Library and Library Facilities As an academic library, the University Library system supports the three cardinal foci of the Univers~ty of La?o~, viz., Teaching, Research and Community Services. ThIS It does within the set goals and objectives as contained within the five-year Strategic Plan (2005 - 2009) of the University. These are: Vision To be the primary and foremost source/vessel of reliable information for the University Community in its quest to realize its noble vision concerning teaching, research and community services. Mission o To provide information services to meet the intellectual needs of members of the university community. o To make information seeking activity most rewarding and enjoyable for various categories of users in the community. The Library's aim is to promote greater utilization of library services for research. 9 2.2.3 Objectives The following are the strategic goals for the Library during the plan period: 1. To make the library collection rich, adequate and a pride of the university. 2. To render more friendly services to meet user needs. 3. To provide documentation services on results of local research in order to improve the university's participation in the two-way flow of research results, and the visibility of the library. 4. To take information products and services to the users' bases, wherever they may be. 5. To establish and instill a culture of on-line searching in users. 6. To automate major library processes, so that performing library activities are faster, easier and more convenient for users and library personnel. 7. To provide 24-hour reading services in the library. 2.2.4 The Library The Strategic Plan when fully implemented will enhance the information gathering capacities of both staff and students, which are vital for the growth of the University in the envisaged directions. In order to expand access to reading materials, the Library is fast moving towards distributed information access, including: o Integrated Library Systems (ILS) o Online Databases o Web-based Resources o Digital Library Collections o e-Books and e-Journals The above-listed Distributed Information Access Solutions are at various stages of implementation in the library. The most readily available and widely used are the ILS, Databases, Web-based resources and digital library resources whilst e-books solution is at an advanced stage of implementation. 10 2.2.5 Collections The University places high pnonty on the Library as the base for academic excellence and thus invests substantial internally generated funds in library development. To date, the University Library has about 470,251 volumes of books and about 696,000 volumes of journals. For the Reporting period, the Library acquired 2,670 volumes of books and 6,834 volumes of journals. This collection is inclusive of those acquired through the Gifts and Exchange Programme. 2.2.6 Level of ICT Application The ultimate is to have all the activities in the Library driven by Information and Communication Technologies. To date, almost all the library functional areas and services have a touch of IT. However, the depth of application varies. The following applications are currently available: Hardware: o 70 PCs + 124 PCs (MTN Foundation Universities Connect Project) o 14 HP Printers + 2 HP Network Printers (MTN Foundation Universities Connect Project) o 3 Scanners o 1 Projector + Screen o 1 Digital Camera o 2HP Proliant Servers Middleware: The Library is 75% networked with a total of 202 nodes within the Main Library, 68 nodes at Education Library and 124 nodes at the MTN Foundation Universities Connect Project. Software: The Library Management SystemlLibrary Application currently in use is the Graphical Library Automation System (GLAS). However, the University is considering upgrading 11 to a web-based Application called Millennium or to the Visionary Technology Library System (VTLS), which is currently adopted by six of the first set of universities In Nigeria. Database: The Library currently subscribes to about forty databases, including some open sources and some fee-based sources. The databases currently available include: AGORA, EBSCOHost, Oxford Journal Online, JSTOR, MetaPress and HINARI. The databases can be accessed on computer systems in the libraries and on the library website. The Library has a database room at old Media Room for the purpose of searching subscribed databases. In addition to 14 networked computers and dedicated printer, students are allowed to bring in their personal laptops into the room. The service here is provided free except for printing which attracts payment of N 10 per page. e-Library: MTN Foundation Universities Connect Project: This is an electronic library sponsored by the MTN Foundation as a community service project to facilitate access to the world of information by researchers, students and lecturers. The services include access to several databases via Sabinet of South Africa, Worldcat database through Online Computing for Library Centres (OCLC) , Library ?f Congress Online, etc. Some other valuable e-resources will be added by the MTN Foundation. Virtual Library: Following the commissioning of the NUC Virtual Library Project, there is a need for the University to provide the infrastructures/facilities to enable its users to access the Virtual Library. We therefore, are proposing five hundred work stations. Pes, Furniture, Networks, V-sat, Generator and Bandwidth will be required to achieve this. The 12 University will appreciate NUC's support/assistance in this regard. 2.2.7 Seating Capacity In the realization of the low sitting capacity of the Main Library, the University Management has since taken steps to increase this from 1,000 to 2,000. The Library has now provided three (3) annexes, namely, Akintunde Ojo Reading Rooms on the ground and the second floors, and the new reading room at the old Creative Arts Studio. These library annexes provide 24-hour reading services to students. There are two other library centres in the University, namely, the Medical Library at the College of Medicine Idi-Araba, and the Faculty of Education Library. The following faculty libraries have also taken off: Faculty of Business Administration Library, Faculty of Engineering Library, Faculty of Arts Library and the MBAlRadiography Library in Yaba. All these have increased the seating capacity tremendously. 2.2.8 Staffing The staff strength of the University of Lagos Library is one hundred and twenty-three (123), made up of: o Professional Staff 19 o Para-Professional Staff 11 o Administrative and Technical Staff 33 o Junior Staff 44 o Others 16 2.2.9 Challenges Areas to be urgently addressed are: o Incessant Leakage of the Library roofs which require re- roofing of both the Main and Education Libraries. o Rehabilitation of the floors of the Main and Education Libraries. o Air-conditioning of the Third Floor of the Main Library and the left wing of the Education Library. 13 o Acute shortage of the Reading chairs and tables o General re-habilitation of the ceiling and the lighting systems of both libraries. o General increase in the vote for purchase/subscriptions to books, journals, e-books, databases, e-journals, Application Software etc. o Rehabilitation of the Akintunde Ojo Library Extension for the 24 hour Reading Service and the proposed e- Reserved Book Room Service. 2.2.10 Library Funding In view of all the Library outstanding projects, there is a need to adequately fund the Library. It is suggested that the Library Development Fund (LDF) be revisited. The annual library interventions by ETF should be reviewed upward. 2.2.11 Library Information Technology The University places emphasis on Information Technology to improve the relevance of programmes and skills through the expansion of internet and intranet services in the University. The University of Lagos is one of the four pilot sites for the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Project in Nigerian Universities. The University's VLE system hosts the Learning Management System (LMS) applications, as well as a wide range of other key applications/services. The University is working towards ensuring that every academic, administrative and technical staff and student has easy access to a computer system and internet connectivity required to enhance the learning process. The University is also putting in place an Information Technology System that will be reliable, accessible and responsive, fully integrated, user-friendly, timely and accurate to support informed decision-making. This will also ensure that our graduates are relevant to the job environment, having acquired IT skills sufficient to function effectively on the job and other post- graduation assignment. 14 2.3 2.4 Scholarships / Fellowships and Bursary Awards (Technical Aid) The University has continued to facilitate staff and students' access to various scholarships, fellowships and bursary awards both locally and abroad.

Infrastructural 350 Poor Facilities TOTAL 8.0 FACTORS INHIBITING OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SYSTEM IN ACHIEVING ITS GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Various internal and external constraints have continued to hinder the performance of the University. These are: 8.1 Internal Factors o Aging structures: most of the buildings in the University were constructed in the 1970s and mid-1980s. The major problems now are leaking roofs, dilapidated plumbing, electrical and masonry works. o Dilapidated classroom and laboratory equipment and the inadequacy of this equipment to cope with the growing student population. o Inadequate hostel accommodation o Inadequate library facilities (space, books, etc.) o Inadequate staff accommodation 8.2 External Factors The major external inhibiting factor has remained the inadequacy of the total budget approved for the University relative to its needs. 52 8.3 9.0 9.1 The perennial erratic supply of ~unicipal s~rvices, especially electricity, reached an all-time low du.n~g the period. The University requires about WS.OO million to provide adequate potable water, and has co~tInued to spe~d a minimum of WlS million monthly on diesel to fuel Its stand-by generators. The University uses this opportunity to again appeal for a special provision to enable it to continue to meet these obligations. Success Factors in the Achievement of the University's Goals and Objectives The achievement of the goals and objectives of the University can be attributed to a combination of the following factors: o Teamwork and transparency o Open administration o Good administrative management o Financial prudence . o Cordial relationship with members of the community o The continued support of various stakeholders and agencies, including the Nation~1 Universities Commission (NUC) and the Education Trust Fund (ETF). OTHER MATTERS Service to the Community The University and members of the University community have continued to contribute immensely to the local community, the state and the nation as well as international bodies and institutions in various capacities. 9.2 Visitors to the University -,- ~I Date of Visit PurposeName Institution Prof. A.A.
