  • prediction of academic performance of the university students through their use of Library Electronic Resources and their self efficacy
    European Conference on Information Literacy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Tariq Mahmood Chohan, Rubina Bhatti, Salman Bin Naeem
    Abstract:

    The objective of the study was to assess the influence of students’ self-efficacy and their use of Electronic Resources on their academic performance. A survey was conducted in The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan in which 307 students participated from five different faculties. A questionnaire was developed to gather the data for this study on variables related to demographic information of the respondents, their use of ‘Library’s Electronic Resources’, ‘self-efficacy’, and ‘academic performance’. The results of the study concluded that the use of Library’s e-Resources has a significant influence on the academic performance of the students. However, it has a negative influence on students’ self-efficacy due to availability of wide ranging e-Resources. The results of the study also concluded that self-efficacy is not correlated with academic performance of the students, however, it is negatively correlated with the use of university Library’s e-Resources.

  • a study of availability and utilization of Library Electronic Resources by undergraduate students in private universities in ogun state nigeria
    International Journal of Library and Information Science, 2014
    Co-Authors: Ganiyu Oluwaseyi Quadri, Airen Adetimirin, Oluwafemi Adebayo Idowu
    Abstract:

    The degree of availability and utilization of e-Resources in any university Library may influence the information services provision to students. The main objective of the study was to investigate the availability and utilization of e-Resources by undergraduate in selected private university libraries in Ogun State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted and the study population consisted of 9700 undergraduates from Babcock and Redeemer’s universities. Simple random sampling was used to select a sample of 291 and the questionnaire was the main instrument used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS specifically descriptive statistics consisting of tables of frequency and percentage. The findings revealed that the Internet was readily available in Babcock (83.5%) and Redeemer (92.8%), while other e-Resources were not readily available. Most of the respondents in Babcock (64.0%) and Redeemer (89.1%) used the e-Resources for assignment and research/project. Poor Internet connectivity, lack of relevant e-Resources in various disciplines, erratic power supply, and lack of technical know-how were the major challenges faced by the respondents. The Internet and e-journals are important sources of information for both universities undergraduate students. Also, the availability and use of e-Resources has no doubt contributed meaningfully to the information acquisition for class work, assignment and research needs of the students.   Key words: Availability, utilization, Library, Electronic Resources, undergraduate students, private universities.
