An Assessment of the Capacity-Building Programme on Information and Communication Technology, Organized by the Education Tax Fund, Nigeria

摘要

The imperativeness of information in general and information and communication technologies (ICT) in particular cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, it has been pointed out that countries which have given relatively little attention to the adoption and use of IT are lagging behind in the business of spreading education through the use of the latest technology (Rajesh, 2003). Tiamiyu (2000) identifies eight of the benefits accruing from digitalization: (1) Elimination of duplication in data entry operations. (2) Improvement in the control of operations. (3) Error reduction in data handling operations. (4) Improvement in the speed of operations or services. (5) Increased range and depth of service. (6) Reduction in staff costs. (7) Improved staff morale and prestige. (8) Enhanced capability to share bibliographic data and resources with other libraries.
