摘要

尼日利亚公共图书馆的使用人数近年来有所下降,急需振兴。外联工作将重振尼日利亚大学生对公共图书馆的兴趣,因为他们需要获得资源,特别是在假期。该研究调查了尼日利亚用于振兴公共图书馆赞助的外展计划。本研究采用描述性调查研究设计。调查对象包括3457名阿德利克大学本科生。采用描述性统计对数据进行分析。调查结果显示,尼日利亚的公共图书馆没有被阿德利克大学的本科生充分利用。这种低惠顾可能是由于外联工作不力、技术过时、距离遥远、设施不足和道路网络不健全。开发和制作图书馆移动应用程序、提供免费互联网接入、虚拟现实服务、举办健康讲座、免费流媒体服务以及提供动能自行车为手机充电等外展项目,可以有效地重振公共图书馆的赞助。因此,该研究建议将推广工作纳入公共图书馆的举措中,以吸引年轻用户。这包括更新公共图书馆老化的技术,特别是将移动应用程序纳入其运营。

Outreach Programs Revitalizing the Patronage of Public Libraries in Nigeria
abstract:Patronage of public libraries in Nigeria has declined over the years and is in urgent need of revitalization. Outreach efforts would revitalize the interest of university students in the patronage of public libraries in Nigeria because they need access to resources, especially when on holidays. The study investigates the outreach programs used to revitalize the patronage of public libraries in Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was utilized in the study. The population comprised a sample of 3,457 Adeleke University undergraduates. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that public libraries in Nigeria are underutilized by Adeleke University undergraduate students. This low patronage may be ascribed to poor outreach efforts, outdated technology, distance, inadequate facilities, and a poor road network. Outreach programs such as developing and producing library mobile applications, providing free internet access, virtual reality availability, hosting health talks, free streaming services, and making kinetic bikes available to charge phones can be effective in revitalizing public library patronage. As a result, the study suggests that outreach efforts be included in public library initiatives to engage younger users. This includes updating the public library's aging technology, notably by incorporating mobile applications into its operations.
