ABSTRACT This study is set to examine the roles of the budgeting shift on library electronic access, considering the enormous benefits that are experienced in the impact of budgeting on strategizing and ensuring accessibility of electronic services in Nigerian Libraries; the Nigerian libraries still experience some obstacles or hindrances in the effective and efficient use of budgeting in enhancing electronic services in the library. As a result, users may not be satisfied. Similarly, they would not be able to achieve self-actualization or their life goals. Consequently, libraries in Nigeria may not be able to make their impact on national development.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This paper focuses on the effect of budgeting shift on electronic
accessibility in a library, including requirements or considerations
when budgeting, technical services in a consortium, and best practices
in budgeting.
A budget is a guide or directive for fiscal management.
Libraries need funds to provide electronic and other services, and
these services must be budgeted for. Fletcher (1990) gives two
definitions of a budget, calling it “the overall picture of allocations
(for expenditure) and income,” as well as “the financial allocation for
specific purpose or purposes during a given period.”
Although
libraries are service-oriented and have little or no revenue-generating
motives or objectives, they still obviously require a budget. Provision
of electronic materials services is a significant source of income in
the library system. The need for budgets in libraries is increasingly
important.
Libraries must effectively divide funds between staff and
materials, which include acquisitions, services, and equipment. Library
fiscal management is becoming more decentralized. Current trends give a
measure of financial control to divisional, sectional, and unit
librarians. It is within this framework that budgeting for library
technical services is approached.
A number of studies have been
carried out on budgets and financing of library services (Rosenberg
& Raseroka, 2000; Ubogu, 2003; Smallen and McCredie, 2003; Emojorho,
2004); however, budgeting for technical or electronic services has
received little attention. Most discussions of budgeting for technical
services use a line-item budget as a focus.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study is set to examine the
roles of the budgeting shift on library electronic access, considering
the enormous benefits that are experienced in the impact of budgeting on
strategizing and ensuring accessibility of electronic services in
Nigerian Libraries; the Nigerian libraries still experience some
obstacles or hindrances in the effective and efficient use of budgeting
in enhancing electronic services in the library.
Today, Electronic
acquisition and implementation in libraries is facing a lot of problems.
This research work is being conducted to expose some of the inhibiting
factors that are hindering the effectiveness of electronic services in
Nigerian Libraries. Among the militating factors hindering the impact of
electronic access on Nigerian Libraries is the problem of insufficient
capital to fund the budget shift of providing electronic materials. More
so, epileptic power supply pose a threat on the accessibility of
electronic materials in Library
As a result, users may not be
satisfied. Similarly, they would not be able to achieve
self-actualization or their life goals. Consequently, libraries in
Nigeria may not be able to make their impact on national development.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To ascertain the rate of using electronic materials in libraries
2. Determine the impact of budgeting on accessibility of electronic materials in libraries
3. To examine the level of importance given to electronic materials in the library budget
4. Determine the problem militating against the adequate accessibility of electronic materials in Libraries.
5. Ascertain how budgeting can be used to foster accessibility of electronic materials in libraries
6. To identify the problems faced by the library management in planning a budget for electronic and other services.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. To what extent are the electronic materials effectively used in the library?
2. What are the impacts of budgeting on accessibility of electronic materials in libraries?
3. What level of importance is given to electronic materials in library budget?
4. What are the problems militating against the adequate accessibility of electronic materials in libraries?
5. What are the ways in which budgeting can be used to foster accessibility of electronic materials in libraries?
6.
What are the challenges encountered by the library management in
preparing budget to promote accessibility of electronic and other
materials?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The findings of the study will be
significant to the following: librarians in libraries, library managers
(Directors of State Library Services), state governments, and
researchers. In specific terms the findings will be useful to librarians
in libraries in the sense that they can apply the recommendations in
improving the performance of their operations and services to library
users. It will also enable them be up-to-date with current practices in
librarianship, thus fully equipping them to render efficient services to
library patrons.
The findings of the study will be useful to
researchers in the field of librarianship and information science by
allowing them identify the gap (s) that need filling. It will also
afford researchers the opportunity to see the link or relationship of
this study with other studies that have been conducted in the area and
enable them identify the areas that need further investigation. This
work is the researcher?s contribution to existing knowledge in the
budgeting shift of electronic services in libraries and will serve as a
useful resource material for researchers.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This research work is on the impact of
budgeting shift on the accessibility of electronic materials in
libraries using Oyo state college of agriculture and technology, Igboora
as a case study.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
1. Network interconnectivity to enhance elaborate research ?
2. High level of illiteracy
3. Organization operational huddles.
4. Time and cost constraints due to cause of scarcity in gasoline to go about the research.
