This opinion paper argues that effective security measures are not merely technical add-ons but core components of sustainable library management. While many libraries in developing contexts focus on acquiring ICT infrastructure, insufficient attention is paid to robust security protocols such as access control, authentication systems, data encryption, surveillance, and disaster recovery plans. The absence of these measures often results in breaches that compromise not only the integrity of library collections but also the users trust and institutional credibility. This paper contends that libraries should move beyond reactive security practices toward proactive, policy driven frameworks that integrate technological safeguards with user education. Furthermore, the sustainability of these measures depend on regular staff training and adequate funding support from university management. Strengthening security measures is, therefore, not an optional administrative function but a strategic imperative for ensuring the long-term viability and relevance of public university libraries in an increasing digital knowledge environment Sun, 28 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT http://irepo.futminna.edu.ng:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/30256 2025-09-28T00:00:00Z http://irepo.futminna.edu.ng:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/30255 Title: Innovative Technologies for Records Management in Ministries, Departments and Agency Libraries in Nigeira Authors: Abdulkarim, Goshie, R.W. M; Muhammed, Suleiman, H. R. Abstract: In the era of digital governance, effective records management is essential for transparency; accountability and efficient service delivery in public sector. With the increasing demand for open government and e- governance, ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) are under pressure to enhance their records management capabilities through the integration of digital innovations. To this effect MDAs, libraries are adopting technology driven systems to manage their records. This paper explained the different innovative technologies used by the libraries in MDAs to be; cloud computing technologies, artificial intelligence, electronic document and records and record management syyems (EDRMS), blockchain technologies, mobile technoogies, optical character recognition and scanning technology (OCR), redio frequency identification technology (RFID), institutional repositories and digital archives. This paper also highlights the key challenges facing the adoption of innovative technologies to records management in the libraries to be infrastructure and technical issues, inadequate funding and slow policy implementation. However, the way forward to this challenge is to provide adequate funds through budget allocation to the library, there should be provision of more infrastructures and regulatory bodies on records managements should endeavor to implement policies that will encourage effective records management using modern technology Sun, 28 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT http://irepo.futminna.edu.ng:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/30255 2025-09-28T00:00:00Z http://irepo.futminna.edu.ng:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/30207 Title: Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Initiatives for Academic Librarians in the Fifth Industrial Revolution: A Systematic Review Authors: Abubakar, Hussaini, Musa. F.; Shakarau, Ladan,D. M.I.; Abdulhamid, Goshie, R.W. Abstract: In Light of the extensive emergence of disruptive technologies that catalyze the fifth industrial revolution (5IR), academic libraries have experienced a significant transformation, which has concurrently altered the responsibilities of academic librarians. With the advent of disruptive technologies, library and information services are now accessible globally, contingent upon a users connection to the internet of Things. To remain pertinent within the context of 5IR, it is imperative for academic librarians to enhance their skill sets. The study posits that such skill enhancement can be achieved through continuous professional development. CPD initiatives encompass various formats, including workshops, both internal and external training programs, conferences, job shadowing, mentoring and focus groups. The methodological approach employed in this paper is an analytical review of the literature pertinent to CPD initiatives for academic librarians in the context of the fifth industrial revolution. To achieve these aims, the study employed a systematic Literature review (SLR) methodology. This involved a structured and transparent process of identifying, selecting, and synthesizing peer-reviewed literature relevant to CPD in the context of industry 5.0. Inclusion criteria focused on studies published between 2015 and 2024, specifically addressing CPD in academic libraries and technological competencies. After applying rigorous screening and eligibility criteria a total of 42 studies were selected from an initial pool of 146 academic sources. The paper dwell on continuous professional development (CPD) initiatives as a mechanism for academic librarians to engage with the fifth industrial revolution, key areas of CPD for academic librarians in industry 5.0, CPD initiatives for academic librarians in the fifth industrial revolution, types of knowledge and skills acquired by academic librarians in continuous professional development(CPD) in the era of the fifth industrial revolution, benefits for academic librarians in continuous professional development(CPD) in the fifth industrial revolution, challenges of academic librarians in continuous professionals development (CPD) to engage with the fifth industrial revolution, conclusion and recommendations were made on how to optimize the benefits of CPD for academic librarians in the 5IR Sun, 06 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT http://irepo.futminna.edu.ng:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/30207 2025-07-06T00:00:00Z http://irepo.futminna.edu.ng:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/30188 Title: Evaluation of security measures for sustainable information systems in public university libraries in Nigeria Authors: Garba, M.
