EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Executive Summary

Overview

The Government of Nigeria has continued to considerably improve thefunding of over 500 Higher Education Institutions, centres and agencies ofhigher learning, research and development, but little is left for theimprovement of institutional services and operations after payment of staffsalaries and allowances. Accordingly, the poor availability and obsolescenceof books, journals and other learning materials has continued to impair theability of Higher Education Institutions to adequately achieve their purposeof teaching, research and community service for their expanding populationof students.

In any event, most Higher Education Institutions have long exceeded theircarrying capacities while demand for higher education continues to increase.The challenge for Nigeria is therefore, to expand access to education andcurrent learning materials without most of the required funds disappearinginto physical expansion of libraries and related structures.

At the instance of the President, His Excellency, Chief OlusegunObasanjo, UNESCO has facilitated the development of an actionable,technically feasible, cost-effective, future-proofed and sustainable plan thatsets out a road map to efficiently deliver local and international content to allNigerian Higher Education Institutions, staff and students, in the context oftheir peculiar environments, by means of a Virtual Library that augments theexisting library system.

In conducting this Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment for Higher EducationInstitutions, UNESCO, with support from the Government of Japan’s Fund-in-Trust, has consulted and interacted intensively with a wide spectrum ofstakeholder institutions and experts.

The report considered various issues, contexts and relevant options, relatedto Content; Infrastructure and Delivery Methods; Legal, Copyright andPayment issues; Administration and Management; Human ResourcesManagement; Funding and Sustainability; Implementation Strategies andBudget

Recommendations

Given the limited funding available to academic libraries in Nigeria, it isobvious that scholars and students can only access a small portion of theinformation available in their disciplines. Thus, with the escalating costs ofinformation materials and dwindling allocation of funds to academicinstitutions, a judicious balance must be made to ensure that users ofacademic libraries in Nigeria have access to relevant, appropriateinformation in their fields of interest. It is in light of this that this report

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page iv

recommends that there is a compelling need for the development ofa Virtual Library for Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria.

The report puts forward actionable plans for a Virtual Library that would beowned by Nigerian Higher Education Institutions, each according to itsreality, and in line with the vision and objectives set forth by Mr. President.

1 The Virtual Library is expected to have two aspects:

A The subscription to full text databases in all major fields ofstudy relevant to Higher Education institutions.

B The development of indigenous content. This activity isenvisaged to be crucial to the survival of our heritage, dialects,languages, cultures, value systems, and collective memory/ historywhich will otherwise be subsumed by the more dominant languagesor cultures of the world.

2 The Virtual Library is to have a distributedmanagement structure with a coordinatingbody, called the Virtual LibraryConsortium, and the participatinginstitutions which will implement theVirtual Library as self accounting nodes.

3 The Virtual Library should be a cornerstoneof Government strategy to rejuvenateNigeria’s educational system and therealization of many national, regional andinternational development goals including:

A Education For All (EFA)

B Information For All Program (IFAP)

C National Action Plan for Information for All

D New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD)

E Millennium Development Goals (MDG)

F Raison d'être spelt out by the President, His Excellency, ChiefOlusegun Obasanjo when he stated in his letter to UNESCOrequesting that this feasibility study be undertaken that “it hasbecome necessary... to bridge the digital divide.”

4 The implementation plan has built in mechanisms fortransparency and accountability for all activities through the regularpublishing and dissemination of annual reports and audited accounts ofthe nodes and the consortium. These reports will be rendered public, inaddition to the Virtual Library Consortium annual general meeting.

5 The Federal Government is to provide the start-up funds which shouldbe supplemented and supported by donor agencies, civil society and theprivate sector.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

6 Even, though some information and communication technologyinfrastructure may be lacking, it is still possible to initiatedevelopment of a Virtual Library with the existing facilities.

7 Significant complementary income is expected from fees, charges andpublic/ private partnerships.

Justifications

The purpose of a Virtual Library is to enhance the quality of life by providingaccess to, and improving the quality of, learning, teaching and research, andthereby providing a more solid base for education.

1 A Virtual Library provides remote, on-line or CD-ROM-based, access to avariety of national and international content including curricula, learningmaterials, books, journals, magazines and newspapers, servicestraditionally offered by libraries, and new services and onlineinformation sources.

2 Virtual Libraries thus combine on-site collections of materials inelectronic format with an electronic network which ensures access toand delivery of those materials.

3 For the Virtual Library tobe useful, appropriateand relevant to, andsustainable by HigherEducation Institutions,emerging from decadesof authoritarian,arbitrary and over-centralized governanceand administration,Nigeria requires to re-empower its Higher Education Institutions to build capacity, innovateand cultivate a sense of ownership for problems and solutions thataffect their fundamental functions and operations.

4 By enriching the Higher Education Institutions, the Virtual Library willimprove the quality of their teaching, learning and research andthereby the quality of all other levels of education.

5 Sufficient indigenousmaterials exist towarrant a specialprogram to make suchcontent available on theVirtual Library.

6 By making public recordsand informationavailable, the Virtual Library will preserve and enhance the democraticprocess, good governance, accountability and transparency.

7 The Virtual Library can be used as a vehicle to project our culture,values and capabilities while preserving our heritage andcollective memory. It is a case of “survival of the fittest” throughadaptation to the use of modern tools to preserve and promote ourdiverse languages, culture and heritage.

8 The Virtual Library provides Nigerian users access to the samematerials at the same time as their counterparts anywhere inthe world. We look forward to UNESCO facilitating arrangements forNigerian Virtual Library users to access large information repositoriessuch as the Harvard University on-line library when it completes thedigitisation of the 10 million books contained in that Library. Thisimplies that Nigerian users may soon have access to the samematerials, at the same moment that students and staff of HarvardUniversity have access to.

9 International Publishers and donor agencies have continued to offersubsidies and free donations of vast quantities of content whichmost Nigerian students and staff are unfortunately not able toaccess or utilise. For example, the SOROS Foundation USA, providesfree access to the EBSCO (Elton B. Stephens Company) database whichprovides access to several tens of thousands of full text journals,magazines and other source titles. The International Centre forTheoretical Physics in Italy, International Network for the Availability ofScientific Publication in the UK as well as the World Health Organisationhave donated free access to electronic content via cost effective deliverysystems, which we are yet unable to fully capitalise on.

10 Publishers have tried, and continue to make efforts to assist developingcountries like Nigeria. For example, for a block fee of onlyUS$13,000.00, the Academic Press in Europe will allow access to over350 academic journal titles for a full year to every Nigerian Studentand Staff.

NOTE

o 350 International Journals titles at an average of one edition per monthtranslates into 4,200 editions per annum, and costs N1,677,000.00, orUS$13,000.00 at an exchange rate of N129 to the US$1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

o If we assume that:

There are conservatively 1,000,000 students and staff nationwidewho are eligible to access these editions.

Each print edition would be shared by 100 users.

Each edition costs an average N100.00.

Therefore, it would cost N4,200,000,000.00 (over Four BillionNaira) to provide 10,000 print editions which would be shared bythe 1,000,000 users.

The comparative cost of the electronic edition is 2,500 timesless than the print edition, and would instantly be available to1,000,000 users at their personal convenience.

Financial Implications

The following notional estimates have been made.

Total Capital Costs in Naira N16,253,083,887.55

Total Recurrent Costs in Naira N5,674,474,127.32

TOTAL COST OF IMPLIMENTATION IN NAIRA N21,927,558,014.87

Phasing details will be worked out during the first stages ofimplementation and will be based on the available funding. Wesuggest that the phasing strategy be based on the premise that every usershould move up one step from their present baseline, rather than onfailed traditional phasing criteria, such as the designation of centres ofexcellence, institution population size, existing circumstances, political orother criteria that lend themselves to abuse.

START-UP COSTS PER USER IN NAIRA N9,368.95

Start up Costs per User in US$ $72.63

PROJECTED ANNUAL INCOME IN NAIRA N7,153,793,750.00

RECURRENT FUNDING SURPLUS N1,479,319,622.68

The implication of the above is that once started the Virtual Library willpay for its ongoing operational activities and should have a surpluswhich will be used to facilitate organic growth and expansion.However this surplus will not be sufficient to completely replace fullydepreciated and possibly obsolete technology at the end of five years. Thisscenario is acceptable for an Educational initiative of this kind, bearing inmind the cost savings envisaged and the multiplier effect to the Nation.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Background

The main purpose of an academic library is to support the institution’sobjectives, which are in the areas of learning, teaching, research andservice. The library is regarded as the heart of the intellectual system of theinstitution. To a large extent, the quality of the institution is measured bythe services provided by the library because of its unique position in theover-all system.

Since 1948, when the University College Library (now Kenneth Dike Library,University of Ibadan) was established, Libraries have been recognized as theintellectual heart of a Higher Education Institute. It is therefore, notsurprising, that other Higher Education Institutes’ libraries established inNigeria after 1948 ensured that this precedence is maintained in theirrespective institutions.

However, the situation changed for the worse in the 1980s when the FederalGovernment of Nigeria adopted the World Bank Structural AdjustmentProgramme, which affected university funding adversely. University librarieswere the first casualties. This is because a lot of the materials purchased bylibraries have a substantial foreign exchange component while the structuraladjustment programme adopted by the government resulted in the massivedevaluation of the national currency. Thus, funds allocated to HigherEducation Institutions could no longer meet the requirements of the libraries.

The situation deteriorated to such a level that the Federal Government ofNigeria decided to make some interventions, such as, The World BankFederal Universities Development Sector Adjustment Credit, The PetroleumSpecial Trust Fund National Education Materials Procurement Programmeand the Education Tax Fund.

Today, there are over Five hundred Higher Education Institutions inNigeria, some of which are listed, with the over 600 potential Virtual LibraryUser Institutions, at the end of this document.

Given the limited funding available to academic libraries in Nigeria, it isobvious that scholars and students can only access a small portion of theinformation available in their disciplines. Thus, with the escalating costs ofinformation materials and dwindling allocation of funds to academicinstitutions a judicious balance must be made to ensure that users ofacademic libraries in Nigeria have access to relevant, appropriateinformation in their fields of interest. This can only be possible iflibraries lay more emphasis on access rather than ownership.

A way to achieving this is the provision of remote access to collectionsregardless of the location of the information source. There is also the addedadvantage of speed of service. Since information is electronically available,retrieval is instantaneous, hence the need for a National VirtualLibrary.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 2

Objectives of the Study

The purpose of a Virtual Library is to underpin learning and acquisition ofknowledge, to provide a more solid basis for education and to enhancequality of life by drawing on digitally available (preferably on-line) books,materials and journals via ICT-based tools. A Virtual Library providesremote (on-line or CD-ROM-based) access to a variety of national andinternational content (e.g. curricula, learning materials, books, journals,magazines, newspapers), services traditionally offered by libraries and otherinformation sources. Virtual Libraries thus combine on-site collections ofmaterials in electronic format with an electronic network which ensuresaccess to and delivery of those materials.

It must, however, be remembered that this is a one way traffic that providesaccess to databases and to information mainly available in Europe andAmerica. Deliberate action must be instituted towards building our nationalinformation infrastructure and creating databases so that we can also beproducers and exporters and thus active participants in the creation andformulation of content. This is because, in the long run, the issues ininformation technology may have less to do with the way information iscommunicated than with content: What is the message, who generates it,why and with what audience and purpose in mind.

The Feasibility Study for Virtual Library for institutions of higher Education inNigeria project is at the instance of the President, His Excellency, ChiefOlusegun Obasanjo “….to bridge the digital divide”.

The aim of the Feasibility Study is to provide a workable, self sustaining planof action for the development and implementation of a Virtual Library forNigeria and later the West Africa sub-region.

The Virtual Library is expected to have two aspects:

1 Subscription to full text databases in all fields of study relevant tohigher education institutions.

2 The development of indigenous content which is crucial to thesurvival of our heritage, dialects, languages, cultures, value systems,and collective memory/ history.

The Feasibility Study was launched in Nigeria in November 2002 with themission from Paris which recruited a National Professional Officer tocoordinate the project under the overall supervision of Dr. Hans d’Orville,the Director, UNESCO Bureau for Strategic Planning (BSP), Paris.

The work plan was drawn and three experts in the fields of Information andCommunications Technology, Higher Education Institutions and InformationResources as well as a Project Assistant were contracted to execute theproject.

Several missions to Higher Education Institutions around the country wereundertaken to liaise with stake holders and ascertain the state of the art in

INTRODUCTION

ICT infrastructure and connectivity as well as the availability of humancapacity.

A national workshop, where stakeholders produced a draft Feasibility Studyfor Virtual Library, was held in August 2003 at the National TeachersInstitute, Kaduna. The project came to an end in November with theprinting and presentation of the report to the President and distribution tothe stakeholders.

Mission Statement

To improve the standards, quality, convenience and relevance ofNigerian tertiary education and research by supporting and updatingthe vital services, functions and operations of all Nigerian librariesand higher education communities in the creation, acquisition,preservation, organization and delivery of local and internationaldigital content.


CHAPTER 1

CONTENT

Chapter 1 CONTENT

Aims and Objectives

1 Identify sources and producers of local content and priorities fordigitisation.

2 Identify issues that impact on the digitisation of content.

3 Identify the full text databases that may be required by HigherEducation institutions.

4 Estimate the cost of access and subscriptions to the full text databases.

Technical Issues and Details

1 Options list

A Culture and Language

I The preservation of culturally significant information in digitalform as a part of the national and world heritage.

II Language for access is an issue that can be addressed suchthat nodal web sites can be displayed in various locallanguages at the behest of the user.

III Language of content as an issue can be addressed by the useof automated translation engines by national and institutionalpolicies.

B Copyright

I In the procurement of content, copyright becomes animportant issue for all formats, as addressed in Chapter 4:Legal, Copyright and Payment issues.

II Those shouldered with the responsibility for the selection ofcontent for Virtual Library must be conscious of the issue ofpiracy.

C Standards

I It is imperative that the Virtual Library content complies withinternationally set metadata standards.

D Authenticity

I Digitised content should endeavour to be a true reflection ofthe original material or as allowed by the copyright owner.

II The integrity of the digitised material should be maintainedfree from manipulation and corruption through Authenticationand Encryption systems.


E Payment of royalties and usage

I Intellectual property should be protected through billing androyalty tracking, in line with Chapter 4: Legal, Copyright andPayment issues.

F Awareness and Training

I The acceptability of the Virtual Library is in part dependent onthe level of awareness of the institutions, personnel and endusers.

II The Training of personnel and end users are critical to thesuccess and sustainability of the Virtual Library project.

III The acquisition of new skills by Librarians and other end usersare necessary.

G The Indian Experience

I The Vidyanidhi Digital Library in India started, by Prof. ShaliniR. Urs, at the University of Mysore, India. It began in the Year2000 as a pilot project whose goal was to demonstrate thefeasibility of e-Theses in the India context.

II The pilot scheme accomplished the following:

Development of a pilot collection of e-Theses;

Development of an Indian Theses Database;

Development of a conceptual model and architecture.

III In 2003, Vidyanidhi moved from a pilot phase to a Programmephase. Its visions are:

To evolve as a National Repository and a collaborativeconsortium of participating Universities and institutions;

To develop an Online Resource and a technical mechanismfor creating, submitting, archiving and accessing e-Theses.

IV Lessons to be learnt from the Vidyanidhi experience include:

e-Theses are the quickest source of creating local contentwhich will evolve into a National Repository to be accessedby all.

The consortium of HEIs is an excellent method of gettingstakeholders to buy into and take ownership of theprocesses.

The process of evolving e-Theses will serve as a test bedfor developing the actual Virtual Library.

Chapter 1 CONTENT

V The issue of language interoperability is critical in theVidyanidhi Programme, as India is said to be home to 418languages, 407 are living languages and 18 areconstitutionally recognized. Theses are written in differentlanguages and the programme faces the challenge of languageinteroperability. Nigeria on its part has mainly English asLingua franca, therefore most materials are produced inEnglish.

VI However in developing local content, the use of locallanguages and the issues of interoperability must beaddressed, since Nigeria is a multi lingual society.

2 Evaluation of Options:

A Print. Local content should include:

I Research output from Higher Education and researchinstitutions such as theses/ dissertations, seminar papers,conference materials, journals, workshop papers and freepublications from UNESCO, World Bank and other multilateralagencies.

II Government publications such as the Constitution of theFederal Republic, gazettes, annual reports, budgets, speeches,law reports of the federation, Court Judgments, reports ofcommissions, national newspapers and magazines, specialcollections, hanzards, catalogues and directories and Maps.

III Special sources include the National Library of Nigeria (NLN),National Archives of Nigeria (NAN), National Film Corporation(NFC) National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), NationalGallery for Art (NGA) National Commission for Museums andMonuments (NCMM), National Population Commission (NPC),the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC),Publishers and so on.

B Non-print. Should include:

I Artefacts and antiquities

II Audio visual materials such as:

Photographs, archives, Cultural sites and monuments,Recordings of oral history and folklores, sculptures,historical buildings and sites

Cultural shows, materials, craft work such as pottery,leather, metal, calabash carving, raffia, jewelleries, textiles,cuisine, and brass work.

III Electronic content including Institutional Data-bases like theFederal Office of Statistics, National Human Resource


Database, BPE, CBN, INEC, NNPC, National PopulationCommission, Department of National Civic Registration andvarious government departments and Higher Educationinstitutions. Other relevant public domain and commercialforeign data-bases including the EBSCO data-base, Medline,Agricola, Social science citation index, arts and humanitiesindex, Chemical abstracts, OCLC, EIFL, World Bank, UNESCOdata-base and other United Nation data-bases.

C The e-Book. e-Books, or electronic books, are books that can bedownloaded and read using an electronic device such as a PC,laptop, or specialized handheld reader. Specialized portabledevices for reading e-Books and software based e-books arecommercially available, while Adobe Acrobat e-Book Reader andMicrosoft Reader are examples of free e-Book readers.

D Digitisation Process

I The process of digitisation enumeratedin the following diagram.

Planning

Selection

Production

Storage

Retrieval and display

Testing and refining

Publishing/ release of collection

II Each of the processes listed in thediagram requires specialised equipment.

E Standards and Quality Control

I METADATA: Metadata formats shouldconform to national and internationalstandards to facilitate sharing ofelectronic resources. Metadata isinformation about the content such as:

Title of the item

Author/ Artist

Subject

Description

Publisher

Documents: Text, paragraphs, images & audio files

Data Capture: Manual data entry, optical character (OCR), imaging stored graphic files.

Data processing: Text may require conversion of diacritics images may need enhanced, amplification or compression

Storage: hard disk space, magnetic tape, CD-ROM

Retrieval/ Display

Chapter 1 CONTENT

Unique Identifier

Date

Format

Source

Other descriptive elements

II QUALITY CONTROL: Quality Control is vital to the digitisationprocess and the necessary mechanisms for ensuring thehighest standards must be put in place.

3 Recommendations:

A Institutions must identify and prioritise their needs for content tobe developed or acquired.

B The Virtual Library Consortium should ensure that unnecessaryduplication is minimised while maximising useful redundancy, back-up and sharing.

C The institutional stakeholders should identify the most appropriatecontent delivery and sharing mechanisms for their own use

Management Arrangements

1 Where there is no existing in-house expertise, training should beoutsourced.

2 Schedules of pending digitisation should electronically shared and aConsortium union catalogue should be established. This is to reduceduplication and save costs.

Action Plan

The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, willundertake the following:

1 Short-term:

A Creation of awareness among the stakeholders.

B Constitution of a selection policy committee.

C Articulation of selection policy.

D Adoption of national standards and formulation of editorial policy.

E Initiate process of acquisition and development.

2 Medium-term:

A Training of staff and users.

B Acquisition and digitization of materials.


C Evaluation of standards and editorial policy.

3 Long-term:

A Continue digitization of Local content from stakeholders andAcquisition of new content.

B Review and evaluation of content and policies.

C Training and retraining of personnel and users.

Conclusion

1 The quality of the Virtual Library is predicated on its content.

2 Nigeria has a large number of Institutions of Higher Educationand Research which hold and generate vast quantities ofresearch output that will enrich the nation and the world whenmade available through the Virtual Library.

3 By making public records available, the Virtual Library will preserve andenhance the democratic process, good governance, accountability andtransparency.

4 By enriching the Institutions of Higher Education, the VirtualLibrary will improve the quality of their outputs, and thereby thequality of all other levels of education.

5 The Virtual Library should therefore be the corner stone in therejuvenation of Nigeria’s Educational system and the realisation of manynational regional and international development goals including:

I Educational For All (EFA)

II New Partnerships for Africa’s Development (NEPAD)

III Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

C Connectivity and bandwidth needs

D Power requirements

E Ergonomics and environmental needs


1 Options list

A Network Infrastructure: Six optional levels have beenenvisaged based on Institutional populations, financialcapabilities and sophistication. They include:

I Level 1: Stand-alone PC with CD ROMDrive, modem and printer. Variants ofthis consist of:

The above system with CD-Writer,Scanner.

The above system with aremovable/ replaceable hard disk.

II Level 2: An isolated peer to peer local areanetwork consisting of one data entry PC and twousers PC’s.

III Level 3: A local area network (LAN)using a “bus topology” consisting of Twodata entry PC’s and ten user PC’s. Sucha network could either be peer to peer orhave a server and may or may not be on-line.

IV Level 4: A LAN using a“bus topology” consisting of at least one server, two dataentry PC’s, ten user PC’sand the full complement of digitisation accessories. Such anetwork should be always on-line.

V Level 5: An always on-linecampus wide network consisting of individual LAN’s in the


libraries, faculties, central access laboratories, student andstaff residences.

VI Level 6: Clusters of co-located institutions can be inter-linkedvia fibre optic cable, wireless, point to multi-point microwavelinks and other technologies. The same applies to multi-campus institutions whose units are within the range of thesetechnologies.

B Access technology:

I Off-line technologies

II Dial-up – normal fixed land telephone line

III Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)

IV Direct Synchronous Link (xDSL)

V Wireless - short range radio link

VI Radio - medium range radio link

VII Very Small Aperture Satellite (VSAT) earth station

VIII Fibre Optic Cable Links

IX Virtual Private Network (VPN)

C Energy and power conditioning:

I Isolated Generation

II Solar Photo-Voltaic (PV)

III Small Hydropower Systems (SHP)

IV Wind Power

V National Grid Supply through the National Electric PowerAuthority (NEPA)

D Software:

I Operating systems software such as Windows, Unix, Linux,Apache, Solaris, OS/2, Macintosh OS/X and their variants.

II Application software:

Digital Archiving software such as Greenstone, Zope, Zylab,Digifile, LaserFisch, DocuWare and OpenDoc

Anti-virus and firewall

Optical character Recognition

E-Publishing software like Adobe Acrobat, MS-Word andother document processing software


Browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, NetscapeNavigator and Opera

Library Automation Software such as ALICE for Windows, X-Lib, GLASS and VTLS. However, the focus of thisfeasibility study is the setting up of a Virtual Libraryand not the Automation of Traditional Libraries whichis an adjunct task.

2 Evaluation of Options and Recommendations:

A Network Infrastructure:

I Because of the varying status of individual institutions thespecific option adopted will depend on the Institution’sstrategic plan, population, financial capabilities andsophistication.

II Storage Standards and Backup Methods: Nodes shoulddetermine the optimum storage media in collaboration withVirtual Library Consortium using the appropriate best practicesas enumerated in UNESCO’s National Digitisation Policy andother applicable documents. Every node of the Virtual Librarywill implement a backup strategy that has a combination ofon-site and off-site storage methods for the backup media.

B Access technology:

I The specific access media used should be informed by theneeds of the specific institution under consideration. CD-ROM’s, hard disks, thumb drives and related movable mediacan be used to update stand-alone systems. As a costsaving strategy external on-line updates to an Intranetcan be scheduled to take place during off-peak hours.

II The TCP/IP suites of networking and Internet access protocolsare well established, widely supported, and best suited for theVirtual Library.

III The desirable bandwidth for Internet connectivity is aminimum of 6 Kilobit bandwidth per user terminal, providedmechanisms are put in place to ensure effective use ofavailable bandwidth. For Virtual Libraries that will enableaccess to their materials via the net, Symmetrical bandwidth ismuch more desirable over asymmetrical bandwidth. Forlibraries that would not want to publish their own contents, orwould rather replicate their content to a central access point,an asymmetrical bandwidth is suitable and adequate.


IV For remote locations that require connectivity via VSAT, the C-Band frequency is recommended as opposed to Ku-Band. Thisis because although Ku Band equipment and Access ischeaper, it is more susceptible to adverse weather conditionssuch as rain and rain clouds.

V Internetworks (MAN’s)/ Campus Networks and Intranets.They include:

Fibre Links : It is recommended that large, and thoseinstitutions that are clustered within 5kms from each other,be encouraged to install and operate fibre optic backbonelinks for optimal interconnectivity and future proofing. Thecost of laying fibre cables is on the decrease, and relativelyaffordable.

Instrumentation Security and Management (ISM) 2.4Ghz Radio Links: ISM Radio frequency signals can transmit overdistances of up to 5km and maintain its designated speed of11Mbps. The current policy of the NigerianCommunications Commission (NCC) allows HigherEducational Institutions to use this frequency. In additionNational Information Technology Development Agency(NITDA) is deploying a national Public Service Networkusing VSAT and ISM technology.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) : VPNs enable the harnessingof various network services including the Internet viamultiple communication media, as opposed to installing adirect link.

VI Furniture Ergonomics: The furniture and equipment includingcomputer tables, chairs, keyboards and pointing devices usedshould be ergonomic, thereby causing the least physicaldiscomfort to users.

VII Environment & Ambiance: The user environment should befamiliar, well designed, environmentally friendly and pleasant.

C Energy and power conditioning:

I Isolated Generation: These are power sources that utilizefossil fuels mainly Petrol or Diesel. These generators areeasily deployable and can be deployed to any part of thecountry. Installation is easy. They also have a relatively lowinitial cost. However, they are not environmentally friendlyand not scalable as demand increases. For a Virtual Library tooperate around the clock, two units of isolated generators willbe required per location.

II Solar Photo-Voltaic (PV): This is a system that coverts solarenergy into electrical energy using an array of solar cells. It iseasily deployable to any part of the country due to the high


intensity of solar radiation over the country. It has minimalmaintenance activity with a life-span of about Twenty Fiveyears. Installation is easy, though with a high initial systemcost. However, the cost of ownership over its life-span isrelatively low. It is very environmentally friendly and scalable

III Small-Hydropower Systems (SHP): Small-Hydropowersystems convert hydropower potential of a flowing river intoelectrical power. They offer emission-free power solutions formany remote communities throughout the world. Hydropowerpotential is wide-spread all over the country but is relativelyunexploited. It has a relatively low initial and operational cost,but is not easily deployable because it is location specific.

IV Wind Power: Wind Power systems convert wind energy intoelectrical energy. This is an inexhaustible energy source thatis available to specific regions of the country. It requiresmeteorological data that is readily available for the entirecountry. It is environmentally friendly. It has a high initialcost with a reasonable Total Cost of Ownership. Scalability iseasily done for wind power system.

V National Power Utility: The National Electric Power Authority(NEPA) operates and manages the national grid supply existingin most locations nationwide. However, it services are attimes epileptic and nonexistent in some cases. Interconnection cost is low and easy, with a relatively low cost ofusage. However, the epileptic nature of the supply andlocation of Higher Education Institutions outside economiczones are major source of concern for a Virtual Library.

D Software:

I Operating systems software:

Linux and Apache are free open source operating systemsoftware, but the manpower and the skills to install andmaintain them are scarce and expensive. However, wherethe manpower is already available in-house or can bereasonably trained and as a long-term strategy of acapacity building policy, Apache on Linux should beused.

Commercial software such as Unix, Solaris, OS/2 andMacintosh OS/X suffer the same lack of sufficient localtechnical expertise and high maintenance cost. Windows,particularly 2000 Server is the most widely used operatingsystem platform by Library Automation software and shouldtherefore be used for the Library Automation process.Windows XP, which is often bundled withworkstation hardware, can be used at the userworkstations.


II Application software:

UNESCO’s Greenstone software is suggested because it isfree, while the product and related capacity building aresupported by UNESCO

Anti-virus and firewall. The Virtual Library should subscribeto free Anti-virus software like AVG, Sophos - mail-scan,PC-Cillin, and free firewalls like in-built Windows XPfirewall, Sygate, Zone Alarm and Tiny Personal Firewall andSophos firewall that allows for upgrading from the internet.These should be installed on the server and theworkstations as appropriate. It should be noted that theadvanced versions of the above software attract a fee. Theidentification, evaluation and utilisation of free opensource, as well as commercial, software requirecapacity building.

Several Optical Character Recognition (OCR) products arebundled with scanning hardware and office suite softwareapplication bundles.

Basic e-Publishing software like Star office and AdobeAcrobat are free. However, to derive full benefits theAdobe suit should be purchased. Other commercialproducts such as MS-Word and other document processingsoftware could also be considered.

Browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer,Netscape Navigator and Opera are free and oftenbundled with the operating systems or other softwarepackages including Greenstone.

F Recommendations:

A The start-up level, type, quantum and sophistication oftechnology deployed must be suitable for the particularinstitution being considered.

B An institution may opt to deploy all or some of the optionsprovided above, based on need.

C Intermediate options and their combinations should also beconsidered.

D Remote locations that want to participate in the Virtual Libraryproject will connect using the most suitable access technologyas discussed variously above.


1 Every network operating system has some in-built networkmanagement facilities. However, to ensure effective utilisation of


bandwidth, it is necessary to procure network monitoring software anddevelop policies for network security, access and maintenance.

2 The Virtual Library Consortium should facilitate the creation of policiesthat foster broad based partnerships with other institutions and theprivate sector.

3 Each node including the Virtual Library Consortium should establish andshare extended help desk functions including alerts, software patches,best practices, specific expertise and emerging technologies.

4 All stakeholders should log and share hardware and software problemsand solutions deployed as part of the construction of a collectivememory and inform on upgrades and replacements as well as spareparts.

5 The stakeholders through the Virtual Library Consortium should agreeon minimum equipment and software specifications.

Action Plan


1 Short-term:

A Virtual Library strategic planning by nodes and the Virtual LibraryConsortium

B Institutional and/ or cluster specific assessment of status and needs

C Identification and prioritisation of appropriate technology optionsand combinations

D Deployment of adopted Virtual Library infrastructure according toscheduled priorities

E Capacity building begins

F Establishment of help desks

2 Medium-term:

A Monitoring and evaluation of deployment

B Plan and institute maintenance arrangements

C Develop in-house troubleshooting and basic maintenancecapabilities

D Capacity building continues

E Infrastructural expansion and/ or scaling up including bandwidthrequirements.


3 Long-term:

A Monitoring and evaluation of deployment

B Review maintenance arrangements

C Assess Infrastructure for replacement and/ or upgrading

D Capacity building continues

Conclusion

1 The infrastructure should be configured and conform to the overallneeds of the user, administration, human resources and operationalenvironment, not vice-versa.

2 Institutions have varying Information Communication Technologystatus, populations, strategic priorities, capacities, resources andoperating environments and accordingly they will each have differentstart options and combinations of topologies and technologies.

3 Co-located institutions should be encouraged to form clustersfor the cost effective sharing of resources and bandwidth in-particular.

4 It is more cost effective and rational to provide content via an Intranetwhere possible instead of the Internet.

5 Availability of free open source software resources, some of which haveinfluential support bases, reduces take off costs provided investment ismade in building human capacity.

6 There are a variety of content delivery vehicles available including e-books, e-mail, CD-ROM, Hard Disks, cache/ proxies on the internet aswell as web access. They should optimally be used in combination asrequired to make access to the Virtual Library as ubiquitous as possible.

7 The rapidity of technology change is such that equipment and humanresources require constant updating. This can only be achieved using aprivate sector based approach since government may not be able toprovide the continuity of funding amidst competing sectoral demands.

8 Due to the mobility of expertise a private sector based approach shouldbe deployed to Human Resources Management for the Virtual Library

Aims and Objectives

1 Identify and review management options and recommend a best-fit forNigerian Higher Education Institutions (Higher Education Institutions) thatwould ensure transparency, cost-effectiveness, resource sharing, properownership and sustainability of the Virtual Library.

2 Identify participatory roles and responsibilities for stakeholder institutions.

3 Formulate a management arrangement that would significantly reduceVirtual Library project risks.


1 Options list

The following alternative ways of organising a Virtual Library wereconsidered:

A Centralised System- Where there is a strong Centre (Coordinatingbody) and everything (management, content, budget, etc) is decidedthere

B Decentralised System- This is where the units or member institutionsare autonomous and have little or nothing to do with the centre orCoordinating body. They decide on their budget by themselves,decide on content individually, source materials independently andmay have little collaboration with other member institutions or theCoordinating Centre.

C Partially Decentralised System- Here, roles are defined for the centralbody as well as the member institutions. Administration isDecentralised, funding responsibility is shared, infrastructure isDecentralised, content development is Decentralised but with a back-up at the centre, training will be both at the local and central levels,etc. Where donation is made to the project, this will be centralisedand allocated based on a guideline to be evolved. A variant of thisalternative is where some specialization is introduced, and somemember libraries may specialize in developing materials on particularsubjects.

5 Recommendation

A The recommended organisation structure for the Virtual Library is thedecentralised system.

B The central coordinating body should be called the Virtual LibraryConsortium.

C The Virtual Library Consortium coordinating body will act as theregulator and facilitator of the Virtual Library Stakeholders. TheVirtual Library Consortium coordinating body will not be adirect implementer or operational node of the Virtual Library.

D In the implementation of this option, the Virtual Library elementof the library should only be a unit within the existing librarystructure. Where the existing library has a good computer unit, thecapacity of the staff there should be enhanced to handle thedigitization process of the library. Where this is lacking, qualifiedpersonnel could be hired to implement the project in the library, andexisting staff must be retrained.

E The Virtual Library Consortium should act as the regulator ofthe participating Virtual Library stakeholder institutions andevolve mechanisms to ensure that shared equipment, nationalmaterials and other information resources at particular HigherEducation Institution site are maintained by such institutions.

F Therefore, UNESCO should facilitate the formation of a VirtualLibrary Consortium as described below.

E Project Assessment, Review and Modulation

Conclusion

1 For the Virtual Library to be useful, appropriate and relevant to, andsustainable by Higher Education Institutions, emerging from decades ofauthoritarian, arbitrary and over-centralized governance andadministration, Nigeria requires to re-empower its Higher EducationInstitutions to build capacity, innovate and cultivate a sense of ownershipfor problems and solutions that affect their fundamental functions andoperations.

2 Mandated to innovate, generate and refine content through research;disseminate organized content through teaching; and to serve as foci forNational development through community services, to over-centralize theVirtual Library would further disable the Higher Education Institutions bytaking away almost all their basic functions and render it a "white-elephant project" by alienating the project from its primary stakeholdersof students and staff of the Higher Education Institutions. This isparticularly true for a technology that changes so rapidly that only thoseemployed and paid to innovate and keep track of innovations, could hopeto maintain, update and advance the technology.

3 A consortium management arrangement that is wholly owned bymember institutions, whose operations derive from and areundertaken by the Higher Education Institutions, facilitated by acoordinating centre to encourage resource sharing, serve as aclearing house and confer benefits of economies of scale would beconsistent with global trends, be more attractive to donors,empower Higher Education Institutions, and greatly reduceproject risks and render the Virtual Library to be need-specific,useful and sustainable.

CHAPTER 4

LEGAL, COPYRIGHT & PAYMENTISSUES

Chapter 4 LEGAL, COPYRIGHT & PAYMENT ISSUES

Aims and Objectives

1 Identify, and examine the relevant legal and copyright issues, which mayarise in the course of establishing and managing a Virtual Library byinstitutions of Higher Education in Nigeria.

2 Align the operations of the Virtual Library with the provisions of theexisting copyright laws.

A Issues considered include the provisions of the law as regardsprotection, transfer, infringement, penalty, as well as exceptions tocopyright control, as they affect institutions of Higher Education.

B In particular, exceptions to copyright control as enumerated in theNigerian Deposit Law in section 64 of the Laws of Nigeria LN61 of1970.

3 Appraise payment related-matters, including structures and modalitywithin the framework of the copyright law.


1 Applicable Law

The Copyright Act, chapter 68 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria1990 (as amended), is the relevant statute regarding copyright protectionin Nigeria. The Act contains some important provisions, which willguarantee the operations of the Virtual Library without the risk ofinfringement of copyright, including:

A General Nature of copyright

Copyright is the right conferred by statute on the author of creativeworks to control acts that may be done in relation to such work by athird party. Section I (I) of the Copyright Act lists the broad categoryof works which are eligible for copyright protection to include: literaryworks, musical work, artistic, cinematograph films, sound recordingand broadcast. The basic rights conferred on authors of the protectedworks include the right to do or authorise the doing of any of thefollowing acts:

I Reproducing the works in any material form

II Publishing the work

III Performing the work in public

IV Producing, reproducing, performing or publishing any translationof the work;

V Making any cinematograph film or a record in respect of the work

VI Distributing to the public for commercial purposes copies of thework by ways of rental, lease, hire, loan, or similar arrangements

VII Broadcasting or communicating the work to the public in a loudspeaker or any other similar devise

VIII Doing in relation to the translation or adaptation of the work anyof the acts specified in (i.) to (viii) above.

IX To do any of these acts without the expressed authorization ofthe copyright owner amounts to an infringement, which maygive, rise to civil or criminal liability.

B Exceptions from Copyright Control

The second schedule to the Copyright Act creates exceptions tocopyright control in respect of certain uses of copyrighted works.Paragraphs (a), (h), (k), (q) and (r) of the schedule are particularlyimportant as they make provision for use of copyright works in noncommercial settings like educational institutions, public libraries, noncommercial documentation centres and similar institutions. Theschedule states thus:

I “The right conferred in respect of a work by section 5 of this Actdoes not include the right to control -

II The doing of any of the acts mentioned in the said paragraph 5by way of fair dealing for purposes of research, private use,criticism or review or the reporting of current event, subject tothe condition that if the use is public, it shall be accompanied byan acknowledgement of the title of the work and its authorshipexcept where the work is incidentally included in a broadcast;

III Any use made of a work in an approved educational institutionfor the educational purposes of that institution, subject to theconditional that if a reproduction is made for any such purpose itshall be destroyed before the end of the prescribed period, or ifthere is not prescribed period, before the end of the period of 12months after it was made;

IV Any use made of the work by or under the direction or control ofthe Government, or by such public libraries, non-commercialdocumentation centres and scientific or other institutions as maybe prescribed, where the use is in the public interest, no revenueis derived there from an no admission fee is charged for thecommunication, if any, to the public of the works so used;

V The making of not more than three copies of a book (including apamphlet, sheet music, map, chart or plan) by or under thedirection of the person in charge of a public library for the use ofthe library if such a book is not available for sale in Nigeria;

VI The reproduction for the purpose of research or private study ofan unpublished literary or musical work kept in a library,museum, or other institution to which the public has access.”


VII However, the critical conditions for the exceptions are thefollowing:

The use must be for educational purpose;

no revenue should be derived there from, and no admissionfees should be charged for the purpose of making copyrightworks available to the public;

the use should not be prejudicial to the interest of copyrightowners.

VIII These exceptions are applicable to the Virtual Library, making itpossible to operate with minimal requirement for the usualcopyright licenses or authorisation. It is, therefore, necessaryfor implementers of the scheme to design appropriate modalitiesto ensure that the operation of the scheme is kept within theambit of the stipulated exceptions.

2 Payment

Taking cognisance of the need for the scheme to adopt a self sustainingstrategy through some fund generation mechanism, adoption of a feecharging policy that will be compatible with the fair dealing principlesunder the law is necessary. Consequently, it is recommended that alibrary fee system, which has been a well-recognised practice ininstitutions, be continued with necessary modifications. Such fees mayhowever be adjusted upwards but generally kept within affordable range,while students and other members of the academic community areguaranteed access to the facility from any point. For the purpose of thelatter, convenient access methods are recommend as follows:

A For persons who are outside the institutional environment, accessmay be given through the use of scratch cards, which will be valid fora specified period.

B For Students and Staff of the member institutions, there are fourpayment options:

I Web Based Payments Solutions – This solution requires thatinstitutions develop appropriate web interface to enable users tointeract and communicate with the institution and its VirtualLibrary from within and outside the campus locations for allactivities including payments.

II E-Mail Based Payment System - The e-mail based systemcollects payment from potential payers and transmits via e-mailto the payee.

III Smart - ID Cards. – These are multi-functional, multi-applicationcards embedded with an electronic purse.

IV Scratch Cards - The card will carry varying monetary valuesreflecting span of period of access and expiration

3 Licensing and Authorisation

It is necessary to ensure that the provisions of the copyright law areadhered to in the operations and services of the VIRTUAL LIBRARY. Theavailable options for securing license include:

A Direct negotiation, whereby the library will approach individualcopyright owners to negotiate for the grant of licence and terms thereof;

B Securing licence directly, or through the Virtual Library Consortium,from management agencies, or vendors, that act on behalf ofcopyright owners. This option should be given serious considerationas it has the advantage of providing a large repertoire of works andeconomies of scale.

3 Recommendations

A Institutions in collaboration with the Virtual Library Consortium mustidentify and select the payment mechanism most suited to theirpeculiar needs and circumstances.

B The quantum of charges should be deregulated to institutions.

C The Virtual Library Consortium should be incorporated as aFoundation limited by guarantee and facilitated by UNESCO andGovernment.

D Government should update the existing copyright laws to enablethem to meet the demands of electronic publishing, disseminationand use.

E The Virtual Library Consortium and nodes must ensure that they arecurrent at all times with international copyright laws and conventions.


1 The Virtual Library Consortium (VLC) will act as the regulator andfacilitator of the Virtual Library Stakeholders.

2 The Virtual Library Consortium in collaboration with stakeholderinstitutions should develop standards and mechanisms to monitor theusage of Virtual Library materials and sanctions in the case of copyrightabuses.

3 The choice of monitoring and payment systems stated above andsubsequently selected by the stakeholder institution has implications forthe management of copyright and associated liabilities.

Action Plan

The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, will undertakethe following:


1 Short-term:

A To sensitise operators and users of Virtual Library on the need toadhere to copyright principles as enshrined in the Copyright Act andother relevant international instruments to which Nigeria is signatory.This will be done using the media, workshops, conferences,newsletters, on-line discussion groups.

B Legislative amendments to the existing Nigerian Copyright Act, asamended in 1999, should be effected to make the provisions relevantto the digital environment. Such amendments should be initiatedwithin the first year of this exercise and completed not later than 24months.

2 Medium-term:

A Appropriate payment modalities and schemes be developed, testedand perfected within 24 months.

B Initiate arrangements for country-wide subscriptions for variousinternational full-text bibliographic databases.

C Develop the copyright caption mechanisms for the Virtual Librarywebsites, and for works available on the Virtual Library.

3 Long-term:

A Enforcement of copyright compliance.

B Periodic review of the copyright law to accommodate changingtechnologies and operating environment.

C Periodic review of payment and related mechanisms.

Conclusion

1 The Virtual Library can commence operations under existing copyrightlaws.

2 The existing copyright laws will, however, require updating to enable themmeet the demands of electronic publishing, dissemination and use.

3 There is a need for the stakeholder institutions to develop standards andmechanisms to monitor copyright abuses and determine sanctions.

4 Virtual Library charges and payments should be limited to chargeson facilities and overhead, as opposed to charges for use ofmaterials. Uses and charges for copyrighted materials shouldcomply with the relevant copyright laws.

5 Each institution should adopt the payment option(s) appropriate to itstechnological infrastructure and managerial capacity as well as its peculiarcircumstances.

CHAPTER 5

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Chapter 5 HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Aims and Objectives

1 Prepare staff to cope with the present and anticipated needs anddemands of the users and the society at large.

2 Impart knowledge, skills, ideas, experience and information to facilitateeasy integration and assimilation.

3 Ensure competence and capacity to enhance performance andproductivity to cope with the expectations and tasks of the VirtualLibrary.

4 Promote harmonious industrial relations, positive change in attitudesand behaviours as well as broadening the minds of the workforce at alllevels through acquisition and exchange of information, ideas,knowledge, skills and experiences within and outside the library andinformation centre.

5 Identify and review management options and recommend a best-fit forNigerian Higher Education Institutions that would ensure transparency,cost-effectiveness, resource sharing, proper ownership andsustainability of the Virtual Library

6 Facilitate appropriate enlightenment and user education to ensure theproper and optimal utilisation of the Virtual Library.


1 Options list

A Types of training: All categories of library and informationworkers marshalled for Virtual Library systems and servicesneed to be educated, trained and retrained to conform totheir new duties and responsibilities. Some of the avenuesreadily available for capacity building in a typical information orknowledge centre include:

I Full-time training programme

II Part-time training programme

III On-the-job training and apprenticeship or internship

IV Short-term training programme in specific area of interest tothe success of the organization and the Virtual Library system

V In-service training programme with all the accompanyingfinancial and material benefits to the trainee

VI Self-sponsored training endeavour by the trainee, especiallyfor personal improvement in an area of interest

VII Conferences, seminars and workshops

VIII Distance learning programme


B Sources of training

I In-house

II Out-sourced


A The choice of which type of training programme should the libraryand information workers attend or benefit from for the VirtualLibrary will largely depend upon several factors in the organization,these include:

I The human resource development policy

II The existing and anticipated skills and knowledge required ofthe staff

III The financial and material support available

IV The existing avenues available for staff development

V The cost of the training programme.

VI The type of staff currently available in the system ororganization.

B In-house training

I Merits of In-house training are:

Builds capacity

Cost effective

Forges team spirit

Minimises loss of man-hour/productivity

II Demerits of In-house training are:

Distractions by other duties and responsibilities

No cross fertilization with people of other organizations

No Networking

C Outsourced Training

I Merits of Outsource training:

Experienced consultant or firm

Participants horizon widens through cross fertilization

Meeting people from different organizations

Change of environment is refreshing

II Demerits of Outsourced training:


Could be expensive

Re-entry of staff could be a problem

Risk of loosing staff through poaching


1 Human Resource Functions: The following generic human resourcefunctions at the nodes are subject to modifications after proper “needsanalysis” at the node. The generic job functions to be performed in aVirtual Library node and the calibre of personnel to be required are asfollows:

A The Librarian: Supervision of all aspects of the development ofthe Virtual Library. Sources for materials, digitizes, uploads andmanages the overall resources of the Virtual Library system at thenode.

B Acquisition/ Collection Development Librarian: Identifies theresources and arranges acquisition

C Digitization Officer: Converts material into electronic format

D System Administrator: Manages the network infrastructure

E Webmaster: Provides the wherewithal of composing anduploading digitized information on to the Web

F User Assistants and attendants including:

I Web Navigator: Assists users of the Virtual Library to findtheir ways on the web

II Indexers: Summarises documents and created abstracts

G The quality and quantity of staff required depends on the functionsand size of the node.

2 Compensation, Motivation & Retention

A The attainment of high-level staff performance and provision ofquality service should be the major focus of the Virtual Library.These and other objectives can only be achieved when staff areadequately compensated and motivated. It should be realized thatthe Virtual Library is coming on-stream in Nigeria at a time whenthe required expertise in Information Communication Technologygenerally is in short supply. Necessary provision in the condition ofservice in the Virtual Library staff should be made to ensure thatstaff have job satisfaction and security. This is to encourage staffto remain with, and give their best to, the system.

B The foregoing should be taken into consideration in determiningappropriate remuneration and compensation to the staff. Staff ofthe Virtual Library should be well compensated; in monetary and


non-monetary forms. The remunerations should be comparable tothose in the private sector. Motivational packages should be builtin the salary of employees.

C Provision of incentives, monitory and non-monitory, positive andnegative will be structured in a manner that will enhance staffretention capacity.

3 Career development

A Career is the entire process which an employee undergoes rightfrom first day on the job to the time when he leaves the job. Thecareer structure of employees of the Virtual Library should be welldeveloped to encourage professionalism. The career ladder shouldbe such that movement should be flexible. The environment of theVirtual Library should be designed so as to avoid career stress.

B The establishment of the Virtual Library should be complementary.However, it is expected that as the expansion of the Virtual Libraryprogresses and the traditional libraries deploy InformationCommunication Technology to improve services, there might beneed to redeploy staff and harmonise library functions.

4 Social contract

A An important component of capacity building in developingcountries is the opportunity provided to create new jobopportunities for the people of the country. Partnerships thatsupport human development are preferable to those that offerquicker, and often cheaper off-site conversion, but which ignore thesocial upliftment of job creation.

B Human resource development should be aimed at breaking thedigital divide. The Internet provides global information sharing,changing the way in which users interact with informationresources. The boundary to knowledge dissemination is no longerowned and distributed in an unequal hierarchy from the dispenser(the librarian or archivist) to the user. The value of information isno longer vested in its ownership, but in the trusted value-addedservices of skilled information professionals to guide and direct theuser in turning the overwhelming volume of electronic informationinto knowledge.

C The social implications and impact of digitization are enormous. Itwill eventually create jobs, provide a pool of confident andcompetent work force, provide local content, and open upopportunities for jobs, and for import and export of goods andservices.

5 Management of change

A Peoples’ natural aversion to change is legendry, especially whereavailable personnel perceive themselves to be old, ill-prepared andvulnerable. The opportunity for them to be trained and retrained


to remove the fear of, and resistance to, change must be clearlyoffered very early in the reorganization process. For the VirtualLibrary project to succeed in all the participating libraries there willbe the need for a culture shift among the staff who work there, andthe users of the library. This will see

I The Collection Development Librarians adapting to selection ofInternet sources

II Reference Librarians engaging in the design and publication ofelectronic services and resources

III Interlibrary loan will encompass electronic receipt of user-initiated requests, and end-user electronic document deliveryreserves will grow to include an electronic full text format.

B All these will require staff to attain a greater depth and breadth ofknowledge. Capacity building will be better and effectivelyachieved by encouraging partnerships with acclaimed consultants,institutions or individuals with proven experience in the use ofthese new technologies and who are willing to transfer the skills.

C Accordingly, one of the first steps is to identify such institutions andsources of partnerships and identification of every aspect of thechange process with the available human resources.

6 Requirements

A Fair representation of all stakeholders.

B Availability of infrastructure

C Capacity to do what the different nodes could do and allow for backup of systems

D Technical capacity of nodes must be synchronized.

7 Recommendation

A Training programme: The programme for capacity building inlibraries and information centres should include courses inInformation and Communication Technology (InformationCommunication Technology) applications, competences and skills,financial, management, public relations, information preservationand archiving, management information systems (MIS), reportwriting, Total Quality Management (TQM) and knowledgemanagement.

B The training requirement for staff of a Virtual Library node is asfollows:

I Basic computer appreciation modules

II Internet and intranet browsing

III Website designing


IV Scanning and digitization

V HTML and PDF modules

VI Machine readable catalogue (MARC)

VII Desktop publishing

VIII Indexing and abstracting

IX Proposal/Report writing

X Time Management

XI System administration and management

XII Networks and Internetworks

XIII Hardware and Software maintenance

XIV Fundraising

XV Financial Management

XVI Project Writing and Management

C Training content: The content of training must be carefullyselected to prepare the available manpower adequately foridentified tasks while also discouraging the possibility of the projectbecoming a training platform for all markets. The certificateearned from such training should be capable of forging a careerdevelopment

D Twenty five percent (25%) of the Virtual Library budget ateach node, and the Virtual Library Consortium, should be setaside for training.

Action Plan


1 Short-term:

A Conduct staff audit by the nodes

B Evolve a Human Resource Development policy.

Conclusion

1 It is necessary for each Higher Education Institution to re-organize itslibrary functions and carry out, as appropriate, a library and informationscience curriculum review so as to provide the much-needed trainingand retraining to ensure the availability of the right crop of personnelthat will cope with the challenges of Knowledge Management.

2 In order to ensure quality assurance in training, it is necessary toconduct training needs analysis to determine personnel to be trained,training content, training providers (in-house and external), methods ofdelivery and training materials.

3 It is expected that existing Library Staff will be taught the skillsrequired, and thereby converted, to operate and manage theVirtual Library. This will ensure that staff recruitment andrelated overheads will be kept to the barest minimum. Any newstaff will be employed by the Institutions Library and deployedto the Virtual Library as deemed necessary by the Librarymanagement.

4 It is also expected that Libraries will encourage the participation ofInterns in the Virtual Library activities.

5 Staff performance reviews shall be periodically and diligently carried outto provide a qualitative and dedicated workforce.


6 Information Communication Technology are characterised by rapidchanges therefore mechanisms should be put in place to ensure thatstaff are frequently trained and updated.

CHAPTER 7

FUNDING AND SUSTAINABILITY

Chapter 7 FUNDING & SUSTAINABILITY


Aims and Objectives

1 Identify the sources of funds for the take-off of the Virtual Library.

2 Proffer strategies to sustain and develop the Virtual Library.


1 Options list. Potential Sources of Funding and Technical Assistance:

A Public Sector:

I Government Budget line;

II Government agencies and programs including but not limitedto the Education Tax Fund (ETF), Petroleum DevelopmentTechnology Fund (PTDF), Niger Delta DevelopmentCorporation (NDDC) and the Ecological fund etc.;

III Federal and State Government special fund allocation.

B Donor Agencies and Civil Society:

I Multilateral agencies like agencies of the United Nations andthe World Bank.

II Development agencies like Japan Funds in Trust, Departmentfor International Development (DFID), Swedish InternationalDevelopment Agency (SWIDA), United States Agency forInternational Development (USAID), the African Union (AU)and the European Union (EU).

III Donors lsuch as the MacArthur, Rockefeller, Soros, Ford,CISCO, Gates, AT&T and Carnegie foundations. InitiativesNigeria must strive to participate in include:

The Carnegie Mellon University with a grant from the USNational Science Foundation has embarked on the “MillionBook Project.” The scanning and text entry work isundertaken in India and China, and the e-material is madeavailable to US, Indian and Chinese academia. Nigeriawith its English speaking academic communityshould endeavour to partner and benefit from thistype of project.

III Initiatives that Nigeria must endeavour to partner withinclude:

“Million Book Project.”, which holds governmentdocuments and older titles particularly those whosecopyright has expired.

“Project Gutenberg”, which contains predominantly notcopyrighted classics, and currently has 10,000 items online


“International Children’s Digital Library”, with mainlychildren’s books written in the USA and Internationally.

“Children’s Books online: The Rosetta Project” whichinclude antique children’s books from around the world.

V Civil Society bodies like the Open Society Institute,Education for Development and Democracy Initiativeand The Partnership for Higher Education.

C Private Sector:

I Private providers of Higher Educational Institutions

II Local and multinational companies. Examples to considerinclude Amazon.com, the world’s largest on-line retailer, hasdeveloped and is implementing a business model that providesfully searchable text.

Amazon’s “Search inside the book” business model aimsto build the world’s largest digital book archive, and as atmid 2003 it had over 120,000 books. They haveaddressed many of the technological, copyright andmarketing issues as they relate to generatingsustainable profitability.

III Small Scale Enterprises. Models based on the “book mobile”that captures internet signals and prints books on demandin any locality in the USA for about US$1 per book andover 100,000 titles available.

IV Private Investors

V Partners

D Stakeholders:

I Membership fees

II Usage fees

III Rentals

Cyber cafés

IP Telephony

IV Charges for Consumables

Paper printouts

CD-ROM production

Diskette copies

V Commissions on:

Copyright payment


Website advertisement

Related income generating activities

VI Structure long-term debt instruments such as educationalmunicipal bond.

Each node would thus be challenged to support andeffectively market the bond.

The “municipal” aspect of the bond is important as it focuson the grass root community around the node.

E Community:

I Usage fees

II Development levies

F Non Virtual Library Consortium Libraries and Institutions

I Usage fees

II Donations

2 Evaluation of Options and Recommendations

A A Virtual Library is capital intensive, particularly in the absence ofthe required infrastructure and capacities as is the case in many ofNigeria’s Institutions of Higher Education.

B As is the case in most educational endeavours, it is unlikely thatthe totality of the Virtual Library can be financially viable from apurely commercial perspective. The real dividends lie in thedevelopment of human capital. However, it is feasible for theprivate sector to participate in aspects of the Virtual Library. Suchinvolvement will contribute to the overall financing andsustainability of the Virtual Library.

C Partnerships could be formed within the educational system as wellas with all the potential sources of funding and technical assistance.

D Corporate bodies will be a significant funding source, comprising ofthe following sub-groups:

I Corporate Image Enhancement: For these organisations theVirtual library provides an opportunity for 'giving back' to thecommunity and therefore improving their image as goodcorporate citizens.

II Business Development: For these entities participationprovides an opportunity to showcase their products andservices and also to begin to build life-long loyalty.

III Corporations, Governments, NGOs and their institutions andagencies that have specific Virtual Library content and staffdevelopment requirements that could be met by Virtual Library


Consortium members through partnerships and commissionedcapacity-building projects and programs.

E User and membership rates should be such that institutions andusers appreciate the services and contribute to the sustainability ofthe Virtual Library.


1 Accountability and transparency will be institutionalised at the nodesand the Virtual Library Consortium and supported by the appointment ofExternal Auditors whose reports will be in the public domain. Tofacilitate monitoring and auditing activities, donated or procuredequipment for the nodes and Virtual Library Consortium should beidentifiable.

2 The tasks of fundraising and developing linkages should be definitivelyassigned, and technically supported, at each node and the VirtualLibrary Consortium.

3 The management structure of the Virtual Library Consortium isenumerated in Chapter 3: Administration.

Action Plan


1 Short-term:

A Sensitise stakeholders and sectoral regulators

B Initiate contact with relevant government agencies.

C Initiate contact with institutions that provide structured long-termdevelopment debt instruments such as the stock exchange.

D Initiate contact with partner agencies including donors, non-governmental agencies, civil society and the private sector.

E Initiate linkage with complementary projects and agencies.

F Establish a culture of preparation, publishing and dissemination ofannual reports of activities for the nodes and the consortium.

G Establish a culture of preparation, publishing and dissemination ofaudited accounts for the nodes and the consortium.

H Identify and plan training on fund raising, financial and projectmanagement for nodal and consortium staff.

I Identify banking partners

J Establish financial management and accountability procedures

K Identify and appoint project auditors


L Develop and implement cost recovery policies.

2 Medium-term:

A Reviewing and adopting payment and related modalities.

B Conducting Institutional and consortium status review of financialneeds and sustainability plans.

C Commencement of training on fund raising, financial and projectmanagement for nodal and consortium staff.

D Preparation, publishing and dissemination of annual reports ofactivities for the nodes and the consortium

E Preparation, publishing and dissemination of audited accounts forthe nodes and the consortium

F Monitoring and evaluation

G Fundraising activities

H Broadening the Institutional and end user base

J Ongoing review and implementation of cost recovery policies fromusers and Higher Education Institutions

3 Long-term:

A Expansion of fundraising activities

B Further developing public private sector partnership strategies tosustain and develop the Virtual Library

C Continuous monitoring and evaluation

Conclusion

1 Globally, educational Information Communication Technology projectssuch as the Virtual Library are expensive but developmentally profitable,without necessarily being financially profitable. This is because thereal cost of not implementing the Virtual Library far outweightheir financial cost.

2 Nigeria and her partners must invest in the Virtual Library andcomplementary activities to ensure that her manpower outputs becomerelevant the new social and economic realities.

3 In the longer term, equipment costs represent not more than 10% oftotal Information Communication Technology projects’ cost, with 90% ofthe costs being expended on training technical staff and users. ForNigerian Higher Education Institutions, given their state of infrastructureand capacity, equipment costs are likely to be proportionally higher.

4 The challenge for Nigeria therefore, consists of how to find investmentfunds for the take-off of the Virtual Library and how to sustain the


project and render it useful for the project to yield the developmentaldividends.

5 Sustainability should be ensured first and foremost, throughrational project planning, financing and implementation usingappropriate scalable technology modules, and subsequentlythrough consortium membership dues, user charges, re-investments and partnerships with private and public sectoragencies as well as civil society.


CHAPTER 8

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

Chapter 8 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

Aims and Objectives

1 Provide an implementation schedule for the development of a VirtualLibrary for Institutions of Higher Education.

2 Draw up a range of appropriate scalable implementation modules andstrategies that various Institutions of Higher Education can adoptdepending on their circumstances.


1 Options list

A Types of Implementation

I Full scale “Big-bang” project approach. This option assumesthat all Higher Education Institutions are starting from the samelevel and all the funding, infrastructure, and capacities required willbe provided.

II Gradual development/ phased implementation approachand its variants. Phased implementation of the “big bang”approach enumerated above where institutions are selected basedon criteria such as: the need for every user to move up one stepfrom their present baseline, activity, age, readiness, sub-sector,availability of funds and geopolitical considerations.

III Hybrid. Combinations of the above approaches.

B Modes of Virtual Library implementation

I Full public sector

II Private sector driven

III Donor assisted

IV Public/ Private Partnership

2 Evaluation of Options and Recommendations:

A Modes of Implementation

I Full scale “Big-bang” project approach.

Merits:

Immediate availability of all the required funds

Immediate availability of Virtual Library resources foracademic use

Immediate political and administrative gratification andvisibility

Demerits:


This strategy has the highest project risks because itencourages corruption

It is wasteful of resources through sub-optimal utilisation offacilities and the likely failure to maintain and sustain theVirtual Library.

Does not allow for organic growth

May not inherently enhance our domestic capability

Is likely to be a drain on our foreign reserves

II Gradual development/ phased implementation approach.

Merits:

It is scalable and organic using a gradual building blockapproach.

Institutions grow at their own pace and as their capacities,management abilities and funding allow

Implementation progresses based on readiness, ability andcapability

Implementation mistakes are limited due to the inherentconstant evaluation and self correction process

It is transparent

Encourages constructive competition between stakeholderinstitutions

Digitisation of Institutions collections to grow at their ownpace

Demerits:

Full implementation will take longer to achieve

Unresponsive institutions, particularly those with rare orspecialised collections, can cause information gaps byfailing to make their materials available.

Implementation delays could discourage funding sources.

Possible inter and intra institutional bickering which mayslow down the process

3 Priorities and issues:

A Higher Educational Institutions lack current and up to date books,journals and other learning materials

B Higher Educational Institutions are at different start-up points withdifferent missions, priorities, needs and focus.


C The need for Nigeria to be producer of content and not just aconsumer of content.

D The scale of national infrastructure deficit is daunting.

E The availability of electricity is a critical infrastructural issue

F The high cost of bandwidth limits services and access

G Nigeria lacks the required human capacity to immediately manageand utilise a full scale Virtual Library

H The major dividend to be expected from the Virtual Library is toimprove the quality and standards of learning, teaching, researchand community services

I Government is the major proprietor of Higher EducationalInstitutions and should be expected to be the major facilitator tothe development of the Virtual Library.

J The private sector including business, industry and civil society hasas much at stake as other sectors in the quality of output of theHigher Educational Institutions.

K Higher Educational Institutions should be encouraged to innovateand sustain innovations by raising their level of confidence in theirability to do so and manage their own processes.

4 Critical tasks:

A Sensitisation and mobilisation such that Higher EducationalInstitutions take ownership of the process

B Formation of the Virtual Library Consortium and the appointment ofthe consortium coordinator

C Soliciting and securing public and private sector international andmultilateral partnerships

D Securing funding and technical support from Government, Donors,other funding agencies and the private sector.

E Development of a Virtual Library “How to manual” for the varioustechnology options

F Higher Educational Institution in-house identification of needs andresources to be digitized

G Adoption and deployment of appropriate start-up process andstandards by the Higher Educational Institutions

H Prioritisation of content to be developed and adoption of standardssuch as the union catalogue and other Virtual Library policies

I Prioritisation, procurement and sharing of content

J Capacity building and user education


K Monitoring and evaluation

5 Recommendations:

A Adopt a decentralised consortium management arrangement asenumerated in Chapter 3: Administration.

B UNESCO and Government should facilitate the formal registrationof the Virtual Library Consortium as a Foundation limited byguarantee as described in Chapter 4: Legal matters.

C A phased implementation strategy based on the premise thatevery user should move up one step beyond where they areas predicated on their current circumstances and situations, andnot premised on the failed traditional phasing criteria, such as thechoosing of centres of excellence, institution population size,existing technical circumstances, political or other criteria that lendthemselves to abuse. This is best done by the Virtual LibraryConsortium stakeholders after the level funding has been providedduring the first stages of implementation.

D The Virtual Library Consortium should develop mechanisms forprotecting content by minimising unnecessary duplication, whilemaximising resource sharing as discussed in Chapter 1 on Content.

E The Virtual Library should be used as a vehicle to project ourculture, values and capabilities while preserving our nationalheritage and collective memory.

F It is more feasible to adopt the Gradual development/phased implementation approach. This should be done in sucha manner that every user and node moves up one step from theirpresent baseline, rather than failed phasing approaches like thedesignation of centres of excellence, institution population size,existing circumstances, political or other criteria that lendthemselves to abuse.

G Institute strategies to ensure continuous monitoring,evaluation, accountability and transparency such as theregular publishing of audited accounts as recommended in “Chapter7: Funding and Sustainability.”

H At least twenty five percent (25%) of the budget should be setaside for capacity building as described in Chapter 5: HumanResources Management

I The type, quantum and sophistication of technology deployed mustconform to the needs of the user and Institution and be configuredto meet the needs of the institutions’ users, administration, humanresources and operational environment as mentioned in Chapter 2:Infrastructure and Connectivity.

J Institutions must be encouraged to partner with private sectorCyber-cafes, Internet Service Providers (ISP) Telecoms providers


and related organisations so that sub-consortia are formed toprovide on-campus access to the Virtual Library in a conducive,professional and cost effective manner acceptable all parties at theparticular node.


1 Setting up of an implementation mechanism to track and evaluateprogress, ensure transparency and standards.

2 Constant evaluation at the nodes and Virtual Library Consortium centrewill ensure success of the gradual implementation strategy

3 The Virtual Library Consortium will facilitate the creation a policy thatfosters broad based partnerships with other institutions and the privatesector.

4 Conscious efforts will be made to encourage professionalism andexcellence through motivation and career development programs andintra and inter institutional competition.

5 The selection of content for digitisation will ensure that rare or at riskmaterials are given priority attention.

6 Therefore, collaboration with UNESCO’s cultural heritage program willbe encouraged.

7 Preparation of operations manual for each component of the VirtualLibrary.

8 An implementation manual that will be duly informed by the operationsmanual will precede project implementation.

9 A manual on best practices will be developed and constantly updatedand shared as implementation progresses

Action Plan


1 Short-term:

A Formation of the Virtual Library Consortium facilitated by UNESCOand the Government.

B Build Virtual Library Consortium Membership through sensitisationof all stakeholders

C Initiate fund raising activities and partnerships

D Assessment of institutions to establish their baseline to inform startup activities and facilitate monitoring and evaluation.

E Virtual Library strategic planning by stakeholder institutions


G Selection of start-up levels, solutions and activities

H Preparation of operations, projection implementation and othermanuals, documents and procedures.

I Procurement and deployment of start-up solutions suite includingcapacity building and user enlightenment.

J Collation and assembly of freely available content and securingpermissions to reproduce and distribute using appropriate media.

K Regular project evaluation.

2 Medium-term:

A Virtual Library Consortium membership drive continues

B Expansion of the Virtual Library institutional user base

C Seeking copyright permissions and procuring country licenses forthe Virtual Library.

D Digitising high priority content by member Institutions

E Continued capacity building and user enlightenment as appropriate

F Review, consolidate and expand deployed solution models

G Initiate content specialisation by participating institutions

H Regular project evaluation.

3 Long-term:

A Institutions and the Virtual Library Consortium move to their nextappropriate levels

B Further expansion of Virtual Library.

C Capacity building continues

D Facilitate the emergence of centres of excellence.

E Virtual Library monitoring, review and evaluation.

Conclusion

1 The success of the Virtual Library depends to a great extent on thefunds available to implement, operate and sustain it.

2 Such funds are expected to be generated from Government, Donoragencies, non-governmental agencies, civil society and private sectorpartnerships, as well as from fees paid by users and individualinstitutions.

3 Cost savings can be achieved by ensuring that institutions thatare already in the process of establishing a Virtual Library


system are not penalised but rewarded by enhancing theirexisting Virtual Library activities.

4 Similarly institutions that have made significant progress in thedeployment of Information Communication Technology should beencouraged to integrate Virtual Library into their infrastructure.

5 The Virtual Library is an integral part of existing Library system and notan adjunct.

6 Therefore, existing library staff with designated Virtual Libraryfunctions should be given additional incentives to motivate andpromote their retention.

7 However, job mobility of staff with Information CommunicationTechnology skills requires that capacity drives will aim at developing alarge pool of skilled labour.

8 To ensure accountability and transparency it is necessary to institutemechanisms to conduct annual audit of consortium and nodal accountsand activities.


CONCLUSIONS

CONCLUSIONS

Operational Considerations


1 There is a shortage of books and other materials in all libraries of HigherEducation Institutions in Nigeria and therefore, the Virtual Library isneeded and necessary.

2 The private sector will be encouraged to invest, where possible, in theproject.

3 The Virtual Library will complement the functions and servicesof the existing traditional libraries.

4 The sustainability of the project is achievable if the right mix ofstakeholders is secured, and public/ private partnership.

5 Not all interested institutions are capable of implementing the project atthe same time

6 Interested institutions will be willing to commit or invest ownresources in the project.

7 Start-up funding from Government and the donor communitywill be required.

8 Institutions and the coordinating body will be encouraged to sourcefunds independently to finance this project.

9 The level of participation by interested institutions in the project mayvary between institutions.

10 The Virtual Library Consortium is starting with a zero-based budget.

11 Access to usage rather than ownership is preferable.

12 A Consortium, to be known as the Virtual Library Consortium, will beincorporated at the Corporate Affairs Commission, as a Foundationlimited by Guarantee. Its formation would be facilitated by Governmentand UNESCO, while its membership will be open to all Higher EducationInstitutions and interested organisations.

13 Founding members would serve as the Guarantors for the Consortiumand new members join as they are ready.

14 The quality and quantity of human resources available to manage theVirtual Library project is not sufficient.

15 Sustainability of the project is dependent on private sector, non-governmental organisation and civil society participation.

16 Sooner or later, all Higher Educational Institutions will by virtueof enlightened self interest, buy into the Virtual Library.

CONCLUSIONS

17 The directorates of Higher Education Institutions and that of PlanningResearch and Statistics of the Federal Ministry of Education do not havecomprehensive statistics on the number, status, population or level ofICT usage of Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria.

18 There are many statistics used which are believed to haveunderreported the student population. For example, NBTE only collectsenrolment information of polytechnic students enrolled in courses thatNBTE has accredited. Several Polytechnics offer a range of Certificateand remedial courses which NBTE does not track. We have found thatPolytechnics in urban locations have more students than NBTE statisticsindicate, and in some cases over twice what the NBTE statistics show.

19 A regular budget line will be created by the Federal and StateGovernments and Private Proprietors of Higher EducationInstitutions for the project.

20 While donor agencies and the Nigerian private sector are identified aspossible sources of fund for the project, the bulk of the funding isexpected to come from Government sources and also from usercharges.

21 Capital & recurrent votes will be released on schedule, and eachinstitution of higher learning will set aside a portion of the capital voteand a small percentage of its recurrent vote for the Virtual Libraryproject.

21 Education Tax Fund and the Petroleum Technology Development Fundare expected to provide substantial funding for the project

22 The project can be self-sustaining through the levying of sufficient feesand charges to be paid by students for access to the Virtual Library.

23 The projected user populations of the 500 Government owned HigherEducation Institutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, researchand development are:

I VLC Office: 1 Institution with 15 staff = 15 potential users

II Level 6: 20 Institutions with 20,000 staff and students = 400,000potential users

III Level 5: 35 Institutions with 12,000 staff and students = 420,000potential users

IV Level 4: 50 Institutions with 9,000 staff and students = 450,000potential users

V Level 3: 200 Institutions with 5,000 staff and students =1,000,000 potential users

VI Level 2: 135 Institutions with 500 staff and students = 67,500potential users


VII Level 1: 59 Institutions with 50 staff and students = 2,950potential users

VIII Total potential users, in Government owned Higher EducationInstitutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research anddevelopment is about 2,340,465.

24 There are estimated to be over 335 Private Higher EducationInstitutions whose estimated user and staff populations are

I Very Large: 10 Institutions with up to 5,000 staff and students =50,000 potential users

II Large: 25 Institutions with up to 1,000 staff and students =25,000 potential users

III Medium: 100 Institutions with up to 500 staff and students =50,000 potential users

IV Small: 200 Institutions with up to 50 staff and students = 10,000potential users

V Total potential users, in Private Sector owned Higher EducationInstitutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research anddevelopment is about 135,000 which is equivalent to 5.77% ofthe users of the Government owned Higher EducationInstitutions. These numbers are changing as new Private Sectorowned Higher Education Institutions are licensed by Government tooperate and existing ones expand.

25 Of the total potential users only 30% are likely to use the Virtual Libraryregularly.

26 The ratio of Institutional size to number of computers suggested to beassigned is 1 computer for every 50 potential users.

27 No assumption is made for expected growth in the number of potentialusers as well as institutions in-long-term phase of this project.However, we believe that this possible growth will be significant.

CONCLUSIONS

General Conclusion

The Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment for the Development of a VirtualLibrary by the Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria is part of concertedefforts to address the precarious situation of the Education system.

There are many challenges including insufficient infrastructure, dearth ofrelevant skills and funding constraints. Mr. President, in asking for thisfeasibility study, is taking on these challenges and it has become imperativefor us to follow his lead.

The study's future works, include but are not limited to, issues of long-termpreservation of content and potential linkages to desirable projects andinitiatives such as:

1 Library automation

2 Curriculum review

3 Public/ Private Partnerships to raise funds for institutions

4 The National Open University of Nigeria

5 The National Teachers Institute with currently over 250,000 studentsundertaking distance learning courses

6 Harnessing National Human Resources potential through ICT.

7 Poverty Alleviation and creation of wealth

8 Environmental Protection and improvement

9 Promoting equity and gender equality

The study serves as a useful guide to developing and deploying solutionsaimed at providing easy, fast, economical and remote, on-line or CD-ROM-based, access to National and international content for education andresearch in the face of the dwindling per capita income. The comparativecost of accessing electronic editions of content is significantlycheaper than the equivalent print editions.

It will also serve as an avenue that will enable us to leap frog into the ICTage, therefore enabling Nigeria to bridge the digital divide.

This thrilling development bodes well for Nigeria which is emergingfrom a traumatic period. The inspirational ideas and impressiveintellectual capabilities demonstrated by the stakeholders that havein some way contributed to this document give us great confidencein recommending that there is compelling need for the developmentof a Virtual Library for Higher Education institutions in Nigeria.

We believe that these statistics under report the true student population. This is because:

1 The statistics are not current and reflect only what is available from the NUC.

2 NUC collects enrolment information of students enrolled in courses that it has accredited.

3 Most Universities offer Certificate and remedial courses which NUC does not track.

NOTE:

The Statistics obtained from NBTE gave admission and graduation statistics,and not actual enrollement as at a particular date. We also believe that theformal statistics under report the true student population. NBTE onlycollects enrolment information of polytechnic students enrolled in coursesthat NBTE has accredited. Most Polytechnics offer a range of Certificate andremedial courses which NBTE does not track. We believe that Polytechnicsin urban locations often have at least twice the number of students that theNBTE statistics show.
