This paper discussed motivation, some theories of motivation and motivation of library personnel. The most important aspect of any organization is its workforce. Motivation arouses, energizes, influences and sustains behaviour and performance of employees. Motivating factors include extrinsic factors which pertain to the conditions under which a job is performed and intrinsic motivators which contribute to job satisfaction and subsequently increase productivity. Two levels of motivation were identified in the library: the need-factor motivation and the profession-related motivation. Need-factor motivation is well-pronounced in the lower cadre of library staff such as library assistants, clerical staff, and porters who set their priority on economic needs. The profession-related motivation occurs among professionally trained librarians whose motivation hinges self-fulfillment derived from professional growth and development. Other motivating factor in the library is job design which includes job rotation, job enlargement, and job enrichment. Job design specifies the contents or methods of any job in such a way that various requirements of a job can be effectively satisfied. Adequate motivation of library employees lies with the managers because they generally control work distribution, freedom and autonomy, work challenge Remove, staff development and training, and advancement opportunities. The managers are urged to create enabling environment to ensure improved commitment, satisfaction, and productivity of employees in the library.

The intricacies of web development have orchestrated a paradigm shift in academic libraries. The study explored literature on the status of automation of academic libraries and web development in Nigeria. It was established that the functions of library management software are abysmally under-utilized in academic libraries in Nigeria, thus, progression of automation projects remain a swinging pendulum. The paper, therefore, recommends that librarians should acquire the relevant training and plan strategically for all automation projects aimed at incorporating the intricacies of the web and ICTs into library services to fully utilize the functions of the library management systems in line with web developmental stages, thus, be able to compete globally.

This study adopted the descriptive survey research method. The population of this study comprised of the hearing impaired students in selected government secondary schools in Rivers state. The population of hearing impaired students in Rivers State is 257. A simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 159. A self-developed instrument titled "Availability and Utilization of Library Information Resources Questionnaire (AULIRQ)" was utilized for data collection. 153 responses were collated, indicating a 96.2% response rate. The data collected was arranged and analyzed using frequency count, percentages, and mean and standard deviation. Finding reveals that information resources in the libraries understudied were inadequate and under-utilized. Also, it was established that among other barriers, under-funding is a major barrier to making information resources available for the physically challenged. It was recommended that schools offering special education for the hearing impaired should pace up in their developmental gap by providing such resources and ensure adequate funding by all stakeholders.

This study examines the use of electronic databases (e-databases) by faculty members of the Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU). The study used a descriptive research method. Copies of the questionnaire were used for the data collection. Due to the manageable population, no sampling method was used in this study. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS 21.0) was used for data analysis. The results showed that most faculty members were aware of the availability of databases in the library. Additionally, the findings established that Emerald, as well as Taylor and Francis, were ranked highly in terms of availability and accessibility. The study identified problems such as difficulty in downloading information as well as poor internet connectivity. Based on the results, the study recommended that library management should address all the challenges that users encounter as soon as possible.

Escherichia coli 의 superoxide 라디칼 유도발현성 유전자의 탐색을 위하여 먼저 superoxide 라디칼에 의하여 발현이 유도되는 프로모터를 탐색하였다. 이를 위햐여, 프로모터 탐색벡터인 pJAC4 를 이용하여 E. coli MG1655 균주로부터 프로모터 library 를 구성하였다. Ampicillin 농도구 배정판법을 이용하여 프로모터 세기가 다른 클론들을 구별하여 프로모터 세기가 약한 것부터 중간정도까지 383개의 클론을 선별하였다. 이들 프로모터 클론들의 superoxide 라디칼 유도발현성을 paraquat 를 첨가한 ampicilin 농도구배평판에서 조사하였다. 이중 3개의 클론이 paraquat 에 의하여 유도됨을 확인하였고, 유도배율은 1.4-4배 정도이었다. 이들 프로모터의 염기서열을 결정한 결과 기종의 database 에 등록되어 있는 E. coli 염기서열들과는 다른 새로운 유전자임을 알았다. 이들 프로모터에 대하여 primer 연장법과 SS1 뉴클리아제 분석을 총하여 전사개시 자리를 결정하였고, paraquat 처리시 mRNA 의 양이 증가함을 관찰하였다. 특히 클론5의 경우는 두개의 전사개시 위치를 가지고 있으며, paraquat 처리시 상위 부분의 전사개시자리가 성택적으로 사용됨을 알 수 있었다. 프로모터 서열을 검색한 결과, RNA 중합효소($E\sigma^{70}$)에 의햐여 인지되는 -10과 -35부위를 가진 클론은 클론 5 뿐이었고, 나머지는 보존된 염기서열을 찾을 수 없었다. 이는 이들 프로모터들이 독특한 부류에 속하는 종류들로서, 새로운 전사조절인자를 요구할 가능성을 시사한다.

대학도서관에서 경험이 많은 선배사서인 멘토와 경험이 없거나 부족한 후배사서인 멘티를 위하여 멘토링을 시행한다면 그에 대한 호응도는 어떠하며, 원하는 멘토링은 어떠한 형태인지를 분석해 보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 문헌조사와 함께 P대학 도서관 사서들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 멘토링에 참여할 의사는 비교적 높았으며, 관심주제는 직장생활에 대한 조언과 상담이 가장 높았고, 멘토와 멘티의 매칭은 도서관에서 구성한 위원회나 멘티가 선정하기를 희망하는 것으로 나타났다. 또 멘토링에 참여하는 파트너의 가장 중요한 조건은 업무능력이라고 하였으며, 멘토와 멘티의 매칭은 1:1을 선호하였고, 멘토링 기간은 1년 이하가 적당하다고 하였다. 위와 같이 대부분의 사서가 개개인의 전문성 개발 및 자기학습 기회를 위하여 멘토링 참여의사를 밝혔으므로 대학도서관에서도 멘토링에 대하여 적극적인 홍보와 다양한 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것이다.

On admet Jusqu'ici que le XVe siecle est une $\acute{e}poque$ phare de l'histoire de l'imprimerie avec l'apparition de la typographie en Orient et en Occident, $c'est-\acute{a}-dire$ en $Cor\acute{e}e$ sur le Rhim. Cependant, $l'\acute{e}poque$ de l'invention typographique en $Cor\acute{e}e$ doit $\hat{e}tre$ $devanc\acute{e}e$ encore d'un ou deux siecle. Outre cette question, il est $\acute{a}$ noter ici que les caracteres mobiles $m\acute{e}talliques$ Kyemi, fondus en 1403, ont $jou\acute{e}$ un $r\hat{o}le$ $tr\acute{e}s$ important dans l'histoire de la typographie mondiale et que les $caract\acute{e}res$ kabin qui leur $succ\acute{e}derent$ en 1434 menerent la typographie $cor\acute{e}enne$ a son $apog\acute{e}e$. Or, les recherches $cor\acute{e}ennes$ se satifait de la primaute de l'invention en Coree des caracteres mobiles metalliques, mais n'adoptent pas une attitude suffisament critique. Aussi, l'auteur a-toil voulu s'interroger sur la veritable valeur de la typographie de la dynastie de Choson tant au point de vue de l'histoire de l'imprimerie mondiale. En premier lieu, on etudie, comme une chronique, les caracteres mobiles metalliques importants tout au long de la dynastie de Choson sans donner une interpretation nouvelle. C'est dans deux derniers, qu'on essaie de developper ses idees sur la typographie en Coree notamment la question technologique qui devrait etre le fond des recherches. Aussi, on y etudie, la technique de la typographie ancienne en Coree interpretee selon une methode scientifique et moderne et, enfin, le bilan synthetique en cherchant les raisons qui freinerent son developpement en Coree malgre la performance de ses debuts. A l'issue de ces recherches, on ne peut s'empecher d'eprouver une certaine insatisfaction a cause de l'ambiguite des explications que l'on trouve dans des documents fondamentaux. Avec ce difficulte on a voulu, au moins, exposer des points discutatables qui devraient etre les recherches a futur.

This study investigated the use of e-journals by health researchers in the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR). A descriptive survey method was adopted for the study and a questionnaire was used for data collection. The study population was comprised of fifty-four (54) respondents who are health researchers in the institute. The data collected were presented and analyzed using tables, frequency distribution, simple percentages, and charts. The result of the study revealed that all the respondents are aware of the availability of e-journals and attest to making use of them. The study revealed that electronic journals were mostly used for the purpose of conducting research work and the PDF format was preferred for downloading e-journals. However, it was observed that low Internet connectivity and intermittent electricity supply constitute a major obstacle to the use of e-journals. The study, therefore, recommended that the institute's management invest more resources on network connectivity, particularly its bandwidth, and ensure reliable power supply.
