    Academic Library Support in a Blended Learning Environment: The Place of Embedded Librarianship
    (2022-02-10) Oladokun, Taofeek Abiodun; Bakare-Fatugase, Oluwabunmi Dorcas; Jatto, Victor Omeiza
    Technology advancement has led to significant paradigm changes in education. The tradition face-to-face learning is now being supplemented, or in some case, replaced by virtual learning leveraging on modern information technology tools. This practice of mixing traditional and technology in teaching and learning is referred to as blended learning. Academic libraries as designated support institutions for academic activities are also expected to come up with strategies to ensure that both teachers and learners have the necessary support to effectively carry out their teaching, learning and research activities as usual. One of the strategies that have been suggested by scholars is embedded librarianship. This paper explores the strategies that can be adopted by librarians in Nigerian academic libraries to ensure that relevant library information resources and services to both students and lecturers, are embedded into the evolving learning environment for both lecturers and students in tertiary institutions.

    EVALUATION OF THE AVAILABILITY AND USE OF INFORMATION RESOURCES AND SERVICES BY SANDWICH STUDENTS: A CASE STUDY OF LEAD CITY UNIVERSITY, IBADAN, OYO STATE.
    (Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 2541., 2019-05-07) Adetunji, Albert O.; Oladokun, Taofeek Abiodun
    Part-time and Distance education is fast gaining global acceptance with millions of enrolments annually. Stakeholders have argued that, just like regular students, those who chose this mode of study deserve the highest quality services available. As a result, Library and Information service providers are seeking to understand this group of users in order to properly meet their information needs and design services that best fit their unique characteristics. The study thus examined the availability and use of Library and Information Services by Part-time, Students at Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria. A self administered questionnaire was used to gather data. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS for Windows Version 20. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data which yielded percentages, frequencies, means, and standard deviation that described the central tendency and sample distribution. The study found that, although they have diverse information needs, part -time students have limited access to the resources and services of the Lead City University Library and majority of them turn to other sources that are easily within reach like the internet. In the light of the findings, the study recommended that libraries should take the advantage of ICT in facilitating remote access to electronic format of books and journals and extend Information literacy services to part-time students.
