Digital literacy of library and information science postgraduates and ubiquitous learning in state owned universities, south-south, Nigeria

Summary/Abstract: The study investigated digital literacy of library and information science postgrad-uate students and ubiquitous learning in state universities in south-South, Nigeria. Four (4)objectives, four research questions, and four hypotheses guided the study. The hypotheseswere tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlational design andthe population was 221 comprising library and information science postgraduate studentsfrom eight (8) state universities in South-South, Nigeria. The census sampling techniquewas used to select the entire population of 221 which represents the sample size. Instru-ment titled “Digital Literacy of Library and Information Science Postgraduate Students andUbiquitous Learning Questionnaire” (DLLISPSULQ) was used for data collection. The reli-ability of the instrument was established through test-retest methods and was determinedusing Cronbach Alpha method which yielded reliability coefficient of 0.89. The study wasanalyzed using mean and standard deviation for research questions and Pearson ProductMoment Correlation for hypotheses. It was revealed that there was a significant relation-ship between digital literacy of LIS postgraduate students and ubiquitous learning in stateuniversities in South-South, Nigeria. It was recommended that Library and Information Sci-ence schools in South-South, Nigeria should as a matter of policy direct all LIS educators toadopt the use of ubiquitous technologies in teaching to enhance the adoption of ubiquitouslearning by Postgraduate students.
