In recent times, advancement in technology has penetrated areas of library functions, especially, the establishment of an electronic library (e-library) system that has become commonplace in Nigeria. Studies have shown a low level of users" satisfaction with these resources. Thus, this study examined the influence of users" computer-self-efficacy and perception on users" satisfaction with e-libraries in Northern Nigerian universities. Descriptive survey research was adopted. A population of 7,028 users was considered out of which 1,406 was randomly sampled and used. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Hypotheses were tested with Spearman Rank-Order Correlation. Findings revealed that computer self-efficacy of users with e-libraries were high, even though their perceptions of e-libraries were low. There was a strong relationship between computer self-efficacy and satisfaction with e-library (r(951) = .164, p = .000), a positive correlation between perceptions and satisfaction with e-library (r(951) = .334, p = .000). It was therefore concluded that the satisfaction of users with e-libraries in the universities in Northern Nigeria would largely be influenced by their level of computer self-efficacy and perception. The study recommended the acquisition of relevant skills by the user for satisfactory utilization of the e-libraries. In particular, users should be assisted in identifying high-quality e-library resources.

Academic libraries are expected to provide information resources to meet the needs, expectations and aspirations of their users, and by extension, meet the teaching, learning and research objectives of the institutions. However, Nwirigi (2012) postulated that in recent time, technology has penetrated all areas of library functions and the establishment of an electronic library system has become commonplace in the 21 st Century. It has led to a dramatic switch to digital collections with an impact on library users and their perceptions of the library and its resources. The advent of technology in libraries has recreated the face of librarianship, which, according to Tenopir (2003) requires that the university libraries realign themselves with the new trend of service delivery. The emerging information trend has come along with networked systems, new methods of acquisition and utilization of information resources. It, therefore, means that university libraries have to create new ideas in service delivery that will bring about user satisfaction. Consequently, there are associated challenges of responding to these ever-increasing and changing digital information techn...

The study is comparative on Koha usage in Bowen University and University of Ilorin Libraries. It adopted a descriptive survey research design. The sample size for the was 50 professional and para-professional librarians who usually make use of Koha Integrated Library System (ILS) at the University of Ilorin library and Bowen University Library (Timothy Olagbenro Library). The questionnaire, interview and observation were used as data collection instruments. The survey was validated while the reliability coefficient of the tool using Cronbach's Alpha found to have 0.746 correlation coefficient. The IBM SPSS version 21.0 used for the analysis of the questionnaire with simple frequency counts and percentage in tables. Similar reasons were for the adoption of Koha software in both institution libraries, and those justifications could be summarised based on philosophical and ethical reasons. The extent of Koha usage at the University of Ilorin Library is low while its usage is very high extent Kohaat the Bowen University Library. Also, findings showed that the usage of Koha software is effective and efficient in University of Ilorin library and Bowen University Library. Lastly, the two selected academic libraries are not without one or two challenges in the use of Koha. At the Bowen University Library, inadequate power supply and system crashing are the challenges affecting their usage of Koha. Whereas at the University of Ilorin library, insufficient workforce; high cost of maintenance; inadequate funding; lack of training and retraining of staff; and insufficient technical knowledge were the challenges faced in the practical usage of Koha ILS. Among other recommendations, the study recommended that university libraries should collaborate with ICT experts and bodies to develop personalised quality library software.
