AbstractMzuzu University Library provides various e-library services to postgraduate students. However, little is known regarding the use of these e-library services by postgraduate students. This mixed methods quantitative study aimed to investigate postgraduate students' use of e-library services. The findings reveal that 95% of postgraduate students knew about e-library services. In comparison, 83% knew internet access, and 73% knew e-journals service from 10 e-library services that Mzuzu University offers. Further, 80% and 64% of postgraduate students used the internet and e-journals, respectively, while other e-library services were the least used. Additionally, 68% of users were satisfied with the internet, and 64% were confident with e-journals. Factors such as usefulness, availability of support, and resources influenced postgraduate students' use of e-library services. Inadequate infrastructure and staff support discouraged some users from effectively using e-library services. Training and marketing are highly recommended.Keywords: E-library servicespostgraduate studentsMzuzu UniversityMalawiDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Abstract Open Access Repositories (OARs) are viewed as a new channel of scholarly communication and a way for scholars to disseminate their work faster to a broader audience. Finding a solution to low faculty participation in OARs is an intricate task that requires a deeper understanding of faculty perceptions of OARs. Previous studies have investigated the motivating and hindering factors using different forms of surveys that focussed on external factors, which were either social or technological in context. The goal of this qualitative study was to provide an understanding of the psychology of the faculty reluctance towards their participation in OARs. The results reveal that while close to half of the faculty support the OA principles and are willing to share their work in Open Access (OA), a little over half of faculty seem to be unfamiliar with the OA goals and the purpose of OARs. In addition, faculty comments reveal a wide range of perceived concerns regarding OARs, from submission process, plagiarism, and copyright concerns to the perception of OARs as low-quality publishing venues that can have a negative impact on their academic careers. Thus, to better address faculty needs and concerns, it is crucial for OAR staff to take a multifaceted approach, targeting each faculty concern independently.

Abstract Student diversity in the classroom and on campuses is increasing. As librarians prepare to visit classrooms for single instruction sessions, it is important to account for global perspectives present in those environments as well as in the information that students use in their courses. This article presents a case study based on two workshops (one conducted locally and one at a conference) of ways to modify library instruction materials and intentionally plan for broader audiences. Techniques from the workshops, based on inclusive and global diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, are presented. Librarians, by planning intentionally and developing globally inclusive practices as instructors, will help students successfully scaffold information literacy techniques into their global information environment.
