Attitude of Health Information Management Professionals, towards the Utilization of Electronic Medical Records in General Hospitals, Abuja, Nigeria
(LEAD CITY INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION SCIENCES [LCIJLICS], 2024) Abolade, Busayo. O.
The use of electronic medical records (EMRs) is gradually becoming widespread in Nigeria but many hospitals that have implemented Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are not enjoying the full benefits of these systems. This study examined the influence of Health Information Management Professionals (HIMPs)’ attitude towards the utilization of EMRs in general Hospitals, Abuja. Adapted questionnaire hinged on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used for data collection and the sample size was one hundred and twenty-three (123) HIMPs. The data collected was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate a significant relationship between HIM professionals’ attitudes and the utilization of electronic medical records (EMR). Specifically, the data showed a moderately strong positive correlation (R = 0.686) between HIM professionals’ attitudes and EMR utilization, meaning that as attitudes improved, the use of EMR tends to increase. This suggests attitudes play a substantial role in determining the extent to which EMRs are utilized in healthcare settings. The study recommends priorities are given to periodic evaluation, effective training and motivation of HIMPs.

(LEAD CITY INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION SCIENCES [LCIJLICS], 2024) Oluwabunmi D. BAKARE-FATUNGASE; Sudetu OSENI
The management of information across organizations have shifted from the traditional methods to the digital space and this has been necessitated due to the infusion of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). This has become an important tool in the form of Electronic Records Management System (ERMS) for the day-to-day running of the office environment across organizations of which offices in tertiary institutions are not an exception. However, the reverse is the case in most public tertiary institutions in Nigeria which are still grabbling with the old order of managing its records. It is based on this premise that this study investigated the impact of using ERMS on the performance of administrative staff across the public polytechnics in Edo state, Nigeria. The Study adopted a positivist research paradigm and a quantitative research approach. Study population was 245 administrative staff while stratified sampling technique was used to select a sample of 74. Adapted Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) research instrument was administered to users which revealed administrative staff of public polytechnics in Edo State have accomplished a lot as a result of the use of ERMS. Computer/internet as well as technical assistants are available within the institutions to support administrative staff in the use of ERMS in case of any system malfunction or physical support. The study concluded that the availability of the facilities in these institutions and the ability of office managers to use the facilities had a great impact on their performance.

(LEAD CITY INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION SCIENCES [LCIJLICS], 2024-07) Ayantoro D. Quadri; Sophia V. Adeyeye
The interplay between self-concept and job satisfaction among office information managers warrants significant attention due to its potential implications for individual well-being and organizational effectiveness. This study examined the influence of self-concept on job satisfaction of office information managers in Private Universities, Ibadan, Oyo State. The study is a survey. The populations consist of 130 office information managers from six private universities in Ibadan. Total enumeration was used to sample all the 130 respondents. Data was collected using questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found a very high job satisfaction level (Mean=3.9) and a moderate self-concept (Mean=2.7) among respondents. The test of hypothesis showed that self-concept has no significant influence on job satisfaction (Adj.R2= 0.026, 1,103) =2.699, p=.103b). The study concluded that by shedding light on these dynamics, this article provides valuable insights for organizational leaders, human resource practitioners, and office information managers themselves, enabling them to leverage self concept principles to cultivate a fulfilling and rewarding work experience. It therefore recommends Universities should encourage self-awareness and self-development among office information managers. Providing opportunities for personal and professional growth, mentorship programs, and self-confidence-building initiatives can help strengthen their self-concept.

This research evaluates the factors impactingthe adoption of ChatGPT for academic support and enhanced learning among postgraduate students. The research was guided by two objectives and seven hypotheses. The modified Technology Acceptance Model (m-TAM) was used as the theoretical lens of the research. A quantitative approach was employed and 120 postgraduate students were sampled from172 postgraduate students of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Sa’adu Zungur University Gadau, Bauchi Statethat formed the population of the research. Crejcie and Morgan's Table of sample size was used in determining the minimum sample size of 118 respondents and were drawn using a simple random sampling technique. Questionnaireswere used as an instrument for data collection. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling and Statistical Package for Social Sciences wereused in analysing the data. Findings revealed that the level of adoption of ChatGPT by the students is partial.Furthermore, out of the seven factors, six are positively significant in impacting the adoption of ChatGPT by postgraduate students with the security and privacy factor recording the highest impact of a P value of 0.000 while the perceived ease of use factor recorded the lowest impact of P values of 0.015. These findings will contribute by guiding the students and ChatGPT providerson what can influence and enhance the utilisation of ChatGPT so that its benefit can be obtained adequately. It is recommended that students and ChatGPT providers should pay serious attention to these factors found influential in the adoption and use of ChatGPT.
EXPLORING INFORMATION LITERACY TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN NIGERIA
(LEAD CITY INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION SCIENCES [LCIJLICS]., 2024-07) Adedayo T. Akinyemi; Sunday Tunmibi
Information literacy is a critical skill in today's knowledge-driven world, and its significance is magnified in the context of sustainable development. This paper explores the information literacy towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Nigeria. Information literacy empowers individuals to access, evaluate, and utilize information effectively, which is pivotal for making informed decisions and fostering sustainable development. In Nigeria, a country with diverse challenges and opportunities, information literacy plays a central role in addressing the complex issues outlined in the SDGs. As Nigeria strives to achieve the SDGs, information literacy must be integrated into national development strategies. Enhancing information literacy skills across all sectors of society will empower individuals to make informed decisions, contribute to economic growth, and participate meaningfully in the democratic process. Furthermore, information literacy is a key driver for innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development, aligning with the broader global goals of leaving no one behind and creating a more just, equitable, and sustainable world. It was highly recommended that, government should collaborate with educational authorities to integrate information literacy into the national curriculum from primary to tertiary levels. Government should provide training and professional development opportunities for educators to enhance their own information literacy skills and teaching methods. They should equip teachers with resources and tools to incorporate information literacy into their classrooms effectively.
