THE EFFECT OF BUDGETING SHIFT ON ELECTRONIC ACCESSIBILITY IN
A LIBRARY
ABSTRACT This study is set to examine the roles of the
budgeting shift on library electronic access, considering the enormous benefits
that are experienced in the impact of budgeting on strategizing and ensuring
accessibility of electronic services in Nigerian Libraries; the Nigerian
libraries still experience some obstacles or hindrances in the effective and
efficient use of budgeting in enhancing electronic services in the library. As
a result, users may not be satisfied. Similarly, they would not be able to
achieve self-actualization or their life goals. Consequently, libraries in
Nigeria may not be able to make their impact on national development.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This paper focuses on the effect of budgeting shift on
electronic accessibility in a library, including requirements or considerations
when budgeting, technical services in a consortium, and best practices in
budgeting.
A budget is a guide or directive for fiscal management.
Libraries need funds to provide electronic and other services, and these
services must be budgeted for. Fletcher (1990) gives two definitions of a
budget, calling it “the overall picture of allocations (for expenditure) and
income,” as well as “the financial allocation for specific purpose or purposes
during a given period.”
Although libraries are service-oriented and have little or no
revenue-generating motives or objectives, they still obviously require a
budget. Provision of electronic materials services is a significant source of
income in the library system. The need for budgets in libraries is increasingly
important.
Libraries must effectively divide funds between staff and
materials, which include acquisitions, services, and equipment. Library fiscal
management is becoming more decentralized. Current trends give a measure of
financial control to divisional, sectional, and unit librarians. It is within
this framework that budgeting for library technical services is approached.
A number of studies have been carried out on budgets and financing
of library services (Rosenberg & Raseroka, 2000; Ubogu, 2003; Smallen and
McCredie, 2003; Emojorho, 2004); however, budgeting for technical or electronic
services has received little attention. Most discussions of budgeting for
technical services use a line-item budget as a focus.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study is set to examine the roles of the budgeting shift
on library electronic access, considering the enormous benefits that are
experienced in the impact of budgeting on strategizing and ensuring
accessibility of electronic services in Nigerian Libraries; the Nigerian
libraries still experience some obstacles or hindrances in the effective and
efficient use of budgeting in enhancing electronic services in the library.
Today, Electronic acquisition and implementation in libraries
is facing a lot of problems. This research work is being conducted to expose
some of the inhibiting factors that are hindering the effectiveness of
electronic services in Nigerian Libraries. Among the militating factors
hindering the impact of electronic access on Nigerian Libraries is the problem
of insufficient capital to fund the budget shift of providing electronic
materials. More so, epileptic power supply pose a threat on the accessibility
of electronic materials in Library
As a result, users may not be satisfied. Similarly, they
would not be able to achieve self-actualization or their life goals.
Consequently, libraries in Nigeria may not be able to make their impact on
national development.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To ascertain the rate of using electronic materials in
libraries
2. Determine the impact of budgeting on accessibility of
electronic materials in libraries
3. To examine the level of importance given to electronic
materials in the library budget
4. Determine the problem militating against the adequate
accessibility of electronic materials in Libraries.
5. Ascertain how budgeting can be used to foster
accessibility of electronic materials in libraries
6. To identify the problems faced by the library management
in planning a budget for electronic and other services.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. To what extent are the electronic materials effectively
used in the library?
2. What are the impacts of budgeting on accessibility of
electronic materials in libraries?
3. What level of importance is given to electronic materials
in library budget?
4. What are the problems militating against the adequate
accessibility of electronic materials in libraries?
5. What are the ways in which budgeting can be used to foster
accessibility of electronic materials in libraries?
6. What are the challenges encountered by the library
management in preparing budget to promote accessibility of electronic and other
materials?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The findings of the study will be significant to the
following: librarians in libraries, library managers (Directors of State
Library Services), state governments, and researchers. In specific terms the
findings will be useful to librarians in libraries in the sense that they can
apply the recommendations in improving the performance of their operations and
services to library users. It will also enable them be up-to-date with current
practices in librarianship, thus fully equipping them to render efficient
services to library patrons.
The findings of the study will be useful to researchers in
the field of librarianship and information science by allowing them identify
the gap (s) that need filling. It will also afford researchers the opportunity
to see the link or relationship of this study with other studies that have been
conducted in the area and enable them identify the areas that need further
investigation. This work is the researcher?s contribution to existing knowledge
in the budgeting shift of electronic services in libraries and will serve as a
useful resource material for researchers.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This research work is on the impact of budgeting shift on the
accessibility of electronic materials in libraries using Oyo state college of
agriculture and technology, Igboora as a case study.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
1. Network interconnectivity to enhance elaborate research ?
2. High level of illiteracy
3. Organization operational huddles.
4. Time and cost constraints due to cause of scarcity in
gasoline to go about the research.
