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.

The success in computer courses is influenced by the levels of students' beliefs in their computer abilities (computer self-efficacy). Low level of computer self-efficacy (CSE) may affect to student's attention, engagement, and achievement in computer courses. Teacher feedback is one of the important factors helping students boost their CSE. The interaction with teachers influences students' intrinsic motivation and computer abilities. This study was to explore the influence of teachers' feedback in the computer classroom environment. The different types of teachers' feedback affect the different levels of students' CSE. An individual computer project was given to students. Data collection with pre-test and post-test design was used to capture students' changing perceptions of learning at the beginning and end of the computer course. The final sample was 105 high-school students in Thailand. A survey measured 8 items of abilities feedback, 5 items for general praise, 9 items for negative feedback, 5 items for CSE, and 24 items for SE Sources. Results from regression analysis revealed that SE source of social persuasions influenced by the ability feedback, along with general praise, and negative feedback respectively was the strongest predictor to predict students' CSE. The result highlighted not only teacher feedback can help students strengthen their CSE but also link with students' psychological Index Terms-Computer classroom, computer self-efficacy, needs in a computer classroom. feedback, self-efficacy source.

Also, in a survey of the factors affecting actual system use, Akinbobola and Adeleke (2013) submitted that usability, supportive management, and computer self-efficacy strongly influenced library personnel's actual use of the Koha software system. The findings of Akinbobola and Adeleke (2013) suggest that Koha software meets library personnel's specifications and has the ability to fulfill their needs effectively and efficiently.…”

The paper showcases various library house-keeping reports that can be generated effortlessly using Koha ILS. Examples of reports generated in Bowen University Library include Circulation, Acquisitions and Cataloguing/Classification reports. Circulation activity reports like user registration, patron category, overdue payments, item issue, returns and renewals are showcased. Acquisition reports highlighted include acquisitions by purchase and donation, expenditure on acquisitions and also by branch libraries, additions to the library collection and the status of the library database as required. Cataloguing reports such as additions of items to the entire library network, total item count and summation of item types are also highlighted. The paper concludes by sensitising libraries using Koha ILS of the unlimited potentials of Koha ILS for reports generation.
