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.Item Citation Analysis of Library and Information Science Undergraduates’ Projects in Kwara State University, Malete (2013-2018)(IAIN Palu, 2024-03-24) Abdullahi Maito Rasaq; Abdulkadir Olalekan Yusuf; Silifat Ranti Nuhu; Abdullahi Muhammed IbrahimCitation analysis of Library and Information Science undergraduates’ research projects in Kwara State University, Malete (2013-2018).

Oguntayo; Usman Ajisafe SaliuThis study examined the factors affecting the utilization of e-resources by undergraduate students in selected universities in Kwara State, Nigeria. It raised five (5) research questions and formulated two (2) hypotheses, adopting descriptive survey design, where questionnaire was used to collect data. The population for this study was university undergraduates in Kwara State with population of 53,130. However, the study sample comprises: University of Ilorin, 292(76.4%), Kwara State University, Malete 69(18.1%) and Al-Hikmah University, 21(5.5%). Simple random sampling technique was adopted to allow for equal chance of arriving at the selected respondents. The research questions were analyzed with descriptive statistics of frequency counts and simple percentage while the hypotheses were tested with PPMC, and t-test. Out of the 382 copies of the questionnaire administered on the respondents in the three universities, only 369 copies were retrieved from which only 358 copies were found to be duly completed and usable for the analysis. The findings of the study revealed that out of all the e-resources available in these university libraries, the most common one was the Internet resources, followed by online databases. Younger students were found to be ardent users of e-resources compared to older students and also exhibited some form of mastery and technical know-how well above those of older students. On ICT skills as predictors of e-resources utilization, competence and dexterity in ICT were essential requirements for the use of computers. Therefore, the study recommended that the undergraduate students should be sensitized on available e-resources in the library, be trained more on their ICT skills in order to propel them to make better utilization of e-resources towards their academic and other information needs. In contrast, the library management should carry out advocacy campaigns that will focus on older students in order to ensure that they consult e-resources like the younger ones do.Item Entrepreneur Skills as Determinants to Job Opportunities Among LIS Postgraduate Students in University Of Ilorin(Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2021-07) Silifat Ranti Nuhu; Najeebat Opeyemi Abdulraheem; Abubakar Hajarah; Kabir SulaimanAbstract Entrepreneurial skills equip students with abilities that increase their employment potential and include: the abilities to solve problems, to develop social interaction, abilities to find information and to handle it for decision making, planning, communication and presentation skills.
