This paper assessed the extent to which federal university libraries in Nigeria have prepared for management of their records in electronic format. Specifically it investigated the extent to which university libraries have provided ICT infrastructures for digital records, made institutional plans for e-records management, and enacted policies that guide e-records management, among other areas. Survey research design was used. The instruments for data collection were questionnaire, observation checklist, and oral interviews. The population of the study was 84 librarians drawn randomly from 18 federal university libraries in Nigeria. Data was analyzed using mean scores and simple percentages. The criterion of judgment was that if the mean value of any item of the research instruments scored 2.50+ and above, it was rated high; if otherwise, it was considered low. The study found that ICT facilities were available in all the libraries, but the state of preparedness for their utilization for e-records management was low. Inadequate funding, intermittent electricity supply, absence of e-records management policy, etc. were the major factors hindering preparedness for e-records management. Adequate budgetary provision, increasing power supply, and enactment of digital records management policy were among the recommendations made. With regards to practical implications, federal university libraries may not steadily use their e-records in a networked/connected environment. These records may become inaccessible over time. This study was the first to investigate extensively on the state of preparedness of Nigerian university libraries for digital records management.

尼日利亚大学图书馆为获取和管理数字记录做好准备

本文评估了尼日利亚联邦大学图书馆准备以电子格式管理其记录的程度。具体而言,它调查了大学图书馆为数字记录提供 ICT 基础设施的程度,制定了电子记录管理的制度计划,并制定了指导电子记录管理的政策等。使用了调查研究设计。数据收集的工具是问卷调查、观察清单和口头访谈。研究对象是从尼日利亚 18 个联邦大学图书馆随机抽取的 84 名图书馆员。使用平均分数和简单百分比分析数据。判断标准是,如果研究工具的任何一项的平均值得分在2.50+以上,则为高;否则,它被认为是低的。研究发现,所有图书馆都可以使用 ICT 设施,但将其用于电子记录管理的准备状态很低。资金不足、电力供应断断续续、缺乏电子记录管理政策等是阻碍电子记录管理准备工作的主要因素。提出的建议包括充足的预算拨款、增加电力供应和制定数字记录管理政策。关于实际影响,联邦大学图书馆可能不会在网络/连接环境中稳定地使用其电子记录。随着时间的推移,这些记录可能变得无法访问。这项研究首次对尼日利亚大学图书馆的数字记录管理准备状况进行了广泛调查。研究发现,所有图书馆都可以使用 ICT 设施,但将其用于电子记录管理的准备状态很低。资金不足、电力供应断断续续、缺乏电子记录管理政策等是阻碍电子记录管理准备工作的主要因素。提出的建议包括充足的预算拨款、增加电力供应和制定数字记录管理政策。关于实际影响,联邦大学图书馆可能不会在网络/连接环境中稳定地使用其电子记录。随着时间的推移,这些记录可能变得无法访问。这项研究首次对尼日利亚大学图书馆的数字记录管理准备状况进行了广泛调查。研究发现,所有图书馆都可以使用 ICT 设施,但将其用于电子记录管理的准备状态很低。资金不足、电力供应断断续续、缺乏电子记录管理政策等是阻碍电子记录管理准备工作的主要因素。提出的建议包括充足的预算拨款、增加电力供应和制定数字记录管理政策。关于实际影响,联邦大学图书馆可能不会在网络/连接环境中稳定地使用其电子记录。随着时间的推移,这些记录可能变得无法访问。这项研究首次对尼日利亚大学图书馆的数字记录管理准备状况进行了广泛调查。
