“…The cost of VR gear was shown to be the greatest hindrance, with a mean of 3.07. Although the cost of VR gear has decreased in recent years, it is still economically unfeasible for some Nigerians, whose minimum wage is US$71.66 (Adetayo et al , 2022; Yusuf, 2022). Follow to this hindrance is the fear of loss of privacy with a mean of 2.94.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine if students would patronize metaverse academic library (MAL) if it becomes available in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach This study used a descriptive survey research design. The population was made up of 1,037 undergraduate in Adeleke University. Descriptive statistic was used to analyse data. Findings Findings indicated most students have never used virtual reality (VR) equipment, they are eager to use MAL for virtual academic research, library user education, accessing circulation services, reading serials and contacting reference librarians. The study concluded that MAL would be patronised by students if it is made available and therefore recommends that greater effort be made to make VR gear accessible and cheap for developing nations such as Nigeria. Originality/value The study is novel as it contributes to scarce research on MAL.

“…The reference service is one of the services provided by libraries. Reference librarians provide reference services by instructing users how to use the library catalog to seek information resources on the library shelves, how to use online databases and how to apply the best information search technique for getting relevant and reliable information on the internet (Adetayo, 2021). In other words, reference librarians respond to inquiries from users.…”

Purpose The study aims to investigate the potential of artificial intelligence chatbots in academic libraries along with the dangers associated with the technology. Design/methodology/approach Literature were sourced from Google scholar and Scopus database-indexed journals to assess the potentials and drawbacks of using ChatGPT (generative pretrained transformer). Findings The study found that ChatGPT can aid with technical and reader services such as answering basic reference inquiries, navigating the library website and assisting with research, cataloguing, classification and collection development. However, due to the risk of inaccurate query responses, misuse, limited comprehension, input limitation and technological reliance, it should be a complementary technology rather than a replacement for human librarians. Originality/value To the best of the author’ knowledge, this is one of the first articles reviewing the potential of ChatGPT in academic libraries.

“…Most entrepreneurs have found it difficult because they are graduates from higher learning institutions and cannot afford the expense of the equipment available in the market. To start an infopreneurship business, you will need computers, printers, and routers for internet connectivity, smart phones, and photocopiers (Adetayo et al, 2022). However, these tools are costly, and many new entrepreneurs cannot afford to purchase them for business startups.…”

“…This is also true for other things, such as online services. In summary, they get compensated based on their performance (Adetayo et al, 2022; Puluhulawa et al, 2022). This suggests that LIS graduates are expected to be educated about this and to be able to use such talents to employ themselves and others provided the curriculum used included such topics.…”

In this study, the literature on the opportunities and challenges for infopreneurship was compiled using the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The study's specific goal was to look at the infopreneurship opportunities that are available and the obstacles that LIS graduates must overcome in order to take use of them. In a methodical manner, relevant research publications from journals were downloaded, reviewed, and interpreted. The researchers used numerous research strategies, such as keyword and phrase searches, to assure the precision of the study papers collected. Because basic phrase and key word searches produced substantial results, advanced search tactics like truncation and Boolean operators were not employed in this investigation. The researchers employed multiple databases, including emerald, research4life, Ebsco host, FullfreePDF, and Google scholar, with base search serving as the primary search engine. The study found out several opportunities that existed on infopreneurship, some of which include Internet blogging, software and hardware installation, graphic design, using information, customized information, facilitating access to information, repackaging information, increasing the flow of information, digitization and internetworking. The study further found a number of challenges that make it less likely for infopreneurs to seize and exploit these opportunities such as financial constraints, the price of necessary equipment, a lack of infrastructure, the legal registration process, graduates' lack of skills, and poor planning. The study concludes that information entrepreneurship is essential to any nation's economic sector. The study suggests that by reviewing LIS curricula we can increase student understanding of infopreneurship practice.
