THE EFFECT
OF BUDGETING SHIFT ON ELECTRONIC ACCESSIBILITY IN A LIBRARY
ABSTRACT
This study
is set to examine the roles of the budgeting shift on library electronic
access, considering the enormous benefits that are experienced in the impact of
budgeting on strategizing and ensuring accessibility of electronic services in
Nigerian Libraries; the Nigerian libraries still experience some obstacles or
hindrances in the effective and efficient use of budgeting in enhancing
electronic services in the library. As a result, users may not be satisfied.
Similarly, they would not be able to achieve self-actualization or their life
goals. Consequently, libraries in Nigeria may not be able to make their impact
on national development.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This paper
focuses on the effect of budgeting shift on electronic accessibility in a
library, including requirements or considerations when budgeting, technical
services in a consortium, and best practices in budgeting.
A budget is
a guide or directive for fiscal management. Libraries need funds to provide
electronic and other services, and these services must be budgeted for.
Fletcher (1990) gives two definitions of a budget, calling it “the overall
picture of allocations (for expenditure) and income,” as well as “the financial
allocation for specific purpose or purposes during a given period.”
Although
libraries are service-oriented and have little or no revenue-generating motives
or objectives, they still obviously require a budget. Provision of electronic
materials services is a significant source of income in the library system. The
need for budgets in libraries is increasingly important.
Libraries
must effectively divide funds between staff and materials, which include
acquisitions, services, and equipment. Library fiscal management is becoming
more decentralized. Current trends give a measure of financial control to
divisional, sectional, and unit librarians. It is within this framework that
budgeting for library technical services is approached.
A number of
studies have been carried out on budgets and financing of library services
(Rosenberg & Raseroka, 2000; Ubogu, 2003; Smallen and McCredie, 2003;
Emojorho, 2004); however, budgeting for technical or electronic services has
received little attention. Most discussions of budgeting for technical services
use a line-item budget as a focus.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study
is set to examine the roles of the budgeting shift on library electronic
access, considering the enormous benefits that are experienced in the impact of
budgeting on strategizing and ensuring accessibility of electronic services in
Nigerian Libraries; the Nigerian libraries still experience some obstacles or
hindrances in the effective and efficient use of budgeting in enhancing electronic
services in the library.
Today,
Electronic acquisition and implementation in libraries is facing a lot of
problems. This research work is being conducted to expose some of the
inhibiting factors that are hindering the effectiveness of electronic services
in Nigerian Libraries. Among the militating factors hindering the impact of
electronic access on Nigerian Libraries is the problem of insufficient capital
to fund the budget shift of providing electronic materials. More so, epileptic
power supply pose a threat on the accessibility of electronic materials in
Library
As a result,
users may not be satisfied. Similarly, they would not be able to achieve
self-actualization or their life goals. Consequently, libraries in Nigeria may
not be able to make their impact on national development.
1.3
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To
ascertain the rate of using electronic materials in libraries
2. Determine
the impact of budgeting on accessibility of electronic materials in libraries
3. To
examine the level of importance given to electronic materials in the library
budget
4. Determine
the problem militating against the adequate accessibility of electronic
materials in Libraries.
5. Ascertain
how budgeting can be used to foster accessibility of electronic materials in
libraries
6. To
identify the problems faced by the library management in planning a budget for
electronic and other services.
1.4 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
1. To what
extent are the electronic materials effectively used in the library?
2. What are
the impacts of budgeting on accessibility of electronic materials in libraries?
3. What
level of importance is given to electronic materials in library budget?
4. What are
the problems militating against the adequate accessibility of electronic
materials in libraries?
5. What are
the ways in which budgeting can be used to foster accessibility of electronic
materials in libraries?
6. What are
the challenges encountered by the library management in preparing budget to
promote accessibility of electronic and other materials?
1.5
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The findings
of the study will be significant to the following: librarians in libraries,
library managers (Directors of State Library Services), state governments, and
researchers. In specific terms the findings will be useful to librarians in
libraries in the sense that they can apply the recommendations in improving the
performance of their operations and services to library users. It will also
enable them be up-to-date with current practices in librarianship, thus fully
equipping them to render efficient services to library patrons.
The findings
of the study will be useful to researchers in the field of librarianship and
information science by allowing them identify the gap (s) that need filling. It
will also afford researchers the opportunity to see the link or relationship of
this study with other studies that have been conducted in the area and enable
them identify the areas that need further investigation. This work is the
researcher?s contribution to existing knowledge in the budgeting shift of electronic
services in libraries and will serve as a useful resource material for
researchers.
1.6 SCOPE OF
THE STUDY
This
research work is on the impact of budgeting shift on the accessibility of
electronic materials in libraries using Oyo state college of agriculture and
technology, Igboora as a case study.
1.7
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
1. Network
interconnectivity to enhance elaborate research ?
2. High
level of illiteracy
3.
Organization operational huddles.
4. Time and
cost constraints due to cause of scarcity in gasoline to go about the research.
