Preface

The confluence of information and communication technologies as illustrated by the Internet is decreasingly having further influence on all aspects of the society as it has come an integral part of the

diurnal lives of numerous people. It has had a transformative impact on the mode of information sharing and access encyclopedically. Information and knowledge circulated through the slow process of oral dispatches or with paper accoutrements can now be transferred fleetly from an individual to an horizonless number of druggies through a number of media and formats. The Internet is the fastest growing communication technology and has surfaced as a major source of information that connects people, data and other computers, reducing the world to the important talked- about global vill. Bane and Milhemi( 1995) described the Internet as the premier networks, everyone connected or as unmanaged web of computer tube. Technically and functionally, Hargittai( 1999) defined the Internet as a worldwide network of computers, and a network of people using computers that make vast quantities of information available. Amichai- Hamburger and Hayat( 2010) described the Internet as the creation of a nonstop sluice of computers linked together to form one grid, which enables commerce among hundreds of millions of people browsing the net.

Whereas the TV revolution reached 50 million observers in 13 times, the same feat was attained in only four times by the Internet( Molosi, 2001). Yunus and Khayal( 2000) posited that if there’s only one force that’s transubstantiating people’s lives and that holds pledge to deliver tumultuos impact in the future, it’s Internet. To emphasize the adding reliance on the Internet, Huttner( 2007) posited that without the Internet, aeroplanes would not fly, fiscal requests would not operate, supermarkets would not restock, levies would not get paid and the power grid would not balance the force and demand for electricity. Aqil and

Ahmad( 2011) averred that the Internet places information on our cutlet tips and that it’s far and wide, knocking at our door, making our life easy and smooth.

CHAPTER 1

Background Of The Study

The education sector was among those that first embraced the use of Internet, and it has continued to broaden the breadth and depth of openings within institutions of advanced literacy worldwide. The Internet serves as a useful tool in support of the colorful educational conditioning that ranged from exploration to tutoring. Anderson and Reed( 1998) noted that the Internet technology and computers has made it possible for scholars to be active learners and allowed preceptors to be facilitators. Jackson, etal.( 2011) remarked that the Internet will level the educational playing field due to its vacuity to everyone, far and wide, and any time, irrespective of gender, race/ race, income or other socio- demographic characteristics. therefore, the Internet is a vital tool that will propel University education to lesser heights as the world move further into the knowledge- grounded frugality.

Universities worldwide now invest a lot on intenet access because it reduces the time between the product and application of knowledge; improves co-operation and exchange of ideas with fellow experimenters in other institutions, regions or countries, furthers the sharing of information; and promotes multidisciplinary exploration. Bon( 2007) states that the Internet can substitute for precious hardcopy libraries, by serving scholars ’ access to scholarly information coffers. moment, survival in academics without the Internet is hardly imaginable. The Internet has set up useful operations in online data depositories, library canons, journals, news services, pupil and fiscal administration systems, online supported or solely online conducted tutoring, as well as in digital communication with fellow scholars and speakers. Other contemporary uses of Internet by scholars include purchasing, entertainment, and indeed dating. The disquisition of how the Internet fits into the diurnal life of staff and scholars at educational institutions is worthwhile when one considers the ubiquitous and all pervasive dispatches tool features of the Internet. Accordingly, studies have been carried out in numerous places to understand how University scholars use the Internet, the purposes for which the scholars use the Internet, the hunt machines used, their Internet chops as well as problems that hamper effective Internet use.

The Internet is veritably useful to university scholars and staff in Nigeria because it enables them to have access to timely, accurate and applicable information that can not be attained from library shelves. Chan and Fu( 2009) noted that Internet searching helps university scholars to boost their intellectual development and job medication. Due to the endless nature of information coffers on the Internet, libraries are decreasingly investing in provision of Internet services and coffers to enable their guests have better access to the information.

Lyon( 1998) states that Internet connections now constitute a largely visible service in every library and that the librarians and their guests have embraced it in their diurnal work. Academic libraries now run information knowledge courses to educate faculty members and scholars on chops to pierce, recoup and estimate information coffers from the Internet. Qunqing( 2004) appertained to the Internet as ‘ a large encyclopedia ’ or ‘ a library without walls ’ for its abundant information.

The exploration intends to assess the application of internet services among scholars of civil institution in kaduna state.
