Abstract
The thesis titled "Status of ICT Use in School Libraries" aims to assess the
status of ICT implementation in school libraries and propose pedagogical
implications based on the findings of this study. For this, the literature related
to ICT use in education, specifically libraries was reviewed. As a quantitative
survey research, questionnaires and an observation checklist were used to
collect data from 20 selected school library staff. Likewise, SPSS was utilized
for data framing and analysis.
On the basis of the questionnaire and observation, the main findings indicate
that most schools have limited only one computer (45%) and e-library
connections (60%) within the last one to three years. However, all respondents
(100%) do not use personal mobile phones for e-library management, the
majority of respondents find using the e-library easy (95%), and physical
libraries coexist with e-libraries (100%). Nevertheless, e-libraries lack e borrowing systems for students (95%). Most students (85%) and teachers
(75%) are content with ICT use, while non-teaching staff (95%) had limited
responses.
Along with the findings of the study, some recommendations were made for
the further improvement of the status of ICT use in the libraries in the schools.
More importantly, it is recommended to include policy changes to maximize
technology in the library system and conduct further studies related to ICT use
in school libraries at large scale of data and areas.
