Digital Resilience: Skills, Competencies, Capacity Building and Institutional Readiness
(2026-05-04) Akintunde, Stephen
The paper explores the nexus between the dynamism of technological innovation and the preparedness of institutions in offering seamless information services to patrons. The trend in the use of information technology as a lifestyle and its consequences is set in determining digital competencies that both the providers and users of information now need. Training, advocacy, infrastructural development, budget, and disaster preparedness are discussed as critical areas that libraries and institutions must consider in building digital resilience.
The Role of Libraries in Supporting Agricultural Research and Innovations
(2022-01-27) Akintunde, Stephen A.
The paper discusses the role of libraries in supporting agricultural research and innovations. It starts by defining libraries and explaining how the traditional library is being transformed into digital spaces. It traces the history of writing and promotes the importance of documentation of research works for future interrogation and further research. The paper also discusses discovery in agricultural research and how documentation through the observance of the scientific proceeding of writing accelerates discoverability and access to the report of research. This also leads to the application of the research findings in solving problems of the agricultural sector. Recommendation is made towards having a good library in agricultural training institutions because of the opportunities it provides to access and explore previous research reports.
Creating a Demonstrator National Open Repository for Nigeria
(2019-03-11) Akintunde, Stephen A.; Iyoha, Owen; Omonhinmin, Conrad; Ilo, Promise
The working paper provides an overview of the steps taking so far in creating a signature national open repository for Nigeria where all institutional repositories would be connected to and providing federated search platform.

Use of ICT in Policy-Engaged Research
(2024-03-15) Akintunde, Stephen A.
The paper discusses how ICT can be used in policy-engaged research and concludes with implementation strategies for recommendations made. Conceptual clarifications of critical of terms – ICT, digital economy, youth empowerment, sustainable job creation are done, after which the main major trends and frameworks of ICT in research and society are discussed. Critical issues and challenges of the use of ICT such as aggregation, analysis, and uses of data, digitisation, and the dynamics of ICT in research are also discussed. Step-by-step engagement of ICT in research starting with the review of literature, empiricism, including identification of population, data gathering, data analysis, and interpretation of data and communication of findings are discussed with relevant illustrations.
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Bibliographic Control
(2026-05-12) Akintunde, Stephen
The paper discusses bibliographic control, information and communications technology, and artificial intelligence, the meeting points and how they enhance the discoverability of research and learning resources. Artificial intelligence is defined as an assistive tool that has the potential of transforming bibliographic control, though it must be used within ethical limitations. Bibliographic control involves the documentation, discoverability and accessibility of data. A brief history of the development of bibliographic is discussed. The need to train librarians and library patrons is affirmed as a strategic requirement in bibliographic control in the age of artificial intelligence. Ethical issues that must be considered in the deployment of artificial intelligence in bibliographic control include data integrity, breaking down pay and other walls, intellectual property, shareability of data, and open movement.
