- "Purpose – The purpose of this article is to analyse the content of the Nigerian School Library Journal (NSLJ) from 1979-2010. Design/methodology/approach – This study adopts a descriptive research approach by means of bibliometric analysis. The NSLJ was examined for subject coverage, geographic distribution of authors, country of origin of authors, publication output, collaboration among authors, international visibility, gender of authors, research type, and language of articles. The international visibility of the journal was investigated through the web-based version of Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory, Africa Journals Online (AJOL) and literature search. Findings – There have been nine issues since the first publication in 1979. The study discovered that NSLJ was not listed among the known LIS journals from Nigeria. The geographical distributions and nationality of the authors in NSLJ indicated that all the authors were Nigerians, and the level of collaboration among the authors was low (16.7 per cent) while single authors were many (83.3 per cent). The study revealed that most articles used the survey research design followed by historical strategies, literature review and case studies. Practical implications – The NSLJ does not have the visibility it needs internationally; therefore the editors could aim to index the journal in renowned abstracting services. NSLJ editions should aim to get published on time using a quality peer review process and the journal should be listed with AJOL because increasing the visibility of the journal would assist in increasing the journal’s quality. Originality/value – The study has identified gaps in promoting school library research from Nigeria internationally, and in the quality of Nigerian research that could be addressed by future studies " 1 results 1

- Access to higher education, in relation to the production cost, is a key policy issue in Nigeria. To realise the high developmental impact of higher education on the country, a good understanding of how higher education price is affected by production cost and subsidy is necessary. Previous studies have analysed pricing in federal universities without considering its relationship to production cost and subsidies. This study, therefore, investigated the extent to which production cost and subsidy affect pricing in higher education in Nigeria. The study adopted the survey research design of ex-post facto type. Ten federal, seven state and three private universities were purposively sampled. Out of 2000 students selected through stratified random sampling method, 1000 were from the federal universities while 700 and 300 were from state and private universities respectively. Two instruments were used for data collection - Student Questionnaire on Pricing and Subsidy (r=0.84) for students; and the Nigerian University Expenditure, Revenue and Student Enrolment Questionnaire (r=0.75) used on the 20 Bursars, 20 Registrars, 20 Directors of Academic Planning, and 20 Directors of Works of the twenty sampled universities. Supplementary information was also collected from the National Universities Commission (NUC), Abuja. Five research questions were answered and three hypotheses tested. Descriptive Statistics, t-test, Multiple Regression and Analysis of Variance were employed for data analysis. There were significant differences in production costs among the three classified universities (F(2,18) = 29.59, p < 0.05). Federal universities had an average production cost of N119,421 between years 2000 and 2006 while the corresponding figures for state and private universities stood at N45,845 and N248,849 respectively. Significant differences were also found in the level of subsidy in the universities (F(2,18)=8.935, p<0.05). Subsidy was highest in the federal universities and was in the ratio of 57:45:10 among the federal, state and private universities respectively. The students‘ perceived level of subsidy was about half of what was found in these universities. Cost and subsidy had positive joint UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN LIBRARY v correlation with price (R=0.97). Cost (β=0.93) made higher contribution to price than subsidy (β=-0.30). Price was inelastic with respect to production cost (ε=0.82) and subsidy (ε=-0.36). The coefficients showed that higher education prices were more responsive to changes in production cost than subsidy, suggesting that changes in production cost caused higher changes in price than changes in subsidy. Production cost was directly related to price. Subsidy was however inversely related to price but its size was not big enough to cause a reduction in price. Increasing the quantum of subsidies employed will therefore result in price reduction and consequently increase student enrolment. Thus, government should enhance private sector participation through tax-deductable subsidies to reduce prices. NUC should also resuscitate its publications of Annual Review and Annual Report to improve access to information on universities by researchers.

- 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

- Background: Childhood nephrotic syndrome, if left untreated, leads to progressive kidney disease or death. We quantified the prevalence of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, and histological types as the epidemiology of nephrotic syndrome in Africa remains unknown, yet impacts outcomes. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, African Journals Online, and WHO Global Health Library for articles in any language reporting on childhood nephrotic syndrome in Africa from January 1, 1946 to July 1, 2020. Primary outcomes included steroid response, biopsy defined minimal change disease, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) by both pooled and individual proportions across regions and overall. Findings: There were 81 papers from 17 countries included. Majority of 8131 children were steroid-sensitive (64% [95% CI: 63–66%]) and the remaining were steroid-resistant (34% [95% CI: 33–35%]). Of children biopsied, pathological findings were 38% [95% CI: 36–40%] minimal change, 24% [95% CI: 22–25%] FSGS, and 38% [95% CI: 36–40%] secondary causes of nephrotic syndrome. Interpretation: Few African countries reported on the prevalence of childhood nephrotic syndrome. Steroid-sensitive disease is more common than steroid-resistant disease although prevalence of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome is higher than reported globally. Pathology findings suggest minimal change and secondary causes are common. Scarcity of data in Africa prevents appropriate healthcare resource allocation to diagnose and treat this treatable childhood kidney disease to prevent poor health outcomes. Funding: Funding was provided by the Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) for the H3 Africa Kidney Disease Research Network. This research was undertaken, in part, from the Canada Research Chairs program. 1 results 1
- Background: The African continent is behind by a wide margin in the childhood vaccination race which contributes significantly to the high childhood morbidity and mortality rate from vaccine-preventable diseases in the continent. Some African countries are still struggling to achieve routine immunization coverage for all recommended expanded program on immunization vaccines. Aim: In this study, we aimed to identify the barriers hindering childhood immunization in Africa and to identify the remarkable progress made so far. Materials and Methods: Peer-reviewed articles published in English that focused on the barriers to childhood immunization in Africa and the progress made so far was reviewed. This was achieved by searching relevant search terms in PubMed, Google Scholar, Wiley Online Library, and CINAHL databases dating back from January 2000 to June 2022. Result: A total of 30 papers were reviewed. The barriers include parents’ education status, economic status, and gender/age; place of birth and place of residence; cultural beliefs and religious affiliations; fear of contracting diseases and lack of trust in health public institutions; vaccine awareness and delivery; and dose-specific delays. The achievements include international support and oriented actions, plans for technological integration and its implementation, and domestic immunization-oriented actions and research work. Conclusion: Childhood immunization is still low in Africa with the majority of the countries yet to realize the global immunization targets. Technologies and immunization-related interventions have been implemented to support Africa but more concerted effort and aid are required to reduce vaccine-preventable deaths to the bare minimum. 1 results 1
