of SPSS for window software. It is hoped that the management and library instructors of the University of Malaya should conduct a regular assessment of the usefulness and effectiveness of information literacy skills (ILS) among those who attended the training program in order to know whether the training program is perceived to be useful as well as effective in completing their academic activities. This can help the library staff to improve their teaching services. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Key words: information, literacy, skills, perceived, usefulness, effectiveness, University of Malaya library.","PeriodicalId":119573,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Library and Information Science","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134257416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through Dutch Joint Financing Programme for Cooperation in Higher Education (MHO) and other donors’ assistance, it established an ICT centre charged with, among other functions, initiation and development of information systems, including the Academic Register Information System (ARIS). Many challenges slowly cropped up and choked ARIS and other systems before implementation. This study was undertaken to ascertain and investigate issues that led to pre-implementation failure of information systems in one of Kenya’s public universities, using a case study of Moi University. This paper presents the views of Moi University’s ARIS and other Information System (IS) project participants on the factors that led to their systems’ failure to reach their operational phase. Although the findings may sound critical of certain aspects of IS and general organisational management at Moi University (MU), they provide real examples of what can happen to IS projects in practice. They provide valuable opportunities for learning, especially in typical sub-Saharan Africa’s public universities. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Pre-implementation failure, failure factors, information systems development, public university, Kenya.","PeriodicalId":119573,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Library and Information Science","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134422732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
