    Challenges and Strategies to the Use of Institutional Repository among Academics Staff in Universities Libraries in South-West, Nigeria
    (2022-09-04) Sambo, Atanda Saliu; Okonoko Vera Ngozi; Akanbi Mohammed Lawal
    The purpose of this study is to identify the major challenges and strategies to using institutional repositories (IRs) among academic staff in university libraries in South-West Nigeria. A descriptive survey was employed in the study. The research population consist of 420 academic staff from six federal universities. A questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. The questionnaire was designed based on the objectives of the study. The results indicate that the major challenges to using IRs include poor ICT skills, unwillingness to deposit research materials, epileptic power supply, absence of IRs policy hindering the submission of content to the IRs, fear of copyrights infringement, financial constraints, lack of awareness of publishers policy as regards depositing published works in IR, fear of plagiarism, and low bandwidth. The results further revealed strategies to surmount the factors facing the IRs in universities are alternative power supply should be provided, management should endeavour to increase Internet bandwidth to enhance the effective utilization of the IRs, having an IRs policy will encourage the acquisition of content, availability of plagiarism software, specifying copyright and intellectual property right in respect of IRs content, creating more awareness of the importance and content of the IRs among others.

    The Open Access Effect: Transforming Collection Development Using Open Repositories
    (2024-09-04) Sambo, Atanda Saliu; B .D. Oladokun,; M. M Bassey; R.T. Enakrire
    This paper explores the transformative impact of the Open Access (OA) movement on collection development in academic libraries, emphasizing the role of open repositories. This paper employed a qualitative research method through a systematic literature review. To achieve these objectives, literature was sourced from multiple academic databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, Universities' Open repositories, and Web of Science. Key findings indicate a significant increase in hybrid, Gold OA, and Green OA journals, enhancing accessibility to scholarly materials and democratizing knowledge. The integration of OA resources into library collections has facilitated broader access to academic works, enabling libraries to reallocate funds from expensive subscriptions to support OA initiatives and improve digital infrastructure. The study highlights the positive effects of open repositories on collaboration, innovation, and equitable information dissemination. However, it also addresses challenges such as sustainability, quality control, copyright compliance, and digital preservation. Future directions suggest enhancing interoperability, embracing emerging technologies, expanding inclusivity and accessibility, supporting open science and data sharing, and strengthening community engagement.
