The stratified random sampling technique, complemented with a questionnaire, was used to collect data from 1,238 managers in aviation parastatals in Nigeria. However, only 945 responded, giving a response rate of 76.3 percent. The study found that personality traits (r = 0.330, P< 0.05) and information systems access (r = 0.170, P<0.05) and use (r = 0.350, P<0.05) had significant relationships with decision-making of the respondents, when taken together, significantly determined decision-making of the respondents. Use of information systems was found to make the greatest relative contribution (32.0 percent) in determining the decision-making of managers in the aviation industry in Nigeria. Personality traits should be considered when recruiting managers for the aviation industry. Keywords: information systems access, use, per...

This study conducted an investigation into the level of awareness and usage of Web 2.0 tools among lecturers in Nigerian universities. One hundred and forty four copies of questionnaire were administered on lecturers randomly selected from five federal government owned universities in the south west, Nigeria viz: University of Ibadan, Ibadan; University of Lagos, Lagos; Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife; Federal University of Technology, Akure; and Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. However, the data analysis was based on the 121 copies of the administered questionnaire returned with useful responses. Findings from the study revealed a high level of awareness and use of Web 2.0 tools among the lecture...

Libraries generally have been adopting cloud-based solutions for different services such as electronic journal access management, integrated library system (ILS) hosting, electronic databases, digital library hosting, and cloud OPAC. This chapter discusses how cloud computing technology tools can be deployed to ensure uniformity in library services and standard of information resources available to students at all the study centers spread across the six geo-political zones. The chapter concludes that cloud computing offers many opportunities for academic libraries, and especially for the NOUN Library.

Stratified random sampling method was used to select 1238 managers from five aviation parastatals in Nigeria out of which 945 responded. The response rate achieved was 76.3 percent. The study found that locus of control, work motivation and information use significantly influence decision making of the respondents. It is therefore recommended that aviation industry administrators and most especially policy makers in the industry should give due attention to locus of control, work motivation and information use in order to improve the decision making of managers in the industry. From the managerial context, being aware of your employee’s internal-external locus of control can be very helpful in that individuals with high external locus are less likely to be committed to their organisation, they may feel unable to influence org...
