Title A name given to the resource From library anxiety to mobile Internet use Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource As is often the case, this issue deals with a variety of aspects of information development in a variety of countries – from library anxiety in the Sudan to mobile Internet use in China. The first paper deals with a country, the Sudan, which has featured only rarely in our pages over the years. ‘Sudanese library anxiety constructs’, by K.A. Abusin of the Sudan University of Science and Technology, and A.N. Zainab and Noor Harun Abdul Karim of the University of Malaya, reports on a study that explored library anxiety amongst Sudanese university students and identified the contributing factors. These factors were identified using diary information collected from third year undergraduate students. The analysis of diary entries revealed eight library constructs, which were collectively named ‘Sudanese Library Anxiety Construct’. The eight constructs comprised affective and cognitive barriers and negative perceptions towards the academic library environment, library staff, peers, library services, library collections and library regulations. The results show that a high proportion of Sudanese university students experience feelings of fear and anxiety when using the library to write their first research paper. We remain in Africa with the second paper, ‘Internet browsing behavior: a case study of executive postgraduate students in Ghana’, by Robert Ebo Hinson of the University of Ghana Business School. The paper examines the motivation for Internet browsing amongst Executive MBA students at the School. The study revealed that students browse the Internet for social, academic and professional purposes. Their social use includes sending and receiving email, socializing through Facebook, chatting and making new friends. Academic motivations for browsing include research, getting access to academic journal databases, interacting with lecturers and supervisors, registering for professional courses and obtaining information on specific courses of study. Professionally, students browse the Internet to obtain trade information, interact with clients, check on conference alerts, and access databases of clients. In general, the students browse the Internet because of its perceived usefulness in providing quick and accessible information, its convenience and as a communication tool. We move to Asia, and a completely different topic, with the next paper, ‘The effect of ICT on political development: a qualitative study of Iran’, by Ali Pirannejad of the University of Tehran. Twenty-six government officials and policy makers and 31 ordinary citizens of Tehran were interviewed to investigate how ICT affects political development. The results were grouped into five categories: political empowerment and public control, as two factors which affect the political development of people; and capacity building, public service and transparency, as three elements which affect political development in government. The study found that ICTs influence the political development of people through empowerment and public control, which help them to monitor their government. The paper concludes with some ideas for further research. The next paper takes us to the other side of the world with another change of subject. In ‘The potential of e-reserves for the Main Library, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad’, Rabia Ramlogan and Jennifer Papin-Ramcharan (deceased), of the University of the West Indies, outline the factors to be taken into account by the library in looking to implement an e-reserves service. Background preparation involved a survey of the literature and current library practices to assess the benefits and challenges of e-reserves, while other factors considered included increased access to local content and local copyright legislation. The implementation of the e-reserves pilot is discussed, followed by the pilot’s preliminary findings and lessons learned from the pilot experience.

Title A name given to the resource Authentic Leadership and Employee Engagement the Mediating Role of Trust: A Framework for Future Research and Practice Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Kwame Ameyaw Domfeh Description An account of the resource The efficacy of Authentic Leadership (AL) and its impact on Employee Engagement (EE) has received, and continue to receive significant attention in the literature, although AL is still at its infancy. Trust a manifestation of one's action play a role towards employee engagement. A good research uses a theory, theoretical framework or construct. However, despite a growing interest in the area of AL, EE and Trust not much exist in the area of theoretical framework. This paper provides a theoretical framework which can be used for future research to understand the relationship between AL and EE and the mediating role of trust between this relationship.

Title A name given to the resource Information asymmetry and self denial in gender participation in commercial banks' credit markets in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Peter Amponsah Description An account of the resource Micro and small women entrepreneurs’ participation in commercial banks’ credit markets remains a huge challenge even after the liberalization of the financial sector. The present study sought to examine factors that influence gender participation in the credit markets of commercial banks. The sample size comprised 678 respondents to questionnaires for the study. At the individual level, the study tested that no significant relationship exists between a borrower’s individual characteristics and credit participation, and that no significant relationship exists between individual’s gender and credit participation. Also, at the firm level, the study tested that no significant relationship occurs between credit market conditions and credit market participation, and that no significant relationship occurs between individual’s firm characteristics and credit market participation. However, the findings reject all these null hypotheses for the alternates. Using the Heckman two-step model, we observed that participation increases for male and the young, entrepreneurs in the commerce sector, those closer to the bank and those who have previously participated in the market. Yet, participation reduces for entrepreneurs with secondary education and those with larger household size. Also, the likelihood to participate is influenced by being a male, having larger assets value and easiness of loan processing. Moreover, the Fairlie decomposition analysis shows a credit participation gap between men and women entrepreneurs that is largely influenced by differences in their individual and firm characteristics. The major implication is that male entrepreneurs have more favorable individual, firm and credit market conditions than female entrepreneurs for credit market participation. Thus, government policies to empower women are desirable.

Title A name given to the resource Evaluating the effect of petroleum price volatility on government revenue in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Riverson Oppong, Clarence Nii Aryee Aryeequaye, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource The Ghanaian economy is highly exposed to petroleum price fluctuations (volatility) since petroleum revenues is a major contributor to total government revenue. The resulting volatility in government revenue also has a bullwhip effect on other sectors such as the private sector, making planning difficult and complex. This study examines the effect of petroleum price volatility (PPV) on government revenue and economic growth using quarterly time series data for the period 2010 to 2020. The study adopts the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) for estimating the models. Three regressions are estimated to address the set objectives of the study. A pairwise correlation matrix was adopted to determine the relationship between the variables. The findings indicate petroleum price volatility has a negative effect on government revenue both in the short run and the long run.

Description An account of the resource This study aims to investigate the impact of women empowerment and free senior high school on secondary school enrolment in Ghana. The Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) estimation method, which examines both short- and long-term effects, was utilized to analyze data obtained from the World Bank database and the ILO database covering the period 1992–2021. Employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) modeling technique, it was observed that the proportion of women to men in parliament, the FSHS policy, and pre-secondary school enrollment all have positive effects on secondary school enrollment in both the short and long run. Again, though we observe a negative impact of FSHS on female secondary school enrollment in the short run, in the long run, it increases the enrollment by large, while we observe that women to men in parliament and presecondary school enrollment also … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Taylor and Francis Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:4JMBOYKVnBMC Language A language of the resource English
