Executive Summary

Overview

The Government of Nigeria has continued to considerably improve the funding of over 500 Higher Education Institutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research and development, but little is left for the improvement of institutional services and operations after payment of staff salaries and allowances. Accordingly, the poor availability and obsolescence of books, journals and other learning materials has continued to impair the ability of Higher Education Institutions to adequately achieve their purpose of teaching, research and community service for their expanding population of students. In any event, most Higher Education Institutions have long exceeded their carrying capacities while demand for higher education continues to increase. The challenge for Nigeria is therefore, to expand access to education and current learning materials without most of the required funds disappearing into physical expansion of libraries and related structures. At the instance of the President, His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, UNESCO has facilitated the development of an actionable, technically feasible, cost-effective, future-proofed and sustainable plan that sets out a road map to efficiently deliver local and international content to all Nigerian Higher Education Institutions, staff and students, in the context of their peculiar environments, by means of a Virtual Library that augments the existing library system. In conducting this Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment for Higher Education Institutions, UNESCO, with support from the Government of Japan’s Fund- in-Trust, has consulted and interacted intensively with a wide spectrum of stakeholder institutions and experts. The report considered various issues, contexts and relevant options, related to Content; Infrastructure and Delivery Methods; Legal, Copyright and Payment issues; Administration and Management; Human Resources Management; Funding and Sustainability; Implementation Strategies and Budget Recommendations

Given the limited funding available to academic libraries in Nigeria, it is obvious that scholars and students can only access a small portion of the information available in their disciplines. Thus, with the escalating costs of information materials and dwindling allocation of funds to academic institutions, a judicious balance must be made to ensure that users of academic libraries in Nigeria have access to relevant, appropriate information in their fields of interest. It is in light of this that this report

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page iv recommends that there is a compelling need for the development of a Virtual Library for Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria. The report puts forward actionable plans for a Virtual Library that would be owned by Nigerian Higher Education Institutions, each according to its reality, and in line with the vision and objectives set forth by Mr. President. 1 The Virtual Library is expected to have two aspects: A The subscription to full text databases in all major fields of study relevant to Higher Education institutions. B The development of indigenous content. This activity is envisaged to be crucial to the survival of our heritage, dialects, languages, cultures, value systems, and collective memory/ history which will otherwise be subsumed by the more dominant languages or cultures of the world.

2 The Virtual Library is to have a distributed Node management structure with a coordinating body, called the Virtual Library Consortium, and the participating institutions which will implement the Node VLCCentre Node Virtual Library as self accounting nodes. 3 The Virtual Library should be a cornerstone of Government strategy to rejuvenate Nigeria’s educational system and the Node realization of many national, regional and international development goals including: A Education For All (EFA) B Information For All Program (IFAP) C National Action Plan for Information for All D New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) E Millennium Development Goals (MDG) F Raison d'être spelt out by the President, His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo when he stated in his letter to UNESCO requesting that this feasibility study be undertaken that “it has become necessary... to bridge the digital divide.” 4 The implementation plan has built in mechanisms for transparency and accountability for all activities through the regular publishing and dissemination of annual reports and audited accounts of the nodes and the consortium. These reports will be rendered public, in addition to the Virtual Library Consortium annual general meeting. 5 The Federal Government is to provide the start-up funds which should be supplemented and supported by donor agencies, civil society and the private sector. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

6 Even, though some information and communication technology infrastructure may be lacking, it is still possible to initiate development of a Virtual Library with the existing facilities.

7 Significant complementary income is expected from fees, charges and public/ private partnerships. Justifications

The purpose of a Virtual Library is to enhance the quality of life by providing access to, and improving the quality of, learning, teaching and research, and thereby providing a more solid base for education. 1 A Virtual Library provides remote, on-line or CD-ROM-based, access to a variety of national and international content including curricula, learning materials, books, journals, magazines and newspapers, services traditionally offered by libraries, and new services and online information sources. 2 Virtual Libraries thus combine on-site collections of materials in electronic format with an electronic network which ensures access to and delivery of those materials. 3 For the Virtual Library to Government owned Higher Education Institutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research and be useful, appropriate development and relevant to, and S/n Description # in Average User Total User sustainable by Higher category population population 1 VLC Office 1 15 15 Education Institutions, 2 Level 6 20 20,000 400,000 emerging from decades 3 Level 5 35 12,000 420,000 of authoritarian, 4 Level 4 50 9,000 450,000 5 Level 3 200 5,000 1,000,000 arbitrary and over- 6 Level 2 135 500 67,500 centralized governance 7 Level 1 59 50 2,950 and administration, The projected institutional and 2,340,465 Nigeria requires to re- user populations empower its Higher Education Institutions to build capacity, innovate and cultivate a sense of ownership for problems and solutions that affect their fundamental functions and operations.

4 By enriching the Higher Education Institutions, the Virtual Library will improve the quality of their teaching, learning and research and thereby the quality of all other levels of education.

It is a case of “survival of the fittest” through adaptation to the use of modern tools to preserve and promote our diverse languages, culture and heritage. 8 The Virtual Library provides Nigerian users access to the same materials at the same time as their counterparts anywhere in the world. We look forward to UNESCO facilitating arrangements for Nigerian Virtual Library users to access large information repositories such as the Harvard University on-line library when it completes the digitisation of the 10 million books contained in that Library. This implies that Nigerian users may soon have access to the same materials, at the same moment that students and staff of Harvard University have access to. 9 International Publishers and donor agencies have continued to offer subsidies and free donations of vast quantities of content which most Nigerian students and staff are unfortunately not able to access or utilise. For example, the SOROS Foundation USA, provides free access to the EBSCO (Elton B. Stephens Company) database which provides access to several tens of thousands of full text journals, magazines and other source titles. The International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy, International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publication in the UK as well as the World Health Organisation have donated free access to electronic content via cost effective delivery systems, which we are yet unable to fully capitalise on. 10 Publishers have tried, and continue to make efforts to assist developing countries like Nigeria. For example, for a block fee of only US$13,000.00, the Academic Press in Europe will allow access to over 350 academic journal titles for a full year to every Nigerian Student and Staff. NOTE o 350 International Journals titles at an average of one edition per month translates into 4,200 editions per annum, and costs N1,677,000.00, or US$13,000.00 at an exchange rate of N129 to the US$1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY o If we assume that: . There are conservatively 1,000,000 students and staff nationwide who are eligible to access these editions. . Each print edition would be shared by 100 users. . Each edition costs an average N100.00. . Therefore, it would cost N4,200,000,000.00 (over Four Billion Naira) to provide 10,000 print editions which would be shared by the 1,000,000 users. . The comparative cost of the electronic edition is 2,500 times less than the print edition, and would instantly be available to 1,000,000 users at their personal convenience. Financial Implications

The following notional estimates have been made.

Total Capital Costs in Naira N16,253,083,887.55 Total Recurrent Costs in Naira N5,674,474,127.32 TOTAL COST OF IMPLIMENTATION IN NAIRA N21,927,558,014.87

Phasing details will be worked out during the first stages of implementation and will be based on the available funding. We suggest that the phasing strategy be based on the premise that every user should move up one step from their present baseline, rather than on failed traditional phasing criteria, such as the designation of centres of excellence, institution population size, existing circumstances, political or other criteria that lend themselves to abuse.

START-UP COSTS PER USER IN NAIRA N9,368.95 Start up Costs per User in US$ $72.63 PROJECTED ANNUAL INCOME IN NAIRA N7,153,793,750.00 RECURRENT FUNDING SURPLUS N1,479,319,622.68

The implication of the above is that once started the Virtual Library will pay for its ongoing operational activities and should have a surplus which will be used to facilitate organic growth and expansion. However this surplus will not be sufficient to completely replace fully depreciated and possibly obsolete technology at the end of five years. This scenario is acceptable for an Educational initiative of this kind, bearing in mind the cost savings envisaged and the multiplier effect to the Nation.

Using an Exchange rate of N129.00 to US$1.00 Total Capital Costs in US$ $125,992,898.35

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page viii Total Recurrent Costs in US$ $43,988,171.53 Total Cost of Implimentation in US$ $169,981,069.88 Projected Annual Income in US$: $55,455,765.50 Recurrent Funding Surplus $11,467,593.97 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION

Background

The main purpose of an academic library is to support the institution’s objectives, which are in the areas of learning, teaching, research and service. The library is regarded as the heart of the intellectual system of the institution. To a large extent, the quality of the institution is measured by the services provided by the library because of its unique position in the over-all system. Since 1948, when the University College Library (now Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan) was established, Libraries have been recognized as the intellectual heart of a Higher Education Institute. It is therefore, not surprising, that other Higher Education Institutes’ libraries established in Nigeria after 1948 ensured that this precedence is maintained in their respective institutions. However, the situation changed for the worse in the 1980s when the Federal Government of Nigeria adopted the World Bank Structural Adjustment Programme, which affected university funding adversely. University libraries were the first casualties. This is because a lot of the materials purchased by libraries have a substantial foreign exchange component while the structural adjustment programme adopted by the government resulted in the massive devaluation of the national currency. Thus, funds allocated to Higher Education Institutions could no longer meet the requirements of the libraries. The situation deteriorated to such a level that the Federal Government of Nigeria decided to make some interventions, such as, The World Bank Federal Universities Development Sector Adjustment Credit, The Petroleum Special Trust Fund National Education Materials Procurement Programme and the Education Tax Fund. Today, there are over Five hundred Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria, some of which are listed, with the over 600 potential Virtual Library User Institutions, at the end of this document. Given the limited funding available to academic libraries in Nigeria, it is obvious that scholars and students can only access a small portion of the information available in their disciplines. Thus, with the escalating costs of information materials and dwindling allocation of funds to academic institutions a judicious balance must be made to ensure that users of academic libraries in Nigeria have access to relevant, appropriate information in their fields of interest. This can only be possible if libraries lay more emphasis on access rather than ownership. A way to achieving this is the provision of remote access to collections regardless of the location of the information source. There is also the added advantage of speed of service. Since information is electronically available, retrieval is instantaneous, hence the need for a National Virtual Library.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 2 Objectives of the Study

The purpose of a Virtual Library is to underpin learning and acquisition of knowledge, to provide a more solid basis for education and to enhance quality of life by drawing on digitally available (preferably on-line) books, materials and journals via ICT-based tools. A Virtual Library provides remote (on-line or CD-ROM-based) access to a variety of national and international content (e.g. curricula, learning materials, books, journals, magazines, newspapers), services traditionally offered by libraries and other information sources. Virtual Libraries thus combine on-site collections of materials in electronic format with an electronic network which ensures access to and delivery of those materials. It must, however, be remembered that this is a one way traffic that provides access to databases and to information mainly available in Europe and America. Deliberate action must be instituted towards building our national information infrastructure and creating databases so that we can also be producers and exporters and thus active participants in the creation and formulation of content. This is because, in the long run, the issues in information technology may have less to do with the way information is communicated than with content: What is the message, who generates it, why and with what audience and purpose in mind. The Feasibility Study for Virtual Library for institutions of higher Education in Nigeria project is at the instance of the President, His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo “….to bridge the digital divide”. The aim of the Feasibility Study is to provide a workable, self sustaining plan of action for the development and implementation of a Virtual Library for Nigeria and later the West Africa sub-region. The Virtual Library is expected to have two aspects: 1 Subscription to full text databases in all fields of study relevant to higher education institutions.

2 The development of indigenous content which is crucial to the survival of our heritage, dialects, languages, cultures, value systems, and collective memory/ history.

The Feasibility Study was launched in Nigeria in November 2002 with the mission from Paris which recruited a National Professional Officer to coordinate the project under the overall supervision of Dr. Hans d’Orville, the Director, UNESCO Bureau for Strategic Planning (BSP), Paris. The work plan was drawn and three experts in the fields of Information and Communications Technology, Higher Education Institutions and Information Resources as well as a Project Assistant were contracted to execute the project. Several missions to Higher Education Institutions around the country were undertaken to liaise with stake holders and ascertain the state of the art in INTRODUCTION

ICT infrastructure and connectivity as well as the availability of human capacity. A national workshop, where stakeholders produced a draft Feasibility Study for Virtual Library, was held in August 2003 at the National Teachers Institute, Kaduna. The project came to an end in November with the printing and presentation of the report to the President and distribution to the stakeholders. Mission Statement

To improve the standards, quality, convenience and relevance of Nigerian tertiary education and research by supporting and updating the vital services, functions and operations of all Nigerian libraries and higher education communities in the creation, acquisition, preservation, organization and delivery of local and international digital content.

CONTENT Chapter 1 CONTENT

Aims and Objectives

1 Identify sources and producers of local content and priorities for digitisation. 2 Identify issues that impact on the digitisation of content. 3 Identify the full text databases that may be required by Higher Education institutions. 4 Estimate the cost of access and subscriptions to the full text databases. Technical Issues and Details

1 Options list

A Culture and Language

I The preservation of culturally significant information in digital form as a part of the national and world heritage. II Language for access is an issue that can be addressed such that nodal web sites can be displayed in various local languages at the behest of the user. III Language of content as an issue can be addressed by the use of automated translation engines by national and institutional policies.

B Copyright

I In the procurement of content, copyright becomes an important issue for all formats, as addressed in Chapter 4: Legal, Copyright and Payment issues. II Those shouldered with the responsibility for the selection of content for Virtual Library must be conscious of the issue of piracy.

C Standards

I It is imperative that the Virtual Library content complies with internationally set metadata standards.

D Authenticity

I Digitised content should endeavour to be a true reflection of the original material or as allowed by the copyright owner. II The integrity of the digitised material should be maintained free from manipulation and corruption through Authentication and Encryption systems.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 6 E Payment of royalties and usage

I Intellectual property should be protected through billing and royalty tracking, in line with Chapter 4: Legal, Copyright and Payment issues.

F Awareness and Training

I The acceptability of the Virtual Library is in part dependent on the level of awareness of the institutions, personnel and end users. II The Training of personnel and end users are critical to the success and sustainability of the Virtual Library project. III The acquisition of new skills by Librarians and other end users are necessary.

G The Indian Experience

I The Vidyanidhi Digital Library in India started, by Prof. Shalini R. Urs, at the University of Mysore, India. It began in the Year 2000 as a pilot project whose goal was to demonstrate the feasibility of e-Theses in the India context. II The pilot scheme accomplished the following: . Development of a pilot collection of e-Theses; . Development of an Indian Theses Database; . Development of a conceptual model and architecture. III In 2003, Vidyanidhi moved from a pilot phase to a Programme phase. Its visions are: . To evolve as a National Repository and a collaborative consortium of participating Universities and institutions; . To develop an Online Resource and a technical mechanism for creating, submitting, archiving and accessing e-Theses. IV Lessons to be learnt from the Vidyanidhi experience include: . e-Theses are the quickest source of creating local content which will evolve into a National Repository to be accessed by all. . The consortium of HEIs is an excellent method of getting stakeholders to buy into and take ownership of the processes. . The process of evolving e-Theses will serve as a test bed for developing the actual Virtual Library. Chapter 1 CONTENT

V The issue of language interoperability is critical in the Vidyanidhi Programme, as India is said to be home to 418 languages, 407 are living languages and 18 are constitutionally recognized. Theses are written in different languages and the programme faces the challenge of language interoperability. Nigeria on its part has mainly English as Lingua franca, therefore most materials are produced in English.

VI However in developing local content, the use of local languages and the issues of interoperability must be addressed, since Nigeria is a multi lingual society. 2 Evaluation of Options:

A Print. Local content should include:

I Research output from Higher Education and research institutions such as theses/ dissertations, seminar papers, conference materials, journals, workshop papers and free publications from UNESCO, World Bank and other multilateral agencies. II Government publications such as the Constitution of the Federal Republic, gazettes, annual reports, budgets, speeches, law reports of the federation, Court Judgments, reports of commissions, national newspapers and magazines, special collections, hanzards, catalogues and directories and Maps. III Special sources include the National Library of Nigeria (NLN), National Archives of Nigeria (NAN), National Film Corporation (NFC) National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), National Gallery for Art (NGA) National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), National Population Commission (NPC), the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC), Publishers and so on.

B Non-print. Should include:

I Artefacts and antiquities II Audio visual materials such as: . Photographs, archives, Cultural sites and monuments, Recordings of oral history and folklores, sculptures, historical buildings and sites . Cultural shows, materials, craft work such as pottery, leather, metal, calabash carving, raffia, jewelleries, textiles, cuisine, and brass work. III Electronic content including Institutional Data-bases like the Federal Office of Statistics, National Human Resource

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 8 Database, BPE, CBN, INEC, NNPC, National Population Commission, Department of National Civic Registration and various government departments and Higher Education institutions. Other relevant public domain and commercial foreign data-bases including the EBSCO data-base, Medline, Agricola, Social science citation index, arts and humanities index, Chemical abstracts, OCLC, EIFL, World Bank, UNESCO data-base and other United Nation data-bases. C The e-Book. e-Books, or electronic books, are books that can be downloaded and read using an electronic device such as a PC, laptop, or specialized handheld reader. Specialized portable devices for reading e-Books and software based e-books are commercially available, while Adobe Acrobat e-Book Reader and Microsoft Reader are examples of free e-Book readers. D Digitisation Process Documents: Text, paragraphs, images & I The process of digitisation enumerated audio files in the following diagram. . Planning Data Capture: Manual data entry, optical . Selection character (OCR), imaging stored graphic . Production files. . Storage . Retrieval and display Data processing: Text may require conversion . Testing and refining of diacritics images may need enhanced, . Publishing/ release of collection amplification or compression II Each of the processes listed in the diagram requires specialised equipment. Storage: hard disk E Standards and Quality Control space, magnetic tape, CD-ROM I METADATA: Metadata formats should conform to national and international standards to facilitate sharing of Retrieval/ Display electronic resources. Metadata is information about the content such as: . Title of the item . Author/ Artist . Subject . Description . Publisher Chapter 1 CONTENT

. Unique Identifier . Date . Format . Source . Other descriptive elements II QUALITY CONTROL: Quality Control is vital to the digitisation process and the necessary mechanisms for ensuring the highest standards must be put in place. 3 Recommendations: A Institutions must identify and prioritise their needs for content to be developed or acquired. B The Virtual Library Consortium should ensure that unnecessary duplication is minimised while maximising useful redundancy, back- up and sharing. C The institutional stakeholders should identify the most appropriate content delivery and sharing mechanisms for their own use Management Arrangements

1 Where there is no existing in-house expertise, training should be outsourced. 2 Schedules of pending digitisation should electronically shared and a Consortium union catalogue should be established. This is to reduce duplication and save costs. Action Plan

The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, will undertake the following: 1 Short-term: A Creation of awareness among the stakeholders. B Constitution of a selection policy committee. C Articulation of selection policy. D Adoption of national standards and formulation of editorial policy. E Initiate process of acquisition and development. 2 Medium-term: A Training of staff and users. B Acquisition and digitization of materials.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 10 C Evaluation of standards and editorial policy. 3 Long-term: A Continue digitization of Local content from stakeholders and Acquisition of new content. B Review and evaluation of content and policies. C Training and retraining of personnel and users. Conclusion

1 The quality of the Virtual Library is predicated on its content. 2 Nigeria has a large number of Institutions of Higher Education and Research which hold and generate vast quantities of research output that will enrich the nation and the world when made available through the Virtual Library. 3 By making public records available, the Virtual Library will preserve and enhance the democratic process, good governance, accountability and transparency. 4 By enriching the Institutions of Higher Education, the Virtual Library will improve the quality of their outputs, and thereby the quality of all other levels of education. 5 The Virtual Library should therefore be the corner stone in the rejuvenation of Nigeria’s Educational system and the realisation of many national regional and international development goals including: I Educational For All (EFA) II New Partnerships for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) III Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

. Browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Opera . Library Automation Software such as ALICE for Windows, X- Lib, GLASS and VTLS. However, the focus of this feasibility study is the setting up of a Virtual Library and not the Automation of Traditional Libraries which is an adjunct task. 2 Evaluation of Options and Recommendations:

A Network Infrastructure:

I Because of the varying status of individual institutions the specific option adopted will depend on the Institution’s strategic plan, population, financial capabilities and sophistication. II Storage Standards and Backup Methods: Nodes should determine the optimum storage media in collaboration with Virtual Library Consortium using the appropriate best practices as enumerated in UNESCO’s National Digitisation Policy and other applicable documents. Every node of the Virtual Library will implement a backup strategy that has a combination of on-site and off-site storage methods for the backup media. B Access technology: I The specific access media used should be informed by the needs of the specific institution under consideration. CD- ROM’s, hard disks, thumb drives and related movable media can be used to update stand-alone systems. As a cost saving strategy external on-line updates to an Intranet can be scheduled to take place during off-peak hours. II The TCP/IP suites of networking and Internet access protocols are well established, widely supported, and best suited for the Virtual Library. III The desirable bandwidth for Internet connectivity is a minimum of 6 Kilobit bandwidth per user terminal, provided mechanisms are put in place to ensure effective use of available bandwidth. For Virtual Libraries that will enable access to their materials via the net, Symmetrical bandwidth is much more desirable over asymmetrical bandwidth. For libraries that would not want to publish their own contents, or would rather replicate their content to a central access point, an asymmetrical bandwidth is suitable and adequate.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 15 IV For remote locations that require connectivity via VSAT, the C- Band frequency is recommended as opposed to Ku-Band. This is because although Ku Band equipment and Access is cheaper, it is more susceptible to adverse weather conditions such as rain and rain clouds. V Internetworks (MAN’s)/ Campus Networks and Intranets. They include: . Fi bre Links: It is recommended that large, and those institutions that are clustered within 5kms from each other, be encouraged to install and operate fibre optic backbone links for optimal interconnectivity and future proofing. The cost of laying fibre cables is on the decrease, and relatively affordable. . In strumentation Security and Management (ISM) 2.4Ghz Radio Links: ISM Radio frequency signals can transmit over distances of up to 5km and maintain its designated speed of 11Mbps. The current policy of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) allows Higher Educational Institutions to use this frequency. In addition National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) is deploying a national Public Service Network using VSAT and ISM technology. . V irtual Private Network (VPN): VPNs enable the harnessing of various network services including the Internet via multiple communication media, as opposed to installing a direct link. VI Furniture Ergonomics: The furniture and equipment including computer tables, chairs, keyboards and pointing devices used should be ergonomic, thereby causing the least physical discomfort to users. VII Environment & Ambiance: The user environment should be familiar, well designed, environmentally friendly and pleasant. C Energy and power conditioning: I Isolated Generation: These are power sources that utilize fossil fuels mainly Petrol or Diesel. These generators are easily deployable and can be deployed to any part of the country. Installation is easy. They also have a relatively low initial cost. However, they are not environmentally friendly and not scalable as demand increases. For a Virtual Library to operate around the clock, two units of isolated generators will be required per location. II Solar Photo-Voltaic (PV): This is a system that coverts solar energy into electrical energy using an array of solar cells. It is easily deployable to any part of the country due to the high Chapter 2 INFRASTRUCTURE & CONNECTIVITY

intensity of solar radiation over the country. It has minimal maintenance activity with a life-span of about Twenty Five years. Installation is easy, though with a high initial system cost. However, the cost of ownership over its life-span is relatively low. It is very environmentally friendly and scalable III Small-Hydropower Systems (SHP): Small-Hydropower systems convert hydropower potential of a flowing river into electrical power. They offer emission-free power solutions for many remote communities throughout the world. Hydropower potential is wide-spread all over the country but is relatively unexploited. It has a relatively low initial and operational cost, but is not easily deployable because it is location specific. IV Wind Power: Wind Power systems convert wind energy into electrical energy. This is an inexhaustible energy source that is available to specific regions of the country. It requires meteorological data that is readily available for the entire country. It is environmentally friendly. It has a high initial cost with a reasonable Total Cost of Ownership. Scalability is easily done for wind power system. V National Power Utility: The National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) operates and manages the national grid supply existing in most locations nationwide. However, it services are at times epileptic and nonexistent in some cases. Inter connection cost is low and easy, with a relatively low cost of usage. However, the epileptic nature of the supply and location of Higher Education Institutions outside economic zones are major source of concern for a Virtual Library. D Software: I Operating systems software: . Linux and Apache are free open source operating system software, but the manpower and the skills to install and maintain them are scarce and expensive. However, where the manpower is already available in-house or can be reasonably trained and as a long-term strategy of a capacity building policy, Apache on Linux should be used. . Commercial software such as Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and Macintosh OS/X suffer the same lack of sufficient local technical expertise and high maintenance cost. Windows, particularly 2000 Server is the most widely used operating system platform by Library Automation software and should therefore be used for the Library Automation process. Windows XP, which is often bundled with workstation hardware, can be used at the user workstations.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 17 II Application software: . UNESCO’s Greenstone software is suggested because it is free, while the product and related capacity building are supported by UNESCO . Anti-virus and firewall. The Virtual Library should subscribe to free Anti-virus software like AVG, Sophos - mail-scan, PC-Cillin, and free firewalls like in-built Windows XP firewall, Sygate, Zone Alarm and Tiny Personal Firewall and Sophos firewall that allows for upgrading from the internet. These should be installed on the server and the workstations as appropriate. It should be noted that the advanced versions of the above software attract a fee. The identification, evaluation and utilisation of free open source, as well as commercial, software require capacity building. . Several Optical Character Recognition (OCR) products are bundled with scanning hardware and office suite software application bundles. . Basic e-Publishing software like Star office and Adobe Acrobat are free. However, to derive full benefits the Adobe suit should be purchased. Other commercial products such as MS-Word and other document processing software could also be considered. . Browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Opera are free and often bundled with the operating systems or other software packages including Greenstone.

F Recommendations:

A The start-up level, type, quantum and sophistication of technology deployed must be suitable for the particular institution being considered. B An institution may opt to deploy all or some of the options provided above, based on need. C Intermediate options and their combinations should also be considered. D Remote locations that want to participate in the Virtual Library project will connect using the most suitable access technology as discussed variously above. Management Arrangements

1 Every network operating system has some in-built network management facilities. However, to ensure effective utilisation of Chapter 2 INFRASTRUCTURE & CONNECTIVITY

bandwidth, it is necessary to procure network monitoring software and develop policies for network security, access and maintenance. 2 The Virtual Library Consortium should facilitate the creation of policies that foster broad based partnerships with other institutions and the private sector. 3 Each node including the Virtual Library Consortium should establish and share extended help desk functions including alerts, software patches, best practices, specific expertise and emerging technologies. 4 All stakeholders should log and share hardware and software problems and solutions deployed as part of the construction of a collective memory and inform on upgrades and replacements as well as spare parts. 5 The stakeholders through the Virtual Library Consortium should agree on minimum equipment and software specifications. Action Plan

The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, will undertake the following: 1 Short-term: A Virtual Library strategic planning by nodes and the Virtual Library Consortium B Institutional and/ or cluster specific assessment of status and needs C Identification and prioritisation of appropriate technology options and combinations D Deployment of adopted Virtual Library infrastructure according to scheduled priorities E Capacity building begins F Establishment of help desks 2 Medium-term: A Monitoring and evaluation of deployment B Plan and institute maintenance arrangements C Develop in-house troubleshooting and basic maintenance capabilities D Capacity building continues E Infrastructural expansion and/ or scaling up including bandwidth requirements.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 19 3 Long-term: A Monitoring and evaluation of deployment B Review maintenance arrangements C Assess Infrastructure for replacement and/ or upgrading D Capacity building continues Conclusion

1 The infrastructure should be configured and conform to the overall needs of the user, administration, human resources and operational environment, not vice-versa. 2 Institutions have varying Information Communication Technology status, populations, strategic priorities, capacities, resources and operating environments and accordingly they will each have different start options and combinations of topologies and technologies. 3 Co-located institutions should be encouraged to form clusters for the cost effective sharing of resources and bandwidth in- particular. 4 It is more cost effective and rational to provide content via an Intranet where possible instead of the Internet. 5 Availability of free open source software resources, some of which have influential support bases, reduces take off costs provided investment is made in building human capacity. 6 There are a variety of content delivery vehicles available including e- books, e-mail, CD-ROM, Hard Disks, cache/ proxies on the internet as well as web access. They should optimally be used in combination as required to make access to the Virtual Library as ubiquitous as possible. 7 The rapidity of technology change is such that equipment and human resources require constant updating. This can only be achieved using a private sector based approach since government may not be able to provide the continuity of funding amidst competing sectoral demands. 8 Due to the mobility of expertise a private sector based approach should be deployed to Human Resources Management for the Virtual Library CHAPTER 3

ADMINISTRATION Chapter 3 ADMINISTRATION

Aims and Objectives

1 Identify and review management options and recommend a best-fit for Nigerian Higher Education Institutions (Higher Education Institutions) that would ensure transparency, cost-effectiveness, resource sharing, proper ownership and sustainability of the Virtual Library. 2 Identify participatory roles and responsibilities for stakeholder institutions. 3 Formulate a management arrangement that would significantly reduce Virtual Library project risks. Technical Issues and Details

1 Options list

The following alternative ways of organising a Virtual Library were considered:

A Centralised System- Where there is a strong Centre (Coordinating body) and everything (management, content, budget, etc) is decided there B Decentralised System- This is where the units or member institutions are autonomous and have little or nothing to do with the centre or Coordinating body. They decide on their budget by themselves, decide on content individually, source materials independently and may have little collaboration with other member institutions or the Coordinating Centre. C Partially Decentralised System- Here, roles are defined for the central body as well as the member institutions. Administration is Decentralised, funding responsibility is shared, infrastructure is Decentralised, content development is Decentralised but with a back- up at the centre, training will be both at the local and central levels, etc. Where donation is made to the project, this will be centralised and allocated based on a guideline to be evolved. A variant of this alternative is where some specialization is introduced, and some member libraries may specialize in developing materials on particular subjects. 2 Evaluation of Options: A Centralised: The arrows on the organogram signify Node one-way traffic from the centre to the nodes. I Merits: Node Centre Node . Easier to populate the Virtual Library with foreign content.

5 Recommendation

A The recommended organisation structure for the Virtual Library is the decentralised system. B The central coordinating body should be called the Virtual Library Consortium.

C The Virtual Library Consortium coordinating body will act as the regulator and facilitator of the Virtual Library Stakeholders. The Virtual Library Consortium coordinating body will not be a direct implementer or operational node of the Virtual Library.

D In the implementation of this option, the Virtual Library element of the library should only be a unit within the existing library structure. Where the existing library has a good computer unit, the capacity of the staff there should be enhanced to handle the digitization process of the library. Where this is lacking, qualified personnel could be hired to implement the project in the library, and existing staff must be retrained. E The Virtual Library Consortium should act as the regulator of the participating Virtual Library stakeholder institutions and evolve mechanisms to ensure that shared equipment, national materials and other information resources at particular Higher Education Institution site are maintained by such institutions. F Therefore, UNESCO should facilitate the formation of a Virtual Library Consortium as described below. Management Arrangements

1 Definition of the coordinating body A The recommendation for a coordinating body is based on the fact that the Virtual Library is an innovation and for it to take root, it requires a unique structure in order to pursue an effective take off and delivery. B Requirements: The requirements include: I Fair representation of all stakeholders and this engenders a sense of belonging II Availability of infrastructure II Capacity to do what the different nodes could do and allow for back up of systems IV Technical capacity of nodes must be synchronized. 2 Role definition of the coordinating body. The coordinating body shall be the administrative secretariat and clearing house of the Virtual Library Consortium. Its functions shall include the following: A Develop Consortium membership guidelines B Setting standards, policies and guidelines for Virtual Library operations for member libraries C Responsibility for Licensing, negotiations, allocation of resources and copyright matters D Undertake marketing strategies in terms of negotiations with donor agencies, contacts for Fund raising E Legal matters F Development of virtual union catalogue G Capacity building for member institutions H Refine, promote and enforce nationwide interlibrary lending policies and procedures I Undertakes project evaluation J Encourage competition between the nodes K Serve as an information clearing house for the Virtual Library L Compiling best practice guides 3 Role definition of the nodes. The node should subscribe to the Virtual Library Consortium and facilitate the evolution of the traditional library into an integrated library. Its functions shall include the following:: A Undertake institutional needs assessment; B Undertake mobilisation of users; C Undertake local training; D Selection and digitisation of local content E Administration of the node F Design and implement incentives for staff and users of the Virtual Library G Monitoring and evaluation of nodal activities H Ensure institutions provision of budget line for Virtual Library activities; I Development of user, access, security and related policies J Ensure maintenance and updating of their Virtual Library nodes K Provision of local content to the Centre.

E Project Assessment, Review and Modulation Conclusion

1 For the Virtual Library to be useful, appropriate and relevant to, and sustainable by Higher Education Institutions, emerging from decades of authoritarian, arbitrary and over-centralized governance and administration, Nigeria requires to re-empower its Higher Education Institutions to build capacity, innovate and cultivate a sense of ownership for problems and solutions that affect their fundamental functions and operations. 2 Mandated to innovate, generate and refine content through research; disseminate organized content through teaching; and to serve as foci for National development through community services, to over-centralize the Virtual Library would further disable the Higher Education Institutions by taking away almost all their basic functions and render it a "white- elephant project" by alienating the project from its primary stakeholders of students and staff of the Higher Education Institutions. This is particularly true for a technology that changes so rapidly that only those employed and paid to innovate and keep track of innovations, could hope to maintain, update and advance the technology. 3 A consortium management arrangement that is wholly owned by member institutions, whose operations derive from and are undertaken by the Higher Education Institutions, facilitated by a coordinating centre to encourage resource sharing, serve as a clearing house and confer benefits of economies of scale would be consistent with global trends, be more attractive to donors, empower Higher Education Institutions, and greatly reduce project risks and render the Virtual Library to be need-specific, useful and sustainable. CHAPTER 4

LEGAL, COPYRIGHT & PAYMENT ISSUES Chapter 4 LEGAL, COPYRIGHT & PAYMENT ISSUES

Aims and Objectives

1 Identify, and examine the relevant legal and copyright issues, which may arise in the course of establishing and managing a Virtual Library by institutions of Higher Education in Nigeria. 2 Align the operations of the Virtual Library with the provisions of the existing copyright laws. A Issues considered include the provisions of the law as regards protection, transfer, infringement, penalty, as well as exceptions to copyright control, as they affect institutions of Higher Education. B In particular, exceptions to copyright control as enumerated in the Nigerian Deposit Law in section 64 of the Laws of Nigeria LN61 of 1970. 3 Appraise payment related-matters, including structures and modality within the framework of the copyright law. Technical Issues and Details

1 Applicable Law The Copyright Act, chapter 68 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 (as amended), is the relevant statute regarding copyright protection in Nigeria. The Act contains some important provisions, which will guarantee the operations of the Virtual Library without the risk of infringement of copyright, including: A General Nature of copyright

Copyright is the right conferred by statute on the author of creative works to control acts that may be done in relation to such work by a third party. Section I (I) of the Copyright Act lists the broad category of works which are eligible for copyright protection to include: literary works, musical work, artistic, cinematograph films, sound recording and broadcast. The basic rights conferred on authors of the protected works include the right to do or authorise the doing of any of the following acts:

I Reproducing the works in any material form II Publishing the work III Performing the work in public IV Producing, reproducing, performing or publishing any translation of the work; V Making any cinematograph film or a record in respect of the work VI Distributing to the public for commercial purposes copies of the work by ways of rental, lease, hire, loan, or similar arrangements VII Broadcasting or communicating the work to the public in a loud speaker or any other similar devise VIII Doing in relation to the translation or adaptation of the work any of the acts specified in (i.) to (viii) above. IX To do any of these acts without the expressed authorization of the copyright owner amounts to an infringement, which may give, rise to civil or criminal liability. B Exceptions from Copyright Control

The second schedule to the Copyright Act creates exceptions to copyright control in respect of certain uses of copyrighted works. Paragraphs (a), (h), (k), (q) and (r) of the schedule are particularly important as they make provision for use of copyright works in non commercial settings like educational institutions, public libraries, non commercial documentation centres and similar institutions. The schedule states thus:

I “The right conferred in respect of a work by section 5 of this Act does not include the right to control - II The doing of any of the acts mentioned in the said paragraph 5 by way of fair dealing for purposes of research, private use, criticism or review or the reporting of current event, subject to the condition that if the use is public, it shall be accompanied by an acknowledgement of the title of the work and its authorship except where the work is incidentally included in a broadcast; III Any use made of a work in an approved educational institution for the educational purposes of that institution, subject to the conditional that if a reproduction is made for any such purpose it shall be destroyed before the end of the prescribed period, or if there is not prescribed period, before the end of the period of 12 months after it was made; IV Any use made of the work by or under the direction or control of the Government, or by such public libraries, non-commercial documentation centres and scientific or other institutions as may be prescribed, where the use is in the public interest, no revenue is derived there from an no admission fee is charged for the communication, if any, to the public of the works so used; V The making of not more than three copies of a book (including a pamphlet, sheet music, map, chart or plan) by or under the direction of the person in charge of a public library for the use of the library if such a book is not available for sale in Nigeria; VI The reproduction for the purpose of research or private study of an unpublished literary or musical work kept in a library, museum, or other institution to which the public has access.” Chapter 4 LEGAL, COPYRIGHT & PAYMENT ISSUES

VII However, the critical conditions for the exceptions are the following: . The use must be for educational purpose; . no revenue should be derived there from, and no admission fees should be charged for the purpose of making copyright works available to the public; . the use should not be prejudicial to the interest of copyright owners. VIII These exceptions are applicable to the Virtual Library, making it possible to operate with minimal requirement for the usual copyright licenses or authorisation. It is, therefore, necessary for implementers of the scheme to design appropriate modalities to ensure that the operation of the scheme is kept within the ambit of the stipulated exceptions. 2 Payment Taking cognisance of the need for the scheme to adopt a self sustaining strategy through some fund generation mechanism, adoption of a fee charging policy that will be compatible with the fair dealing principles under the law is necessary. Consequently, it is recommended that a library fee system, which has been a well-recognised practice in institutions, be continued with necessary modifications. Such fees may however be adjusted upwards but generally kept within affordable range, while students and other members of the academic community are guaranteed access to the facility from any point. For the purpose of the latter, convenient access methods are recommend as follows: A For persons who are outside the institutional environment, access may be given through the use of scratch cards, which will be valid for a specified period. B For Students and Staff of the member institutions, there are four payment options: I Web Based Payments Solutions – This solution requires that institutions develop appropriate web interface to enable users to interact and communicate with the institution and its Virtual Library from within and outside the campus locations for all activities including payments. II E-Mail Based Payment System - The e-mail based system collects payment from potential payers and transmits via e-mail to the payee. III Smart - ID Cards. – These are multi-functional, multi-application cards embedded with an electronic purse. IV Scratch Cards - The card will carry varying monetary values reflecting span of period of access and expiration 3 Licensing and Authorisation

It is necessary to ensure that the provisions of the copyright law are adhered to in the operations and services of the VIRTUAL LIBRARY. The available options for securing license include: A Direct negotiation, whereby the library will approach individual copyright owners to negotiate for the grant of licence and terms there of; B Securing licence directly, or through the Virtual Library Consortium, from management agencies, or vendors, that act on behalf of copyright owners. This option should be given serious consideration as it has the advantage of providing a large repertoire of works and economies of scale.

3 Recommendations

A Institutions in collaboration with the Virtual Library Consortium must identify and select the payment mechanism most suited to their peculiar needs and circumstances. B The quantum of charges should be deregulated to institutions. C The Virtual Library Consortium should be incorporated as a Foundation limited by guarantee and facilitated by UNESCO and Government. D Government should update the existing copyright laws to enable them to meet the demands of electronic publishing, dissemination and use. E The Virtual Library Consortium and nodes must ensure that they are current at all times with international copyright laws and conventions. Management Arrangements

1 The Virtual Library Consortium (VLC) will act as the regulator and facilitator of the Virtual Library Stakeholders.

2 The Virtual Library Consortium in collaboration with stakeholder institutions should develop standards and mechanisms to monitor the usage of Virtual Library materials and sanctions in the case of copyright abuses. 3 The choice of monitoring and payment systems stated above and subsequently selected by the stakeholder institution has implications for the management of copyright and associated liabilities. Action Plan

The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, will undertake the following: Chapter 4 LEGAL, COPYRIGHT & PAYMENT ISSUES

1 Short-term: A To sensitise operators and users of Virtual Library on the need to adhere to copyright principles as enshrined in the Copyright Act and other relevant international instruments to which Nigeria is signatory. This will be done using the media, workshops, conferences, newsletters, on-line discussion groups. B Legislative amendments to the existing Nigerian Copyright Act, as amended in 1999, should be effected to make the provisions relevant to the digital environment. Such amendments should be initiated within the first year of this exercise and completed not later than 24 months. 2 Medium-term: A Appropriate payment modalities and schemes be developed, tested and perfected within 24 months. B Initiate arrangements for country-wide subscriptions for various international full-text bibliographic databases. C Develop the copyright caption mechanisms for the Virtual Library websites, and for works available on the Virtual Library. 3 Long-term: A Enforcement of copyright compliance. B Periodic review of the copyright law to accommodate changing technologies and operating environment. C Periodic review of payment and related mechanisms. Conclusion

1 The Virtual Library can commence operations under existing copyright laws. 2 The existing copyright laws will, however, require updating to enable them meet the demands of electronic publishing, dissemination and use. 3 There is a need for the stakeholder institutions to develop standards and mechanisms to monitor copyright abuses and determine sanctions. 4 Virtual Library charges and payments should be limited to charges on facilities and overhead, as opposed to charges for use of materials. Uses and charges for copyrighted materials should comply with the relevant copyright laws. 5 Each institution should adopt the payment option(s) appropriate to its technological infrastructure and managerial capacity as well as its peculiar circumstances. CHAPTER 5

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT Chapter 5 HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Aims and Objectives

1 Prepare staff to cope with the present and anticipated needs and demands of the users and the society at large. 2 Impart knowledge, skills, ideas, experience and information to facilitate easy integration and assimilation. 3 Ensure competence and capacity to enhance performance and productivity to cope with the expectations and tasks of the Virtual Library. 4 Promote harmonious industrial relations, positive change in attitudes and behaviours as well as broadening the minds of the workforce at all levels through acquisition and exchange of information, ideas, knowledge, skills and experiences within and outside the library and information centre. 5 Identify and review management options and recommend a best-fit for Nigerian Higher Education Institutions that would ensure transparency, cost-effectiveness, resource sharing, proper ownership and sustainability of the Virtual Library 6 Facilitate appropriate enlightenment and user education to ensure the proper and optimal utilisation of the Virtual Library. Technical Issues and Details

1 Options list A Types of training: All categories of library and information workers marshalled for Virtual Library systems and services need to be educated, trained and retrained to conform to their new duties and responsibilities. Some of the avenues readily available for capacity building in a typical information or knowledge centre include: I Full-time training programme II Part-time training programme III On-the-job training and apprenticeship or internship IV Short-term training programme in specific area of interest to the success of the organization and the Virtual Library system V In-service training programme with all the accompanying financial and material benefits to the trainee VI Self-sponsored training endeavour by the trainee, especially for personal improvement in an area of interest VII Conferences, seminars and workshops VIII Distance learning programme

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 38 B Sources of training I In-house II Out-sourced 2 Evaluation of Options: A The choice of which type of training programme should the library and information workers attend or benefit from for the Virtual Library will largely depend upon several factors in the organization, these include: I The human resource development policy II The existing and anticipated skills and knowledge required of the staff III The financial and material support available IV The existing avenues available for staff development V The cost of the training programme. VI The type of staff currently available in the system or organization. B In-house training I Merits of In-house training are: . Builds capacity . Cost effective . Forges team spirit . Minimises loss of man-hour/productivity II Demerits of In-house training are: . Distractions by other duties and responsibilities . No cross fertilization with people of other organizations . No Networking C Outsourced Training I Merits of Outsource training: . Experienced consultant or firm . Participants horizon widens through cross fertilization . Meeting people from different organizations . Change of environment is refreshing II Demerits of Outsourced training: Chapter 5 HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

. Could be expensive . Re-entry of staff could be a problem . Risk of loosing staff through poaching Management Arrangements

1 Human Resource Functions: The following generic human resource functions at the nodes are subject to modifications after proper “needs analysis” at the node. The generic job functions to be performed in a Virtual Library node and the calibre of personnel to be required are as follows: A The Librarian: Supervision of all aspects of the development of the Virtual Library. Sources for materials, digitizes, uploads and manages the overall resources of the Virtual Library system at the node. B Acquisition/ Collection Development Librarian: Identifies the resources and arranges acquisition C Digitization Officer: Converts material into electronic format D System Administrator: Manages the network infrastructure E Webmaster: Provides the wherewithal of composing and uploading digitized information on to the Web F User Assistants and attendants including: I Web Navigator: Assists users of the Virtual Library to find their ways on the web II Indexers: Summarises documents and created abstracts G The quality and quantity of staff required depends on the functions and size of the node. 2 Compensation, Motivation & Retention A The attainment of high-level staff performance and provision of quality service should be the major focus of the Virtual Library. These and other objectives can only be achieved when staff are adequately compensated and motivated. It should be realized that the Virtual Library is coming on-stream in Nigeria at a time when the required expertise in Information Communication Technology generally is in short supply. Necessary provision in the condition of service in the Virtual Library staff should be made to ensure that staff have job satisfaction and security. This is to encourage staff to remain with, and give their best to, the system. B The foregoing should be taken into consideration in determining appropriate remuneration and compensation to the staff. Staff of the Virtual Library should be well compensated; in monetary and

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 40 non-monetary forms. The remunerations should be comparable to those in the private sector. Motivational packages should be built in the salary of employees. C Provision of incentives, monitory and non-monitory, positive and negative will be structured in a manner that will enhance staff retention capacity. 3 Career development A Career is the entire process which an employee undergoes right from first day on the job to the time when he leaves the job. The career structure of employees of the Virtual Library should be well developed to encourage professionalism. The career ladder should be such that movement should be flexible. The environment of the Virtual Library should be designed so as to avoid career stress. B The establishment of the Virtual Library should be complementary. However, it is expected that as the expansion of the Virtual Library progresses and the traditional libraries deploy Information Communication Technology to improve services, there might be need to redeploy staff and harmonise library functions. 4 Social contract A An important component of capacity building in developing countries is the opportunity provided to create new job opportunities for the people of the country. Partnerships that support human development are preferable to those that offer quicker, and often cheaper off-site conversion, but which ignore the social upliftment of job creation. B Human resource development should be aimed at breaking the digital divide. The Internet provides global information sharing, changing the way in which users interact with information resources. The boundary to knowledge dissemination is no longer owned and distributed in an unequal hierarchy from the dispenser (the librarian or archivist) to the user. The value of information is no longer vested in its ownership, but in the trusted value-added services of skilled information professionals to guide and direct the user in turning the overwhelming volume of electronic information into knowledge. C The social implications and impact of digitization are enormous. It will eventually create jobs, provide a pool of confident and competent work force, provide local content, and open up opportunities for jobs, and for import and export of goods and services. 5 Management of change A Peoples’ natural aversion to change is legendry, especially where available personnel perceive themselves to be old, ill-prepared and vulnerable. The opportunity for them to be trained and retrained Chapter 5 HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

to remove the fear of, and resistance to, change must be clearly offered very early in the reorganization process. For the Virtual Library project to succeed in all the participating libraries there will be the need for a culture shift among the staff who work there, and the users of the library. This will see I The Collection Development Librarians adapting to selection of Internet sources II Reference Librarians engaging in the design and publication of electronic services and resources III Interlibrary loan will encompass electronic receipt of user- initiated requests, and end-user electronic document delivery reserves will grow to include an electronic full text format. B All these will require staff to attain a greater depth and breadth of knowledge. Capacity building will be better and effectively achieved by encouraging partnerships with acclaimed consultants, institutions or individuals with proven experience in the use of these new technologies and who are willing to transfer the skills. C Accordingly, one of the first steps is to identify such institutions and sources of partnerships and identification of every aspect of the change process with the available human resources. 6 Requirements A Fair representation of all stakeholders. B Availability of infrastructure C Capacity to do what the different nodes could do and allow for back up of systems D Technical capacity of nodes must be synchronized. 7 Recommendation A Training programme: The programme for capacity building in libraries and information centres should include courses in Information and Communication Technology (Information Communication Technology) applications, competences and skills, financial, management, public relations, information preservation and archiving, management information systems (MIS), report writing, Total Quality Management (TQM) and knowledge management. B The training requirement for staff of a Virtual Library node is as follows: I Basic computer appreciation modules II Internet and intranet browsing III Website designing

The certificate earned from such training should be capable of forging a career development D Twenty five percent (25%) of the Virtual Library budget at each node, and the Virtual Library Consortium, should be set aside for training. Action Plan The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, will undertake the following: 1 Short-term: A Conduct staff audit by the nodes B Evolve a Human Resource Development policy. C Staff restructuring/ conversion D Identify areas of need E Design and initiate train-the-trainer programs F Recruitment/ retraining of staff as appropriate G Staff training/ capacity building Chapter 5 HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

H Initiate Virtual Library internship programs to build capacity among students and non-library staff. I Initiate programs to build capacity among academic and non- teaching staff. 2 Medium-term: A Manpower Planning and establish a Human Resources policy B Manpower training and development C Identification of various types and modes of training D Development of training modules E Develop a staff retention policy and program 3 Long-term: A Establishment of training program and capacity linkages. B Design and implement training laboratories. C Periodic review of Human Resource policy. D Training and Retraining of staff. Conclusion

1 It is necessary for each Higher Education Institution to re-organize its library functions and carry out, as appropriate, a library and information science curriculum review so as to provide the much-needed training and retraining to ensure the availability of the right crop of personnel that will cope with the challenges of Knowledge Management. 2 In order to ensure quality assurance in training, it is necessary to conduct training needs analysis to determine personnel to be trained, training content, training providers (in-house and external), methods of delivery and training materials. 3 It is expected that existing Library Staff will be taught the skills required, and thereby converted, to operate and manage the Virtual Library. This will ensure that staff recruitment and related overheads will be kept to the barest minimum. Any new staff will be employed by the Institutions Library and deployed to the Virtual Library as deemed necessary by the Library management. 4 It is also expected that Libraries will encourage the participation of Interns in the Virtual Library activities. 5 Staff performance reviews shall be periodically and diligently carried out to provide a qualitative and dedicated workforce.

E The analysis also shows that with the exception of level 1, the Virtual library nodes will generate sufficient income to cover its recurrent costs and some limited future asset replacement. F Apart from the initial take-off funding requirement of N21,927,558,014.87 indicated above, an additional external funding requirement, of N17,878,392,276.30 will be required at the end of the fourth year when most of the capital assets will be due for replacement.

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 74 Aims and Objectives

1 Identify the sources of funds for the take-off of the Virtual Library. 2 Proffer strategies to sustain and develop the Virtual Library. Technical Issues and Details

1 Options list. Potential Sources of Funding and Technical Assistance: A Public Sector: I Government Budget line; II Government agencies and programs including but not limited to the Education Tax Fund (ETF), Petroleum Development Technology Fund (PTDF), Niger Delta Development Corporation (NDDC) and the Ecological fund etc.; III Federal and State Government special fund allocation. B Donor Agencies and Civil Society: I Multilateral agencies like agencies of the United Nations and the World Bank. II Development agencies like Japan Funds in Trust, Department for International Development (DFID), Swedish International Development Agency (SWIDA), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU). III Donors lsuch as the MacArthur, Rockefeller, Soros, Ford, CISCO, Gates, AT&T and Carnegie foundations. Initiatives Nigeria must strive to participate in include: . The Carnegie Mellon University with a grant from the US National Science Foundation has embarked on the “Million Book Project.” The scanning and text entry work is undertaken in India and China, and the e-material is made available to US, Indian and Chinese academia. Nigeria with its English speaking academic community should endeavour to partner and benefit from this type of project. III Initiatives that Nigeria must endeavour to partner with include: . “Million Book Project.”, which holds government documents and older titles particularly those whose copyright has expired. . “Project Gutenberg”, which contains predominantly not copyrighted classics, and currently has 10,000 items online Chapter 7 FUNDING & SUSTAINABILITY

. “International Children’s Digital Library”, with mainly children’s books written in the USA and Internationally. . “Children’s Books online: The Rosetta Project” which include antique children’s books from around the world. V Civil Society bodies like the Open Society Institute, Education for Development and Democracy Initiative and The Partnership for Higher Education. C Private Sector: I Private providers of Higher Educational Institutions II Local and multinational companies. Examples to consider include Amazon.com, the world’s largest on-line retailer, has developed and is implementing a business model that provides fully searchable text. . Amazon’s “Search inside the book” business model aims to build the world’s largest digital book archive, and as at mid 2003 it had over 120,000 books. They have addressed many of the technological, copyright and marketing issues as they relate to generating sustainable profitability. III Small Scale Enterprises. Models based on the “book mobile” that captures internet signals and prints books on demand in any locality in the USA for about US$1 per book and over 100,000 titles available. IV Private Investors V Partners D Stakeholders: I Membership fees II Usage fees III Rentals . Cyber cafés . IP Telephony IV Charges for Consumables . Paper printouts . CD-ROM production . Diskette copies V Commissions on: . Copyright payment

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 76 . Website advertisement . Related income generating activities VI Structure long-term debt instruments such as educational municipal bond. . Each node would thus be challenged to support and effectively market the bond. . The “municipal” aspect of the bond is important as it focus on the grass root community around the node. E Community: I Usage fees II Development levies F Non Virtual Library Consortium Libraries and Institutions I Usage fees II Donations 2 Evaluation of Options and Recommendations A A Virtual Library is capital intensive, particularly in the absence of the required infrastructure and capacities as is the case in many of Nigeria’s Institutions of Higher Education. B As is the case in most educational endeavours, it is unlikely that the totality of the Virtual Library can be financially viable from a purely commercial perspective. The real dividends lie in the development of human capital. However, it is feasible for the private sector to participate in aspects of the Virtual Library. Such involvement will contribute to the overall financing and sustainability of the Virtual Library. C Partnerships could be formed within the educational system as well as with all the potential sources of funding and technical assistance. D Corporate bodies will be a significant funding source, comprising of the following sub-groups: I Corporate Image Enhancement: For these organisations the Virtual library provides an opportunity for 'giving back' to the community and therefore improving their image as good corporate citizens. II Business Development: For these entities participation provides an opportunity to showcase their products and services and also to begin to build life-long loyalty. III Corporations, Governments, NGOs and their institutions and agencies that have specific Virtual Library content and staff development requirements that could be met by Virtual Library Chapter 7 FUNDING & SUSTAINABILITY

Consortium members through partnerships and commissioned capacity-building projects and programs. E User and membership rates should be such that institutions and users appreciate the services and contribute to the sustainability of the Virtual Library. Management Arrangements

1 Accountability and transparency will be institutionalised at the nodes and the Virtual Library Consortium and supported by the appointment of External Auditors whose reports will be in the public domain. To facilitate monitoring and auditing activities, donated or procured equipment for the nodes and Virtual Library Consortium should be identifiable. 2 The tasks of fundraising and developing linkages should be definitively assigned, and technically supported, at each node and the Virtual Library Consortium. 3 The management structure of the Virtual Library Consortium is enumerated in Chapter 3: Administration. Action Plan

The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, will undertake the following: 1 Short-term: A Sensitise stakeholders and sectoral regulators B Initiate contact with relevant government agencies. C Initiate contact with institutions that provide structured long-term development debt instruments such as the stock exchange. D Initiate contact with partner agencies including donors, non- governmental agencies, civil society and the private sector. E Initiate linkage with complementary projects and agencies. F Establish a culture of preparation, publishing and dissemination of annual reports of activities for the nodes and the consortium. G Establish a culture of preparation, publishing and dissemination of audited accounts for the nodes and the consortium. H Identify and plan training on fund raising, financial and project management for nodal and consortium staff. I Identify banking partners J Establish financial management and accountability procedures K Identify and appoint project auditors

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 78 L Develop and implement cost recovery policies. 2 Medium-term: A Reviewing and adopting payment and related modalities. B Conducting Institutional and consortium status review of financial needs and sustainability plans. C Commencement of training on fund raising, financial and project management for nodal and consortium staff. D Preparation, publishing and dissemination of annual reports of activities for the nodes and the consortium E Preparation, publishing and dissemination of audited accounts for the nodes and the consortium F Monitoring and evaluation G Fundraising activities H Broadening the Institutional and end user base J Ongoing review and implementation of cost recovery policies from users and Higher Education Institutions 3 Long-term: A Expansion of fundraising activities B Further developing public private sector partnership strategies to sustain and develop the Virtual Library C Continuous monitoring and evaluation Conclusion

1 Globally, educational Information Communication Technology projects such as the Virtual Library are expensive but developmentally profitable, without necessarily being financially profitable. This is because the real cost of not implementing the Virtual Library far outweigh their financial cost. 2 Nigeria and her partners must invest in the Virtual Library and complementary activities to ensure that her manpower outputs become relevant the new social and economic realities. 3 In the longer term, equipment costs represent not more than 10% of total Information Communication Technology projects’ cost, with 90% of the costs being expended on training technical staff and users. For Nigerian Higher Education Institutions, given their state of infrastructure and capacity, equipment costs are likely to be proportionally higher. 4 The challenge for Nigeria therefore, consists of how to find investment funds for the take-off of the Virtual Library and how to sustain the Chapter 7 FUNDING & SUSTAINABILITY

project and render it useful for the project to yield the developmental dividends.

5 Sustainability should be ensured first and foremost, through rational project planning, financing and implementation using appropriate scalable technology modules, and subsequently through consortium membership dues, user charges, re- investments and partnerships with private and public sector agencies as well as civil society.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES Chapter 8 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

Aims and Objectives

1 Provide an implementation schedule for the development of a Virtual Library for Institutions of Higher Education. 2 Draw up a range of appropriate scalable implementation modules and strategies that various Institutions of Higher Education can adopt depending on their circumstances. Technical Issues and Details

1 Options list A Types of Implementation I Full scale “Big-bang” project approach. This option assumes that all Higher Education Institutions are starting from the same level and all the funding, infrastructure, and capacities required will be provided. II Gradual development/ phased implementation approach and its variants. Phased implementation of the “big bang” approach enumerated above where institutions are selected based on criteria such as: the need for every user to move up one step from their present baseline, activity, age, readiness, sub-sector, availability of funds and geopolitical considerations. III Hybrid. Combinations of the above approaches. B Modes of Virtual Library implementation I Full public sector II Private sector driven III Donor assisted IV Public/ Private Partnership 2 Evaluation of Options and Recommendations: A Modes of Implementation I Full scale “Big-bang” project approach. Merits: . Immediate availability of all the required funds . Immediate availability of Virtual Library resources for academic use . Immediate political and administrative gratification and visibility Demerits:

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 82 . This strategy has the highest project risks because it encourages corruption . It is wasteful of resources through sub-optimal utilisation of facilities and the likely failure to maintain and sustain the Virtual Library. . Does not allow for organic growth .

C The need for Nigeria to be producer of content and not just a consumer of content. D The scale of national infrastructure deficit is daunting. E The availability of electricity is a critical infrastructural issue F The high cost of bandwidth limits services and access G Nigeria lacks the required human capacity to immediately manage and utilise a full scale Virtual Library H The major dividend to be expected from the Virtual Library is to improve the quality and standards of learning, teaching, research and community services I Government is the major proprietor of Higher Educational Institutions and should be expected to be the major facilitator to the development of the Virtual Library. J The private sector including business, industry and civil society has as much at stake as other sectors in the quality of output of the Higher Educational Institutions. K Higher Educational Institutions should be encouraged to innovate and sustain innovations by raising their level of confidence in their ability to do so and manage their own processes. 4 Critical tasks: A Sensitisation and mobilisation such that Higher Educational Institutions take ownership of the process B Formation of the Virtual Library Consortium and the appointment of the consortium coordinator C Soliciting and securing public and private sector international and multilateral partnerships D Securing funding and technical support from Government, Donors, other funding agencies and the private sector. E Development of a Virtual Library “How to manual” for the various technology options F Higher Educational Institution in-house identification of needs and resources to be digitized G Adoption and deployment of appropriate start-up process and standards by the Higher Educational Institutions H Prioritisation of content to be developed and adoption of standards such as the union catalogue and other Virtual Library policies I Prioritisation, procurement and sharing of content J Capacity building and user education

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 84 K Monitoring and evaluation 5 Recommendations: A Adopt a decentralised consortium management arrangement as enumerated in Chapter 3: Administration. B UNESCO and Government should facilitate the formal registration of the Virtual Library Consortium as a Foundation limited by guarantee as described in Chapter 4: Legal matters. C A phased implementation strategy based on the premise that every user should move up one step beyond where they are as predicated on their current circumstances and situations, and not premised on the failed traditional phasing criteria, such as the choosing of centres of excellence, institution population size, existing technical circumstances, political or other criteria that lend themselves to abuse. This is best done by the Virtual Library Consortium stakeholders after the level funding has been provided during the first stages of implementation. D The Virtual Library Consortium should develop mechanisms for protecting content by minimising unnecessary duplication, while maximising resource sharing as discussed in Chapter 1 on Content. E The Virtual Library should be used as a vehicle to project our culture, values and capabilities while preserving our national heritage and collective memory. F It is more feasible to adopt the Gradual development/ phased implementation approach. This should be done in such a manner that every user and node moves up one step from their present baseline, rather than failed phasing approaches like the designation of centres of excellence, institution population size, existing circumstances, political or other criteria that lend themselves to abuse. G Institute strategies to ensure continuous monitoring, evaluation, accountability and transparency such as the regular publishing of audited accounts as recommended in “Chapter 7: Funding and Sustainability.” H At least twenty five percent (25%) of the budget should be set aside for capacity building as described in Chapter 5: Human Resources Management I The type, quantum and sophistication of technology deployed must conform to the needs of the user and Institution and be configured to meet the needs of the institutions’ users, administration, human resources and operational environment as mentioned in Chapter 2: Infrastructure and Connectivity. J Institutions must be encouraged to partner with private sector Cyber-cafes, Internet Service Providers (ISP) Telecoms providers Chapter 8 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

and related organisations so that sub-consortia are formed to provide on-campus access to the Virtual Library in a conducive, professional and cost effective manner acceptable all parties at the particular node. Management Arrangements

1 Setting up of an implementation mechanism to track and evaluate progress, ensure transparency and standards. 2 Constant evaluation at the nodes and Virtual Library Consortium centre will ensure success of the gradual implementation strategy 3 The Virtual Library Consortium will facilitate the creation a policy that fosters broad based partnerships with other institutions and the private sector. 4 Conscious efforts will be made to encourage professionalism and excellence through motivation and career development programs and intra and inter institutional competition. 5 The selection of content for digitisation will ensure that rare or at risk materials are given priority attention. 6 Therefore, collaboration with UNESCO’s cultural heritage program will be encouraged. 7 Preparation of operations manual for each component of the Virtual Library. 8 An implementation manual that will be duly informed by the operations manual will precede project implementation. 9 A manual on best practices will be developed and constantly updated and shared as implementation progresses Action Plan

The Virtual Library Consortium and or the nodes, as appropriate, will undertake the following: 1 Short-term: A Formation of the Virtual Library Consortium facilitated by UNESCO and the Government. B Build Virtual Library Consortium Membership through sensitisation of all stakeholders C Initiate fund raising activities and partnerships D Assessment of institutions to establish their baseline to inform start up activities and facilitate monitoring and evaluation. E Virtual Library strategic planning by stakeholder institutions

1 The success of the Virtual Library depends to a great extent on the funds available to implement, operate and sustain it. 2 Such funds are expected to be generated from Government, Donor agencies, non-governmental agencies, civil society and private sector partnerships, as well as from fees paid by users and individual institutions. 3 Cost savings can be achieved by ensuring that institutions that are already in the process of establishing a Virtual Library Chapter 8 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

system are not penalised but rewarded by enhancing their existing Virtual Library activities. 4 Similarly institutions that have made significant progress in the deployment of Information Communication Technology should be encouraged to integrate Virtual Library into their infrastructure. 5 The Virtual Library is an integral part of existing Library system and not an adjunct. 6 Therefore, existing library staff with designated Virtual Library functions should be given additional incentives to motivate and promote their retention. 7 However, job mobility of staff with Information Communication Technology skills requires that capacity drives will aim at developing a large pool of skilled labour. 8 To ensure accountability and transparency it is necessary to institute mechanisms to conduct annual audit of consortium and nodal accounts and activities.

Operational Considerations

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 90 1 There is a shortage of books and other materials in all libraries of Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria and therefore, the Virtual Library is needed and necessary. 2 The private sector will be encouraged to invest, where possible, in the project. 3 The Virtual Library will complement the functions and services of the existing traditional libraries. 4 The sustainability of the project is achievable if the right mix of stakeholders is secured, and public/ private partnership. 5 Not all interested institutions are capable of implementing the project at the same time 6 Interested institutions will be willing to commit or invest own resources in the project. 7 Start-up funding from Government and the donor community will be required. 8 Institutions and the coordinating body will be encouraged to source funds independently to finance this project. 9 The level of participation by interested institutions in the project may vary between institutions. 10 The Virtual Library Consortium is starting with a zero-based budget. 11 Access to usage rather than ownership is preferable. 12 A Consortium, to be known as the Virtual Library Consortium, will be incorporated at the Corporate Affairs Commission, as a Foundation limited by Guarantee. Its formation would be facilitated by Government and UNESCO, while its membership will be open to all Higher Education Institutions and interested organisations. 13 Founding members would serve as the Guarantors for the Consortium and new members join as they are ready. 14 The quality and quantity of human resources available to manage the Virtual Library project is not sufficient. 15 Sustainability of the project is dependent on private sector, non- governmental organisation and civil society participation. 16 Sooner or later, all Higher Educational Institutions will by virtue of enlightened self interest, buy into the Virtual Library. CONCLUSIONS

17 The directorates of Higher Education Institutions and that of Planning Research and Statistics of the Federal Ministry of Education do not have comprehensive statistics on the number, status, population or level of ICT usage of Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria. 18 There are many statistics used which are believed to have underreported the student population. For example, NBTE only collects enrolment information of polytechnic students enrolled in courses that NBTE has accredited. Several Polytechnics offer a range of Certificate and remedial courses which NBTE does not track. We have found that Polytechnics in urban locations have more students than NBTE statistics indicate, and in some cases over twice what the NBTE statistics show. 19 A regular budget line will be created by the Federal and State Governments and Private Proprietors of Higher Education Institutions for the project. 20 While donor agencies and the Nigerian private sector are identified as possible sources of fund for the project, the bulk of the funding is expected to come from Government sources and also from user charges. 21 Capital & recurrent votes will be released on schedule, and each institution of higher learning will set aside a portion of the capital vote and a small percentage of its recurrent vote for the Virtual Library project. 21 Education Tax Fund and the Petroleum Technology Development Fund are expected to provide substantial funding for the project 22 The project can be self-sustaining through the levying of sufficient fees and charges to be paid by students for access to the Virtual Library. 23 The projected user populations of the 500 Government owned Higher Education Institutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research and development are: I VLC Office: 1 Institution with 15 staff = 15 potential users II Level 6: 20 Institutions with 20,000 staff and students = 400,000 potential users III Level 5: 35 Institutions with 12,000 staff and students = 420,000 potential users IV Level 4: 50 Institutions with 9,000 staff and students = 450,000 potential users V Level 3: 200 Institutions with 5,000 staff and students = 1,000,000 potential users VI Level 2: 135 Institutions with 500 staff and students = 67,500 potential users

Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page 92 VII Level 1: 59 Institutions with 50 staff and students = 2,950 potential users VIII Total potential users, in Government owned Higher Education Institutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research and development is about 2,340,465. 24 There are estimated to be over 335 Private Higher Education Institutions whose estimated user and staff populations are I Very Large: 10 Institutions with up to 5,000 staff and students = 50,000 potential users II Large: 25 Institutions with up to 1,000 staff and students = 25,000 potential users III Medium: 100 Institutions with up to 500 staff and students = 50,000 potential users IV Small: 200 Institutions with up to 50 staff and students = 10,000 potential users V Total potential users, in Private Sector owned Higher Education Institutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research and development is about 135,000 which is equivalent to 5.77% of the users of the Government owned Higher Education Institutions. These numbers are changing as new Private Sector owned Higher Education Institutions are licensed by Government to operate and existing ones expand. 25 Of the total potential users only 30% are likely to use the Virtual Library regularly. 26 The ratio of Institutional size to number of computers suggested to be assigned is 1 computer for every 50 potential users. 27 No assumption is made for expected growth in the number of potential users as well as institutions in-long-term phase of this project. However, we believe that this possible growth will be significant. CONCLUSIONS

General Conclusion

The Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment for the Development of a Virtual Library by the Higher Education Institutions in Nigeria is part of concerted efforts to address the precarious situation of the Education system. There are many challenges including insufficient infrastructure, dearth of relevant skills and funding constraints. Mr. President, in asking for this feasibility study, is taking on these challenges and it has become imperative for us to follow his lead. The study's future works, include but are not limited to, issues of long-term preservation of content and potential linkages to desirable projects and initiatives such as: 1 Library automation 2 Curriculum review 3 Public/ Private Partnerships to raise funds for institutions 4 The National Open University of Nigeria 5 The National Teachers Institute with currently over 250,000 students undertaking distance learning courses 6 Harnessing National Human Resources potential through ICT. 7 Poverty Alleviation and creation of wealth 8 Environmental Protection and improvement 9 Promoting equity and gender equality The study serves as a useful guide to developing and deploying solutions aimed at providing easy, fast, economical and remote, on-line or CD-ROM- based, access to National and international content for education and research in the face of the dwindling per capita income. The comparative cost of accessing electronic editions of content is significantly cheaper than the equivalent print editions. It will also serve as an avenue that will enable us to leap frog into the ICT age, therefore enabling Nigeria to bridge the digital divide. This thrilling development bodes well for Nigeria which is emerging from a traumatic period. The inspirational ideas and impressive intellectual capabilities demonstrated by the stakeholders that have in some way contributed to this document give us great confidence in recommending that there is compelling need for the development of a Virtual Library for Higher Education institutions in Nigeria.

We also believe that the formal statistics under report the true student population. NBTE only collects enrolment information of polytechnic students enrolled in courses that NBTE has accredited. Most Polytechnics offer a range of Certificate and remedial courses which NBTE does not track. We believe that Polytechnics in urban locations often have at least twice the number of students that the NBTE statistics show. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
