Public Library Services to Children in the United Arab Emirates—A Study Natarajan Sundar, N. Radhakrishnan, Mohammad Khaled Issa Al-Shboul Advances in Science Technology and Innovation, 2019 It is important to establish children libraries for children in any country and encourage them to promote reading habits and help them to develop their talents. Keeping that in mind, all the public libraries including Dubai Public Libraries, Sharjah Public libraries, MCYCD (Ministry of Culture, Youth and Community Development), and National Library have been developed children’s library and dedicated to children ages between 3 and 16 in United Arab Emirates (UAE.). Other than the common services of borrowing and reference services, children libraries provide a range of activities which include storytelling, audio video materials, drawing competitions, cultural competitions, seminars, lectures and offering special services for disabled children. This paper aims to identify the development and services offered towards children in public libraries in UAE.
Humanities Scholar Information-Seeking Behavior: Quantitative Approach Mohammad Khaled Al Shboul, Othman A. Obeidat, Natarajan Sundar Advances in Science Technology and Innovation, 2019 This study aims to investigate the humanities scholars’ information needs and behavior in an ICT environment as a case study at Yarmouk University, Jordan. Earlier researches showed that humanities scholars have an incompatible relationship with ICT use even despite their significant use of library facilities compared to other scholars. Not to mention, the lack of up-to-date studies, which considers the significant acceleration in ICT infrastructure and the emerging digital environment. However, the main objectives are to (a) understand humanities scholar’s behavior and their information need in an ICT environment (b) identify the barriers they encountered, the study employed survey questionnaire method. 280 Academic staff from four faculties of humanities were sampled and selected. Responses were received from 161 academician’s staff members. The finding indicated that the humanities scholars possessed various level of awareness in the availability of sources and services of information in their field of subject interest. Besides, they showed different motivations in in-formation-seeking which were influenced by the usage of appropriate format and preference languages. It was also discovered that barriers in information-seeking such as limited of library resources, inconvenient of university environment and personal incompetency had affect their information-seeking satisfaction. They overcame the barriers through personal experience and technological literacy. Lastly, the findings can greatly assist the library in facilitating the needed re-sources and services which could ease the information-seeking behavior. It also can increase the level of satisfaction among the library users particularly the electronic resources and services.
