    Purpose Funding issues is observed to be the major stumbling block for the development of digital libraries in Nigeria. Hence, this paper aims to explore issues in obtaining and allocating funds for digital library development. Design/methodology/approach The review is an explorative report of the state of affairs of digital library development in Nigeria with the associated fundraising issues. Findings Digital library initiatives are coincidental development with transformational change in the technology-driven world of global information distribution. The desire of the information users to have better-unrestricted access to information becomes the hallmark of digital content development and web-based information services. The goal of making information accessible globally to large and diverse information users was achievable with the development of a digital library that provides enhanced information services, improves access and usability of digital information resources. Originality/value The library of the future has already materialized in form of digital library services, but the cost of developing a digital library is not foreseeable cheap, and if Nigerian libraries are to achieve digital library service goal, alternative sources of finance need to be sought after through fundraising scheme from friends of the library, rental services, consultation fees and collaboration effort on library consortia as well as advocacy for open access initiatives.

    (WE - A Multidisciplinary and Multilingual Peer-Reviewed Research Journal, 2022-06) Martins Olanrewaju Atunde; Jamiu Wankasi Abdulraheem; Titilola Aminat Bayero Abdussalam; Abiodun Johnson Medupin; Janet Oluseyi Adewara
    The study looked into the connection between school-community synergism for resource development and library effectiveness in public secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was descriptive and correlational in scenery. Multi-stage sampling of stratified, purposive, proportional and random techniques was used to select 960 respondents in 60 public secondary schools. Data was collected with the use of School-community Synergism and Library Effectiveness Index Questionnaire (ScSLEIQ). Collected data were analysed with applicable statistical tools like mean and standard deviation, Pearson Production Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Regression Analysis. Result obtained revealed that, the overall extent of school-community synergism for resource development was low (grand mean scores 2.41), whereas the level of library effectiveness was moderate (grand mean scores 2.61). The study concluded that, school-community synergism in the development of resources contributed 58.2% (R =.582) to effectiveness of public secondary school libraries in Kwara State, Nigeria.

    Total Quality Management and Institutional Effectiveness: A Survey of Private Colleges of Education in Kwara State, Nigeria
    (IJER, 2023) Abdulganiyu Adebayo Tijani; Martins Olanrewaju Atunde; Johnson Abiodun Medupin; Jamiu Wankasi Abdulraheem; Ijeoma Charity Ogbudinkpa; Adenike Felicia Oyedele
    This quantitative study inquired into the association between total quality management and institutional effectiveness of private colleges of education in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was explanatory and correlational in nature. A sample of 736 study participants was sampled with multi-stage sampling procedure. Validated and trial tested instrument (r = .856) titled: “Total Quality Management and Institutional Effectiveness Questionnaire Index” (TQMIEQI) was used for data collection. Mean scores and linear regression analysis were appropriately applied in analyzing the three research questions raised for the study. Findings revealed that private COEDs practiced TQM to a moderate extent (CM = 3.02), while their level of effectiveness was also moderate (CM = 3.15). Findings further proved that, TQM sub-scales of quality organizational development (β = .380, P <0.05), internal-external appraisal (β = .358, P <0.05) and student-oriented focus (β = .338, P <0.05) were positively related to IE, even as quality-orientated leadership (β = -.081, P <0.05) had significant but negative correlation with IE. The study concluded that, if private COEDs aspire to attain high level effectiveness, all the four studied TQM sib-scales must be highly adopted and practiced. Key words: Institutional Effectiveness; Quality Internal-External Appraisal; Quality-Orientated Leadership; Quality Organizational Development; Quality Student-Oriented Focus
