More than 70 models in the last four decades on information seeking behavior have emerged. The models delineate the concepts from cognate subjects such as psychology and sociology. The authors made an analytical study of these models and identified many concepts of library and information science (LIS); from information processing and retrieval, reference service case studies and the evaluation experiments of information retrieval systems intrinsically are hidden in these models that have not been explicitly expounded as part of information seeking traits. The Chain Indexing devised by Ranganathan has an inclusive concept into information seeking with the phrase \"Sought Link\" to select the relevant subject heading(s) derived from the document(s) for indexing and to assign as the sought term(s) in the subject catalogue. Lancaster in the evaluation of MEDLARS identified phrases; serendipity and novelty ratio in response to users queries to the system. The paper after an in depth study of these ideas and with an analytical review of the models implies many of the classical concepts from LIS are implicit-in information seeking patterns of users. The paper conjures up to investigate them in the models of information seeking behavior as pragmatic rather only on user perceptions.","PeriodicalId":39917,"journal":{"name":"International Information and Library Review","volume":"7 1","pages":"266 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79468677","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}

Library services are expected to bridge the gap in access to information created by geographical barriers, and the lack of technological/digital infrastructure in rural areas to improve information literacy skillset of the locals. This study ascertains the functionality (as in the provision of information services) of the public libraries in rural areas where local patrons are supposed to enjoy undeterred library services. In conducting the study, the survey design was adopted, a questionnaire constructed and 115 library staff was drawn as sample. Based on the perception of library staff, results showed a poor state of preservation of information resources, with an apparent inadequacy. There were indications that information services are currently under-utilized by patrons based on the observed frequency of patronage. The only services offered in abundance were book borrowing and support for school reading programs. Little or no substantial career information counseling/guidance, information support for skill acquisition, Internet, e-books and agricultural extension services were offered. This may have allegedly daunted the goal of the public (rural) libraries in this region, the eagerness of locals for a possible nexus with the public libraries and have also impacted their information seeking habits. These events may have been modulated by the lack of adequate Internet facilities coupled with poor reading habits, poor electricity supply and underfunding among others. Useful recommendations like adequate funding, training of staff, how to improve information services and encourage patronage were offered accordingly.","PeriodicalId":39917,"journal":{"name":"International Information and Library Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"341 - 353"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89878241","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}

This study adopts a qualitative approach to explore the readiness of academic librarians in curbing fake news. Data was drawn from interviews with reference library staff and head librarians who were purposively selected from 12 academic libraries and evaluated through the lens of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions [IFLA] guide on ‘how to spot fake news’. The study revealed that although academic librarians were aware of fake news, they do not grasp the complexity and intricacies of the phenomenon. Therefore, the study recommends regular on-the-job training for academic librarians in identifying fake news. The Library and Information Science departments of universities in Ghana should review their curriculum to include training and education on problematic information. There should be collaboration between libraries and social media organization on curbing fake news. We support the call for information literacy, critical thinking and media literacy instructions to be embedded in all subjects with academic librarians as co-instructors.","PeriodicalId":39917,"journal":{"name":"International Information and Library Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77641784","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}

There seems to be a gap in literature on the actual level of self-efficacy of librarians and job performance. The survey research design of the correlational type was adopted for the study. Total enumeration method was used to cover all the 364 librarians in university librarians in south-west, Nigeria. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire titled: Self-efficacy and Job Performance of Librarian’s Scale (SEJPLS). The instruments were validated using construct and face validity. Cronbach’s alpha test was used to determine the reliability of the main constructs. Level of self-efficacy α = 0.668 and level of job performance α = 0.973. A total of 277 copies of the questionnaire (76.1%) were returned. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for analyzed. The findings showed that self-efficacy of librarians was rated high (68.4%) while verbal/social persuasion was the most exhibited source of self-efficacy among librarians (mean = 11.5). finally, there was no significant relationship between self-efficacy and job performance (r = 0.04, p › .05). the study, concluded that even though there is a positive relationship between self-efficacy (r = .039) and job performance of librarians. There was no significant association of librarians’ self-efficacy and their job performance. It is, therefore, recommended that institutional support is critical for effective job performance among librarians.","PeriodicalId":39917,"journal":{"name":"International Information and Library Review","volume":"57 1","pages":"325 - 340"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75013471","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}
