This study was conducted to determine the relationship that exists between motivational factors (remuneration, work environment, promotion and training) on librarian’s job performance in federal university otuoke and Lagos state university libraries. To achieve the objective, research question with corresponding hypothesis was formulated to give direction to the study. The correlation research design was used for the study. The population of the study consisted of 18 librarians drawn from federal university otuoke and 18 librarians from Lagos state university libraries. 36 librarians used for the study, and no sample size due to the small population. Data was collected using researcher’s developed instruments titled ‘Motivational Factors and Librarian’s Job Performance Questionnaire’ (MFLSJPQ). The instrument was found reliable with a reliability coefficient of .714 using Multiple Regression Coefficients. Data collected were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient to answer the research question while Multiple Regression Coefficient was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings from the data analysis showed that the motivational factors being (remuneration, work environment, promotion and training) have significant influence on librarians’ job performances in federal university otuoke and Lagos state university libraries.

The objectives of the study were to ascertain the influence of quick factual information on students' perception of information resources, to determine the influence of referrals on students' perception of information resources, and to examine the influence of selective dissemination of information on students' perception of information resources. Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted the Kano model theory. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The area of study is the Nyong Essien library of the University of Uyo. The population for the study comprised all 4,888 registered users of the Nyong Essien library of the University of Uyo for the 2017/2018 academic session. The sample size for this study was 488 and the sample was selected using accidental sampling technique. The instrument used for the collection of data was a researcher developed questionnaire. The researcher personally administered copies of the questionnaire to the respondents. The data generated were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and the dependent t-test was employed to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that there is significant influence of quick factual information on students' perception of information resources, that there is significant influence of referrals on students' perception of information resources and that there is significant influence of selective dissemination of information on students' perception of information resources.

The beauty of Library operations is not only in the ability to provide needed and useful materials containing information for the community, but also to be able to make them accessible to the clientele as and when needed, which is what circulation is all about. The objectives of the study are, to analyse the existing information system in LASU Library circulation section, design an information model for circulation section of LASU Library, and implementation of the designed library circulation model. The implementation tools used are, HTML (the Hypertext Mark-up Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), Java Script, Jquery, and Mongodb. . The architectural design used is the unified modelling language (UML) which is a general-purpose modelling language in the field of software engineering and provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system. The model will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the activities carried out at the circulation unit of LASU Library. At the end of the study, recommendations are provided for the smooth run of the designed circulation model.
