  • The aim of this paper was to determine the utilization of online information resources by undergraduate students in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. It was undertaken specifically with the objectives of identifying the online information resources used; academic purposes for their use, extent, problems and strategies for improving the academic use of the resources by undergraduate students. Descriptive survey was used as the research design. The population of this study comprises of all 25,657 regular registered undergraduate students in University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The sample for this study comprises 2500 students which is 10% of the population. The results of the study shows that most of the online information resources are not used by the undergraduate students. Just a few of them are highly used. Some of the academic purposes for the use of the resources include to do course assignment and project works and to stay up-to-date on social events. The major problems responsible for the low utilisation of the resources include incessant power failure, limited available computers in the university library, and server's low bandwidth. Based on the findings, maintenance of uninterrupted power supply, provision of enough computers in the library; constant upgrade of server's bandwidth and many more were recommended as the strategies for improving the use of online information resources by undergraduate students in UNN. The implication of this study lies in the fact that solutions to the problems raised would be helpful to the university management, librarians and students in ensuring maximum and adequate provision and effective utilisation of online information a resources in the library.

  • The study examined information retrieval tools as predictors for information resources utilization, four research questions, and four hypotheses were made to guide the study. A descriptive survey was adopted for the study. Random sampling technique was used to select sample of 393 from a population of 557 academic staff registered in the University of Port Harcourt library. The questionnaire was adopted as a data collection instrument titled Information retrieval as predictors for information resources utilization (IRPIRUQ). Data were analyzed using both simple and multiple regression while analysis of variance (ANOVA) associate with regression was used for testing the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The study revealed that information resources are under utilized as the OPAC and Online Databases are not easily accessed. Further findings showed that the academic staff made use of internet search engines more often than the OPAC and online databases. It was recommended among others that a new library software be installed in place of KOHA for wider connectivity and adequate distribution of software that will aid usage of the online databases and OPAC.

  • 사회적 기업은 경제적 목적과 사회적 목적을 동시에 달성해야 하는 이중적 구조로 인해 높은 비용구조와 비효율적 운영, 대부분 인적 자원과 물적 자원이 부족한 상태에 놓여 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 사회적 기업 간의 자원 및 정보 공유 등의 협업은 중요한 관리적 문제로 주목받고 있다. 이러한 사회적 기업 간의 공동 프로젝트 추진, 자원 부족(자금, 기술, 인력, 장비 등)의 문제 해결, 기업간 의사소통 채널 구축 및 유기적 정보공유 등을 원활하게 지원하는 수단으로서 온라인 플랫폼(online platform)의 구축 및 운영이 중요시되고 있다. 이러한 배경에 따라 본 연구는 사회적 기업의 협업을 지원하는 온라인 플랫폼의 요구특성이 기업의 특성(일반 특성, 협업 특성)에 따라 어떻게 달라지는가를 실증적으로 규명한 결과, 규모에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 차이가 존재하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 향후 국내 사회적 기업의 협업 지원 온라인 플랫폼의 관리방안 도출, 플랫폼을 이용한 협업 증대 방안 모색 등에 있어서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Background: Many patients use online resources to educate themselves on surgical procedures and make well-informed healthcare decisions. The aim of our study was to evaluate the quality and readability of online resources exploring shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: An internet search pertaining to shoulder arthroplasty (partial, anatomic, and reverse) was conducted using the three most popular online search engines. The top 25 results generated from each term in each search engine were included. Webpages were excluded if they were duplicates, advertised by search engines, subpages of other pages, required payments or subscription, or were irrelevant to our scope. Webpages were classified into different source categories. Quality of information was assessed by HONcode certification, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria, and DISCERN benchmark criteria. Webpage readability was assessed using the Flesch reading ease score (FRES). Results: Our final dataset included 125 web pages. Academic sources were the most common with 45 web pages (36.0%) followed by physician/private practice with 39 web pages (31.2%). The mean JAMA and DISCERN scores for all web pages were 1.96±1.31 and 51.4±10.7, respectively. The total mean FRES score was 44.0±11.0. Only nine web pages (7.2%) were HONcode certified. Websites specified for healthcare professionals had the highest JAMA and DISCERN scores with means of 2.92±0.90 and 57.96±8.91, respectively (P<0.001). HONcode-certified webpages had higher quality and readability scores than other web pages. Conclusions: Web-based patient resources for shoulder arthroplasty information did not show high-quality scores and easy readability. When presenting medical information, sources should maintain a balance between readability and quality and should seek HONcode certification as it helps establish the reliability and accessibility of the presented information. Level of evidence: IV.

  • 본 논문은 임상의사가 환자치료 시 발생하는 문제를 해결하기 위해 온라인상에서 정보검색하는 과정을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 국내 대학병원 내과 전문의 10명을 대상으로 관찰조사와 심층면담을 수행하였다. Wilson의 문제 해결 모형을 기반으로 임상의사가 임상질문 해결을 위해 온라인상에서 검색하는 단계별 특성과 정보검색의 효용성에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 임상의사는 사전 배경지식을 바탕으로 즉각적인 임상질문을 구성하지만, 실제 검색에서는 대부분 기본 검색전략만 사용하였으며, 본인에게 익숙한 특정 정보원만을 선호하였다. 하지만, 온라인 정보검색 평균 만족도는 7점 리커트 스케일 기준 5.7로 높게 나타났으며, 정보검색 후에 문제해결지수가 상승하였다. 임상의사는 잘 정리된 근거 중심의 신뢰성 높은 정보를 빠르고 쉽게 이용하기를 원하기 때문에 환자 진료시스템에서 바로 치료에 필요한 정보를 보여줄 수 있는 검색시스템의 연계가 필요함을 알 수 있다. 또한, 구글이나 PubMed 외에 다른 온라인 정보원에 대한 인지도는 현격히 낮게 나타나 다른 정보원에 대한 적극적인 홍보와 정보활용교육의 활성화도 필요함을 알 수 있다.

  • Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and evaluate discovery layer search tools for retrieval of legal information in Indian law libraries. This paper covers current practices in legal information retrieval with special reference to Indian academic law libraries, and analyses its importance in the domain of law.Design/Methodology/Approach. A web survey and observational study method are used to collect the data. Data related to the discovery tools were collected using email and further discussion held with the discovery layer/ tool /product developers and their representatives.Findings. Results show that most of the Indian law libraries are subscribing to bundles of legal information resources such as Hein Online, JSTOR, LexisNexis Academic, Manupatra, Westlaw India, SCC web, AIR Online (CDROM), and so on. International legal and academic resources are compatible with discovery tools because they support various standards related to online publishing and dissemination such as OAI/PMH, Open URL, MARC21, and Z39.50, but Indian legal resources such as Manupatra, Air, and SCC are not compatible with the discovery layers. The central index is one of the important components in a discovery search interface, and discovery layer services/tools could be useful for Indian law libraries also if they can include multiple legal and academic resources in their central index. But present practices and observations reveal that discovery layers are not providing facility to cover legal information resources. Therefore, in the present form, discovery tools are not very useful; they are an incomplete and half solution for Indian libraries because all available Indian legal resources available in the law libraries are not covered.Originality/Value. Very limited research or published literature is available in the area of discovery layers and their compatibility with legal information resources.

  • This research investigates the availability of information resources for visually impaired students in University libraries in Nigeria; a tool for inclusive University education. A Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study and a total number of 20 University libraries took parts in the study. A self-constructed online questionnaire was designed and distributed to collect the data from respondents (librarians) using a simple random sampling technique. A total of 45 respondents filled out the online questionnaire, but 40 were valid and useful for analysis. The use of frequency count and percentages method of data analysis was adopted for this research work. The study reveals that most of the University libraries lacked information resources for visually impaired students, it was found that the inclusion of information resources for visually impaired persons will promote inclusive education and librarians' skills. The challenges hindering the availability of information resources to the visually impaired students are insufficient funds for maintenance, erratic power supply and inadequate skills by users, among others. Recommendations were made for the campaign for inclusive education and the provision of information resources for visually impaired students.
