100,000 e-books now made available to Nigerian varsities
Nigerian universities now have access to over 100,000 e-books which were made available by the Nigerian Research and Education Network (NgREN).
Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), made this disclosure at the formal donation of a -four- million dollar worth of e-content to Nigerian universities.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), EBSCOHost, a multinational Information Communication Technology
(ICT) firm, made the donation on Thursday, May 26, in Abuja.
Okojie
said that by accessing these resources, Nigerian universities and
research institutes will be part of more collaborative efforts that
would facilitate accreditation of programmes.
Nigerian universities were urged to utilise the resources which were made available on the NgREN at no cost until the end of 2016.
“The NgREN has secured
access to all EBSCOHost e-books collections and seven EBSCOHost research
databases among which is a full text e-journal.
“Others are periodicals and magazines of several academic disciplines and professional specialisations.
“These
resources contain more than 100, 000 high-quality e-book titles, 27,100
full text journals, 18, 430 indexed and abstracted journals, 9,041, 400
cited references, daily updates and 630 videos with transcripts and
related articles.
“This will in fact,
grow the number of available resources in the nation’s university
libraries and as a result, heighten research activities among
institutions in the Nigerian University System (NUS).
“In addition, it will improve the ranking of Nigerian universities,’’ he said.
In
her remark, EBSCOHost’s Vice-President (Sales), Mrs Collen Mills, said
that access to e-content could raise the quality of education.
