- "The challenges of ever-increasing demand for university education in the face of inadequate human and infrastructural resources and rapidly increasing population have necessitated distance learning programmes. This study evaluated Universities of Ibadan and adminstration of universities of Ibadan and Lagos distance learning programmes. Samples of 560 participants (400 distance learning students,80 academic and 80 non-academic staff of the programmes) were proportionally selected. One research question guided the research. Three validated instruments were used to collect data. Data were analysed using independent t-test. ULDLI was significantly better than UIDLC from the perspectives of studetns: (t=7.51, df=398,P<0.05) and teaching staff: {t=-5.69,df=78,P<0.05] while non-teaching staff of both institutions revealed that there was no significant difference in the quality of administration. The two institutions must aim at improving teaching-learning reseources, staff capacity development, learner support services, and increase the number of courses available to prospective candidates in order to position distance education in Nigeria for global competitiveness." 1 results 1

- Academic and administrative responsibilities assigned to junior academic staff though crucial to their career growth, are largely becoming challenging and inimical to their overall career achievements in Nigeria. Previous studies on career growth in the Nigerian university system have concentrated more on remunerations, job satisfaction and commitment, staff welfare and incentives, funding and retention, organisational climate and career pathways without adequate consideration for the combined predictive effects of personal and work-related factors. Therefore, this study examined the combined prediction of personal (emotional intelligence and gender) and work-related (work attitude, administrative responsibility and mentoring) factors on junior academic staff career growth (Readiness for Promotion (RP), Number of Publications (NoP), Regular Class Attendance (RCA), Teaching Ability (TA) and Self-confidence (SC)) in universities in Southwestern Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design was adopted. Equal allocation method and stratified random sampling techniques were used to select 1200 junior academic staff from 12 purposively selected universities (four each from federal, state and private). Junior Academic Career Growth Scale (r=0.78), Administrative Responsibility (AR) Inventory (r=0.81), Work Attitude (WA) Scale (r=0.85), Emotional Intelligence (EI) Scale (r=0.82) and Mentoring Scale (r=0.81) were used for data collection. These were complemented with four sessions of in-depth interview with four randomly selected junior academic staff in each of the 12 institutions; making a total of 48 sessions. One research question was answered and six hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were subjected to Pearson product movement correlation, multiple regression and content analysis. Personal and work-related factors had a joint significant prediction on junior academic staff career growth (JASCG) (F(5,1194) =116.47) and jointly accounted for 33.0% of its variance. Emotional intelligence (β=0.355), gender (β=0.128), AR (β=0.074), WA (β=0.056) relatively contributed to JASCG, while mentoring did not. Also, EI (r=0.531), gender (r=0.430), mentoring (r=0.416), WA (r=0.326) and AR (r=0.224) positively correlated with JASCG. Administrative responsibilities significantly correlated with the components of JASCG as follows: TA (r=0.218), NoP (r=0.145), RCA (r=0.132), SC (r=0.130), and RP (r=0.115); while work attitude correlated with the same components as ranked: NoP (r=0.338), SC (r=0.369), RP (r=0.343), RCA (r=0.295) and TA (r=0.265). Further, EI correlated with JASCG components in this order: NoP (r=0.047), SC (r=0.025), TA (r=0.025), RCA (r= -0.56), RP (r=-0.34). Mentoring also correlated with JASCG as ranked: NoP (r=0.209), TA (r=0.146), SC (r=0.143), RCA (r=0.135), RP (r=0.112). The junior academic staff can always cope with the rigour of academics and constantly experience ease career growth without much hindrance under good work environment, flexible work system, better mentoring system and high level of intelligence. Administrative responsibilities, work attitude, emotional intelligence and gender positively predicted the career growth of junior academic staff in universities in Southwestern Nigeria. There is, therefore, the need for the university management to provide enabling work environment that can enhance the right work attitude and emotional stability of the junior academic staff for them to perform optimally. In addition, there is the need to ensure an effective formal mentoring system and reduction of excessive workload. 1 results 1
- Academic are busy to participate in physical OHS training because of many engagements with their students, administrative work and community Service. As a result, they hardly find time to give proper attention to germane issues as their safety and Health. This then calls for the use of digital technology to organise OHS training as it is expected to help these busy group of people incorporate the training alongside their busy schedule. The study examined the perceived influence of digital technology on occupational health safety training among academic staff in Nigerian universities. Five specific objectives with corresponding research questions were achieved and answered. Descriptive survey research design was employed and convenience sampling technique through on-line questionnaire was used to obtain Information from the targeted respondents. One hundred well filled on-line surveys were analysed with the aid of descriptive statistics. The empirical findings indicated that the respondents expressed adequate knowledge about the occupation Health hazard associated with their profession but had low exposure to the application of digital technology such as 3D visualization and Virtual Reality (VR). The study revealed that the digital technology influenced Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training, but the academic staff encountered hindrances with the use of digital technology training for OHS training. It is concluded that digital technology played a vital role towards OHS training and there is a need for regular capacity programmes using digital technology tools which aimed at helping management to address OHS needs of academic staff 1 results 1

- All university libraries, in order to support the university's curriculum; to support the research of the university faculty and students; and for planning purposes, writes an annual report. This annual report gives details about the activities of the library in terms of, achievements (Success Stories), key statistics to back up claims, staff matters, challenges, among others, during the year under review. It is amazing that in practice this library culture is being eroded in new generation librarianship due to the fact that in the library school this practice is neither taught nor laid emphasis upon again while many professionals do not know how to gather the necessary data and write useful library report. Upon this backdrop this paper presented detail data gathering method for useful annual report writing. 4 The study adopted a narrative methodology while in the analysis of the study the data to be generated for library report was described to be the core functions of the university. The university library (i.e. Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan), over years, has been living up to expectation in this direction of generating these data. The data is to be used to write reports expected to highlight the activities of the entire university library system that occurred during the year under review. This strategic responsibility is a germane one for the university library in academic community, therefore, cannot be over emphasized. Some of the data were highlighted as Access and Collection Development (ACD); Community Engagement; Information Services regardless of their geographical locations; and strategic Academic Role. Suggested stages involved generally in report ivriting information flow includes: Set sectional/units' goals for the year and give brief description of how to achieve it; Make presentation at divisional/sectional/unit level, as the case may be, to review the set goals/objectives before commencing implementation; Commence implementation and meet, fortnightly/ monthly to present progress report, backed up with statistics; Hold quarterly meetings to present quarterly report of activities; At the end of the fourth quarter (i.e., July to September), collate the reports of the four (4) quarters and generate your annual report based on the statistics you have at your disposal; Call library management meeting for final presentation ofsections/units' reports by the divisional heads; The final collation of the reports is done by the administrative officer of the library who is the secretary at the library management meeting; The university librarian writes foreword and a covering memo attached to the report for onward submission to the university management. While the suggested outline for writing library annual reports includes: Introduction; State the major activities being carried out in the sections/units; Staff Affairs; State the set goals for the year as well as how to achieve it; Data presentation and analysis on quarterly basis and ensure that success stories are highlighted; Present challenges which are militating against the success of sections and units; Summary and recommendations. Annual report is an important document for research, planning and policy formulation for library and the university. 1 results 1
