- "Good health is an indispensable prerequisite for the socio-economic development of any country. The increasing number of health related problems among young adults in Nigeria warrants urgent and special attention. This study, therefore focused on health information needs and utilisation among young adults. Correlational research design was adopted for this study using descriptive survey method. Questionnaires were designed and used as survey instruments. The target population for this study were young undergraduates within the ages of 16-24 years. Federal University of Agriculture and Crescent University were selected because they are the two universities within the city of Abeokuta. The study used 25% of undergraduate students from each of the 35 departments that made up 8 colleges in the two universities for the study. Hence, the sample size for this study was 1,745 young adults. A total number of 1,745 copies of questionnaire were administered to the respondents. This study finds that nutrition ranked highest, followed by water treatment, sanitation and diagnosed medical condition among the health information needs of the young adults. Young adults also need health information to avoid unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion and HIV/AIDS infection. Access to health information was mostly through textbooks and newspapers/magazines. In addition, the study finds that they also had access to electronic media like radio, television, Internet and GSM mobile phones. This study finds that religious beliefs against the use of drugs ranked highest among the problems that hinder effective health information utilisation among young adults in Nigeria. Conclusion was drawn based on the findings and recommendations were proffered." 1 results 1

- Background: Breast cancer is a disease of public health importance. It results in high morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The high morbidity and mortality from breast cancer can be decreased by measures targeted at early detection such as screening. Breast examination as a screening tool for breast cancer in developing countries is advocated in view of its cost-effectiveness. Method: The article selection method was obtained from primary and secondary literature sources which included original research articles, case control studies, review articles, proceedings, transactions and textbooks. The authors cited a clinical audit and articles published between 1988 and 2011. The search strategy included the use of internet search engines. This review was part of a larger research and the study protocol was approved by University of Ibadan/University College Hospital, Ibadan Institutional Review Board (UI/UCH-IRB). Clinical trial registration number: NHREC/05/01/2008a. Results: Breast self-examination (BSE) and clinical breast examination (CBE) as screening tools for breast cancer were analysed in detail. Conclusion: Breast examination is a screening tool that is cost-effective and reliable and should be encouraged in resource-constrained countries. Given the high cost and expertise required for mammography, current efforts at screening for breast cancer in developing countries should rely more on a combination of BSE and CBE 1 results 1

- Distance Learning programmes would simply become impossible tasks without information and communication technologies (ICTs) as well as internet based instructional strategies. These programmes are characterized by learner- centredness, life-long learning, independent learning and recognition of prior learning. Although, the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre (UIDLC) is well known for the use of ICTs, more advanced technologies are not prevalent feature of the programmes. This study therefore assessed the level of utilisation of ICTs and internet facilities in the University of Ibadan Distance Learning programmes with respect to their availability and adequacy. The Input- Process- Output evaluation model was employed to guide the study. A sample of 200 participants, selected through multistage sampling procedure was involved in the study. Three research questions guided the study. One validated instrument was used to collect data and its reliability index was 0.86. Data was analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. In terms of availability, usability and adequacy of Information and Communication Technologies: Radio programme service 147(73.5%); Overhead projector 105(52.5%); Video tapes 147(73.5%); Audio tapes 119(59.5%);Computers 145(72.5%); Internet facilities 175(87.5%) and Electronic board 118(59%) were available and in use in the programme, while Interactive television programme service 13(6.5%); Fibre optics 59(29.5%) and Electricity supply were in short supply in the programme. The distance learning institution (UIDLC) is striving to make use of ICTs and Internet facilities on its programmes. However, impact of ICTs goes wider than just the structure and presentation of courses, it must also aim at improving teaching-learning resources, 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

- Education is an asset that an individual must possess and acquire because it is an instrument par excellence for national development. The use of Information and Communication Technology has advanced the education sector in Nigeria mostly in tertiary institutions as a result of information provision. This study therefore investigates ICTs use and library information resources in enhancing a sustainable educational development in the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Survey research method was adopted for the study; undergraduate students of University of Ibadan were selected for this study. Data collected were analyzed using frequency count, analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression and correlation statistical tool to test for the relative contribution and the significant relationship between ICTs use, library information resources to the prediction of sustainable educational development tested at 5% level of significance. The results revealed that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has contributed to the development of education in the study area with Computer (Laptop) 341(97.7%) which ranked highest. The findings also revealed that the use of library information resources by the undergraduates was very highly utilized with textbook 219 (62.8%) which ranked highest. The findings reveal that reading for examination 349(100.0%) was the major purpose of using information resources by the undergraduate. It also revealed limited number of computers 314(90.0%) as one of the major constraints of information resources utilisation in the university. The study revealed that there was a significant combined effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable, (F (2,346) = 7.724, P<0.05). It also revealed that information resources use (Beta = .203, t=3.860, p<0.05) and ICT use (Beta =.149, t=1.515, p>0.05) are potent predictor factors of educational development. It further revealed that information resources use (r =.201**, p<0.05) and ICT use (r =-. 147**, p<0.05) positively correlated to the prediction of educational development of students. The study recommended that government should make computer and internet facilities available at all levels of our educational system as this is expected to improve the academic performance of students in our higher institutions. 1 results 1

- Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are important tools for development. Despite its significant growth on a global scale, Internet access is limited in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Few studies have explored Internet access, use of electronic resources and ICT training among health information professionals in Africa. The study assessed Internet access, use of electronic resources and ICT training among health information professionals in SSA. A 26-item self-administered questionnaire in English and French was used for data collection. The questionnaire was completed by health information professionals from five Listservs and delegates at the 10th biannual Congress of the Association of Health Information and Libraries in Africa (AHILA). A total of 121 respondents participated in the study and, of those, 68% lived in their countries’ capital. The majority (85.1%) had Internet access at work and 40.8% used cybercafes as alternative access points. Slightly less than two-thirds (61.2%) first learned to use ICT through self-teaching, whilst 70.2% had not received any formal training in the previous year. Eighty-eight per cent of respondents required further ICT training. In SSA, freely available digital information resources are underutilized by health information professionals. ICT training is recommended to optimize use of digital resources. To harness these resources, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations must play a key role. 1 results 1

- Information is widely available these days, not only in libraries but also on the internet. From preliminary investigation, most students in higher institutions use Information without proper paraphrasing and acknowledgement to authors. This is a complex issue that could result in plagiarism which needs to be fixed. The study therefore examined awareness and compliance to Information ethics by undergraduate students in University of Ibadan, Nigeria. The population for the study comprised 12,178 undergraduates from the thirteen Faculties in University of Ibadan as at 2016/2017 academic Session. Data was collected from 214 undergraduates selected with the use of two-stage sampling technique in the University of Ibadan. Structured questionnaire with reliability co-efficient of r=0.78 was used to elicit responses from the respondents. Frequency counts, percentage, mean and Standard deviation was used to provide answer to the three research questions raised for the study. Findings revealed a moderate level of compliance with Information ethics, most of the respondents indicated that they always try to avoid plagiarism while using intellectual property; most of the respondents occasionally observe every bit of the ethical Standards that guides the use of intellectual property and further the main reasons for non-compliance with Information ethics. The study recommends that more enlightenment of the undergraduate students on ethical Standards of intellectual property utilisation should be put in place in order to totally eradicate plagiarism and enhance knowledge infrastructure development in Nigeria. 1 results 1
