    Citation analysis of Library and Information Science undergraduates’ research projects in Kwara State University, Malete (2013-2018). The population of the study consists of all the submitted undergraduates’ projects to the Department of Library and Information Science, Kwara State University, Malete from 2013-2018. From this population, a total of thirty-seven (37) final-year students’ projects of the Department were selected as the sample size of the study using the systematic sampling technique. Coding sheet was used to collect data. The frequency counts and simple percentages were used for the statistical analysis. The findings revealed that more than half of the citations in the projects were journal articles, one-third of the citations were conference papers, few of the citations were recent, there were no citations without author, and the highest number is seventy-seven (77) while the lowest citation in a project is eighteen (18). The following recommendations were made based on the findings. Final year students should be encouraged to consider more recent research for their projects, students should be advised cautioned against low citation as eighteen (18) in a research project, the university library should consider the acquisition and subscription to journals so as to aid the research of the students.

    Perceived Usefulness As A Determinant of E-book Usage by Postgraduate Students in Selected Universities in Southeast, Nigeria
    (Ilorin Varsity International Journal of Library & Information Science, 2023) Eromosele George Osas; Ambali Zainab Olanihun; Abdulrazaq Olanrewaju Mutalib; Abdullahi Maito Rasaq
    This examined the perceived usefulness as a determinant of e-book usage by postgraduate students in universities in South West, Nigeria. The descriptive survey design was adopted using a questionnaire, as an instrument for data collection from postgraduate students across three universities in South-West Nigeria. A content-related approach of validation was conducted to ensure the validity of the instrument while Cronbach alpha was used to test the reliability of the instrument which returned an r = 0.864. The population of the study comprised postgraduate students from the University of Ibadan (11,825), Ekiti State University (1,620), and Bowen University (55) respectively. The simple random sampling technique was adopted in selecting the three universities. Israel's(2009) sample size Model was used to arrive at three hundred and Ninety (390) respondents which represents the sample for the study. The findings from the study demonstrated that postgraduate students have a positive perception of the usefulness of e-books as they enhance academic performance effectiveness. The findings further revealed that postgraduate students can accomplish tasks very quickly, and provide up-to-date information resources. The study recommended that; university management should ensure that they subscribed to the appropriate online academic databases e.g., Ebscohost, ProQuest and ScienceDirect etc., to have access to up-to-date e-books and e-resources as a whole for the postgraduate students to have access to adequate information resources. Postgraduate students should embrace the use of electronic books for academic purposes such as using them to complement printed books, checking for the research topic and updating research work, preparing academic course work or reading, passing away leisure time (Novels and like), searching for academic information resources and many more.
