Resources For Teaching Information And

Communication Technology (ict) Related Courses In
Library Schools Within South East Nigeria
Register/Login to Access Full Work
Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the ICT resource availability necessary for teaching
ICT related courses in Library schools within South East Nigeria. This is with the aim of
finding out their problems and strategies for enhancement of teaching and learning. Six
objectives and six research questions guided the study. A descriptive survey design was
adopted in carrying out the work. Purposive sampling technique was used. The entire
population of fifty-one (51) respondents was used for the study. The instruments for data
collection were questionnaire and observation checklist. Fifty-one copies of the
questionnaire were distributed to the lecturers and ICT staff in the four Library Schools within
South East Nigeria with a 100% return rate. The following statistical measures were employed

for the data analysis: frequency table, simple percentage and mean (X). The results obtained
from the findings revealed that the extent to which ICT resources were used in the four
Library schools for the teaching of Library and Information Science (LIS) courses was seen to
be infrequent, that the frequency and percentage of the resources needed for the teaching of
ICT related courses in the four Library schools is high. Also, the ICT resources are available
in different proportions and/ or unavailable altogether. The respondents agreed with most of
the itemized problems affecting the availability of resources for the teaching of ICT related
courses in the four Library schools, that the lecturers and ICT staff in the four library schools
studied lack some basic ICT skills. Based on the research findings, it was recommended that
students should avail themselves of the available ICT resources in their institutions as a way
of enhancing their studies, learning and aiding retention. Better funding of ICT resources by
universities/government is necessary in the library schools and lecturers in Library schools
should have full ICT skill, especially in the areas of slide design and use of projectors as this
will promote learning and make it more permanent in students. Finally, there should be
adequate power supply and power back up as this is necessary for continuous ICT resources
usage.
