    Implications of inflationary trends on collection development at the University of Ilorin Library, 1976-1985, 2010-2014
    (2018) Omoniyi, Janet O.; Abdulraheem, Jamiu Wankasi
    This case study discussed inflation and its implication for collection development at the University of Ilorin Library in particular and academic Libraries in Nigeria. Documentary Research Method and Structured Oral Interview techniques were used to examine the records of budgetary allocations and expenditure in the acquisition of books and journals at the University of Ilorin Library between 2010 and 2014. The study identified some problems facing collection development at the university of Ilorin library as a result of inflationary trends. The study therefore posited that inflation-driven library collection development poses great danger to the quality of information resources of the library, the quality of information retrieval by library users, the quality of research and community service mantra of the university. It there recommended that collection development librarian should ensure balanced acquisition with the available funds. Rising number of academic programmes should be controlled in view of the fact that paucity of funds would not be able to go round the myriads of academic programmes satisfactorily. The Federal Government of Nigeria should checkmate inflationary phenomenon on library books and periodicals while textbook writers and publishers should focus more on producing local books/periodicals so that libraries and library clientele would be discouraged from patronizing the more expensive foreign publications.

    (2019-12) Adewara, Janet Oluseyi; Opele, Jacob Kehinde; Oyewumi, Fausat Ayobami; Abdulraheem, Jamiu Wankasi
    Crop farming is one of the leading agricultural practices all over the world. It is the major source of food and livelihood. However, farmers’ information behaviour directly or indirectly affects their quality of life which has been described as a concept of economics, sociology and political science which encompasses an individual’s spiritual (emotional), social and physical well-being. This study examined farmers’ information behaviour in relation to their quality of life. This study adopted a survey research design. The population for this study consists of 13,383 agronomists in the three Local Government Areas with the highest participation in crop farming in Kwara State. Proportionate sampling technique was used to determine the sample size for the study. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings from the study showed that agronomists in the study areas engaged in information behaviour activities that affected their quality of life. The study showed that information behaviour accounted for 50.1% of the total variance in agronomist’s quality of life in the study area. It revealed that frequency of information seeking (β = 0 .51, t = 7.72, p< 0.05) significantly contributed more to agronomist quality of life than information utilization (β= 0.24, t = 4.26, p< 0.05).However, information sources accessed (β= -0.02, t = -.25, p > 0.05) and methods of information retrieval (β= 0 .05, t = .70, p > 0.05) did not significantly contribute to agronomist quality of life. The study thus concluded that agronomists in the study areas engaged in information behaviour to a great extent and this positively impacted on their quality of life.
