(Journal Of Physical Education And Research, 2005) OA Adegboye, JO Ogunrewo

It also attempted all extensive description of what constitute grey literature with a view to bringing out their various characteristics. The work further gave a general overview of the rule (4 grey literature. Among other factors, they serve as good complements of published literature even though their significance have not been brought to the lime light as other published resources in university libraries. The sources of grey literature were identified as those that were unpublished and were not acquired through: normal book trade channels. Methods of acquisitions by practice in university libraries were mainly through direct purchase from the creating agencies as well as through gifts and exchanges programmes among the creators and the university libraries. Also, the management of grey literature vary from library to library and there was not yet evolved a standardized method of maintenance especially in the areas of cataloguing and classification. There was evidence that grey literature were being put into use but quite a lot of current awareness was still needed for optimum maximization of use of these resources. Problems facing the prospects of grey literature were also highlighted and recommendations were also made towards boosting prospects of grey Literature.

African Multicultural Population
(Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC), 2012) OLUKEMI A. FADEHAN
The story of the African past is well known. It has been the case of a continent fraught with the painful experiences of slavery and colonialism; one leading to the other. First, the period of slavery was characterized by massive movement of the African peoples as trade elements to Europe. It witnessed the removal of the significant workforce- quantitatively about two- thirds of the populations which fell between the fruitful years of 18 and 30 years to Europe.

An Analysis of Library and Faculty collaborations in South West Universities in Nigeria
(Nigerian Libraries, 2021) OA Fadehan, JO Ojo
The study investigated an analysis of library–faculty collaborations in Southwest Universities in Nigeria. Descriptive survey design and multi-stage sampling techniques was adopted and questionnaire as the instrument of data collection, with the total population of the study consisting of 461 lecturers from the faculty of science of six (6) universities covering both public and private ones in the Southwest geo-political zone of the country. Using the Cronbach alpha, the reliability of the test instrument was established at (α=0.85). Results on the perception of library and faculty relationship were based on different opinion: a significant number of the respondents disagree that academic institution can exist without the library and information services, there were equally significant conflicting responses that disagree that the library and the faculty are not mutually exclusive. The latter opinion was reinforced with subscription to the view that the library and the faculty were mutually exclusive. Areas of collaboration identified included mutual commitment to a mission and collection development, establishment of profitable communication channels, building of strong information literacy infrastructure, involvement of the library in curriculum design and the engagement of the faculty in the formulation of library policies among others. The challenges militating against profitable collaboration between the two cognates were identified while relevant recommendations were made.

The an Automated Library Fund Management System for Nigerian Universities
(Nigeria Libary Association, 2003) Omotayo, B. O.; Irechukwu, P. U.
In realization of the strategic role of the library in the academic programme of tertiary institutions/ particularly the universities/ the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1992 reached an agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities to make libraries enjoy a separate fund allocation of 10% of overall vote to each university from the Federal Government. This development engendered the need for the institutions to develop a system of managing and monitoring the allocations. This paper reports the design of an the automated library accounting system (ALAS) for use by the Accounting Section of Libraries. Trial implementation was with the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. The developed computer package uses the VISUALBASIC programming language working in a WINDOWS environment. The system consists of a menu-driven program to perform the task of vote allocation/ expenditure monitoring/ report generation and file backup/ amongst others. The simple design presented here records transactions against accounts/ and provides a picture of the relevant income and expenditure profiles. It disregards accounting for physical assets (including infrastructure) and standard services on the real assumption that the parent organization still retains control of these. The developed system would enable libraries to improve their financial and indeed client centered operational efficiency by generating up-to-date financial reports promptly.

Awareness, attitude and ethical concerns among faculty members in Nigerian universities on open educational resources (OERs)
(Routledge, Taylor and Frances, 2023) Olukemi Fadehan; Olatokunbo Okiki
Based on a descriptive research design, this study examined the variables of the levels of awareness, attitude and ethical concern in relation to faculty members in Nigerian universities and Open Educational Resources (OER). Against the backdrop of the five hypotheses raised and tested, findings indicated significant status-induced differences in how faculty members perceived OER and their ethical concern towards it. The analysis further showed that the benefits of OER (β = 0545) contributed more to the prediction of ethical concern. Moreover, academics’ awareness, attitude, and willingness contributed significantly to the emergence of OER initiatives. The study highlighted further academic staff benefits of OER in Nigerian universities. Consequently, it is recommended that universities and libraries need to fully embrace OER initiatives focusing on policy development, even as libraries undertake more aggressive awareness and advocacy programmes on OER among faculty members.

Controlled Vocabulary and Authority Records for the Management of Bibliographic Data in the New Nigerian Library Environment: Marc 21 Standards
(2011) Okunlola, Abiola Amos
Information architecture seems to be a major challenge to both the information professional and the infomation user in the new library environment. Information about users' needs is stacked somewhere in the catalogue cabinet or in computer files bur the user cannot find it because of distance, language and other socio-cultural barriers. However, much of this problem can be managed through controlled indexing and cataloguing vocabulary such as we have in MARC authority records. Librarians' ability to initiate and maintain a technology based library system depends on how much they control their bibliographic data through the established authority records. As technological innovations continue to advance, librarians must devise newer ways of maintaining library records through computer-based library systems. The library of congress MARC authority file has been based on established principles of consistency, adaptability and flexibility which make it not only comprehensive but also standardized and reliable for any library to follow. It is recommended that all stake holders must take up the challenge and address the issue of standardizalion of bibliographic data for information sharing in the new information dispensation.

First Ladies Information Profile and Women's Political Empowerment in Nigeria
(Journal of Arts and Ideas, 2002) Adegboye, O.A
Discourses on women affairs are daily becoming wider in scope and veering into every area of human endeavour, hence, the relevance of feminism in the body politic of a nation. In addition, democracy has become the most popular form of government worldwide with America taking the lead. For instance, America had come to solid terms about her form of government since the declaration of independence in the year 1776 (Pole, 1993:212). Since then, "the term democratic Government has become almost synonymous with the American governance and electoral processes" (Adegboye, '1997:498). Nigeria only gained her independence in 1960. She has since 'Convulsed' with spates of Civilian and Military governments, the latter being the most frequent and longest dispensation she ever had. Only recently, precisely May 29, 1999 she commenced the 4th Republic since independence.

Information Services
(American Studies Association of Nigeria (A.S.A.N), 1998-07-22) OLUKEMI A. ADEGBOYE
America has succeeded in evolving a political system that is both enviable and significant in world politics in the last two centuries. The system of governance and the electoral processes have been institutionalized. Peace and serenity characterised the electoral scene in America and this calls for a salient question. What is the trick?: The flow of information is not a luxury. It is a life and death necessity; life and death for industries, for communities, for nations economic health, for survival, for deterrence of war, for progress, for posterity. This is not an exaggeration, it is a hard fact.' There is no doubt that in any process of enlightenment, political in particular, information services provided in a nation are of immense importance. America has succeeded in operating a system of governance with a lesser degree of confusion that obtains in many other nations. So far, America has held a total of forty-two elections since the declaration of independence in 1776. Even though there are many elements that have contributed to the success and progress of their political culture, the nation's body politics has in its wheels a dynamic information system. This paper seeks to take an overview of the American system of government and discuss the role of information services in the electoral processes. It also discusses implications for Nigeria.

Information Source Quality and Use as Correlates of Business Performance of Community Banks in Osun State, Nigeria
(Ghana Journal of Development Studies, 2010-05) Fadehan, O.A; https://ir.unilag.edu.ng/items/15a53e31-b7ef-48e7-b216-3902bd1a03bc/full#:~:text=dc.contributor.author-,Popoola%2C%20S.O,-dc.date.accessioned; Popoola, S.O
The paper discusses' an investigation on the relationship between information source accessibility and business performance of the community banks over a six-year period. The Expos-Facto Survey design was used in collecting data from 258 managers of 43 functioning community banks at the time of study with a retrieval rate of 80%. The data were analyzed using both the descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that the customer source was the most used of all the information sources. The personal sources were also preferred to the impersonal sources while information accessibility had a positive relationship with the banks' business performance. The study therefore recommended the creation of greater awareness of information relevance and sourcing using formalized information packaging and managing systems.

Music Librarianship in Nigerian University Libraries
(Department of Music, Obafemi Awolowo University, lle-lfe, Nigeria, 2002) Adegboye, O.A
The above conception gives an apt description of the concerns of every good information service in general and particularly Music Librarianship in Nigerian University Libraries. The library remains an agent of posterity charged with the responsibility of transmitting information (including cultural values of a people from generation to generation) with a view of educating and enhancing the utilization of such information by their potential clientele. To this end, the library has been described as an organization primarily charged with the responsibility of selecting, acquiring, processing, preserving and disseminating different forms of information (Adegboye, 1998: 12). The nature of library services as explained above, therefore makes the profession cross-disciplinary. The Librarian stands as a 'specialist in information management and as a 'generalist' as he tries to 'befriend all areas of knowledge (Adegboye, 1998: 12).
