“…Table 2 shows that the majority (43; 65%) of the scholars accessed the internet from their offices, twenty (30%) from home and three (5%) at the library. The preferred location for accessing the internet reported by scholars in this study is the same as what has been reported in other studies (Hadagali & Kumbar 2011, Jayaprakash 2017, Korobili, Tilikidou & Delistavrou 2006 where it was found that more scholars access ELRs from their offices than in libraries. Lack of special computer areas in the library and greater comfort in their offices might be why scholars are not using library computers.…”

“…However, twenty (13%) of the postgraduate students indicated that they had never accessed ELRs provided by the university. Hadagali and Kumbar (2011) noted that scholars at Karnataka State accessed ELRs provided by the university library. Likewise, Sonkar, Singh and Kumar (2014) noted access and use of ELRs by scholars and postgraduate students at Banaras Hindu University.…”

This study examined access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) and use of electronic library resources (ELRs) in a rural university, against the backdrop of ongoing changes in the way people access information. It aimed to investigate access to ICTs and use of ELRs at the University of Venda (UNIVEN) in South Africa. A quantitative research approach with a survey research design was adopted to collect data. Stratified sampling techniques were employed to select the sample consisting of fortyfive scholars and 150 postgraduate students. The findings revealed that UNIVEN scholars and postgraduate students have access to the prerequisite infrastructure and technology for accessing ELRs. Likewise, the study found that scholars and postgraduate students at UNIVEN have regular access to the internet. The study recommends that UNIVEN library provides research commons for scholars and postgraduate students within the library building.

Pourquoi des professeurs de l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique de l’Ouest s’approprient-ils les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC)? Cette question est abordée à travers une interprétation socioculturelle d’itinéraires de six professeurs. Les résultats montrent l’intégration active et progressive des TIC dans la pratique pédagogique, entre autres, par la mise en ligne des cours et l’interaction à distance avec les étudiants. Ils mettent aussi en lumière des aspirations plus profondes comme la participation africaine au monde scientifique et la transformation des relations humaines et de la culture. Dans le processus d’appropriation, les professeurs sont amenés à remettre en question leurs approches pédagogiques, à franchir des frontières entre différents univers de traditions et connaissances et à proposer de nouvelles approches d’apprentissage, de production des savoirs et de construction de l’identité africaine. Ces résultats contextualisés viennent en complément de ceux sur l’utilisation des TIC à l’université et fournissent une base épistémologique pour l’intégration des TIC dans l’éducation en Afrique.Why do teachers of higher education in West Africa appropriate information and communications technology (ICT)? This question is addressed through a sociocultural interpretation of ICT itineraries of six professors. The results show the active and progressive integration of ICT in teaching, for example via online courses and remote interaction with students. They also reveal deeper aspirations such as enhanced African participation in scholarly production and the transformation of human relations and culture. In the process of appropriation, teachers question their pedagogical approaches, cross the boundaries between different worlds and traditions of knowledge, and propose new approaches to learning, knowledge production and the construction of African identities. These contextualized results are in addition to those on the use of ICT in higher education and provide an epistemological basis for the integration of ICT in education in Africa
