摘要
目的 本研究旨在调查尼日利亚公立大学中的促进条件(FCs)以及这些促进条件如何影响机构资源库(IR)的可持续性实践。研究对象包括尼日利亚各地拥有机构资源库的公立大学的 542 名图书馆员。使用山根太郎公式确定了 230 名图书馆员的样本量。研究采用多阶段抽样技术,分三个阶段选择受访者,即目的抽样、分层抽样和有目的抽样。数据收集采用了结构化的有效问卷。研究结果表明,功能界别的可用性(ßea = 0.459,t(211) = 7.719,p = 0.000)对尼日利亚公立大学图书馆投资者关系的可持续性具有积极而重要的影响。F 检验(1,223)值为 59.582,表明有足够的证据证明该模型在解释投资者关系的可持续性方面是有用的。R2(0.211)表明,21.1%的投资者关系可持续性变化是由尼日利亚公立大学图书馆的功能界别可用性所解释的。这一结果表明,功能界 限的可用性是尼日利亚公立大学图书馆投资者关系可持续性的重要预测因素。结果还表明,在衡量功能界 限可用性的八个参数中,当前对 IR 的认识对 IR 可持续性具有积极而重要的影响。建议大学管理者制定促进IR可持续发展的政策,并提供充足的资金支持IR的可持续发展。此外,尼日利亚公立大学图书馆的管理人员应推动内容招聘,并在学生和教师中树立对IR的认识,以确保IR的持续使用。
Facilitating conditions and institutional repository sustainability by librarians in public university libraries in Nigeria
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the facilitating conditions (FCs) and how these FC affect institutional repository (IR) sustainability practices in public universities in Nigeria.
Design/methodology/approach
A survey research design was adopted in this study. The study population comprised 542 librarians from public universities that have IRs across Nigeria. A sample size of 230 librarians was determined using Taro Yamane’s formula. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the respondents in three stages, which were purposive, stratified and purposive sampling. A structured, validated questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential (simple and multiple regression) statistics at a 5% level of significance.
Findings
The result revealed that the availability of FCs (ßeta = 0.459, t(211) = 7.719, p = 0.000) has a positive and significant influence on IR sustainability in public university libraries in Nigeria. The F-test (1, 223) value of 59.582 shows that there is sufficient evidence to substantiate the model’s usefulness in explaining IR sustainability. The R2 (0.211) indicates that 21.1% of the variation in IR sustainability is explained by the availability of FCs in public university libraries in Nigeria. The finding suggests that the availability of FCs is a vital predictor of IR sustainability in public university libraries in Nigeria. The result also depicts that out of the eight parameters that measure the availability of FCs, it was current awareness of IR that had a positive and significant influence on IR sustainability.
Originality/value
This study concluded that ICT skills and FCs are contributory factors to IR sustainability practices by librarians in public university libraries in Nigeria. It was recommended that university administrators formulate policies that promote the sustainability of IR and provide adequate funds to support IR sustainability. Furthermore, the library management in public university libraries in Nigeria should drive content recruitment and create awareness of the IRs among students and faculty to ensure continued use.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
