Gender, power, and digital health inequities: A narrative review of barriers to digital health access among women in Lesotho
Balancing the merits and demerits of Artificial Intelligence in Human Resource Management
Many organisations have embraced Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Human Resource Management (HRM) to conform to technological and competitive trends. However, integrating AI without a proper understanding of its merits and demerits can impede the organization's ability to fully benefit from its advantages. A systematic review was conducted to assess the merits and demerits of AI adoption in Human Resource Management, thereby helping organisations …
A Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs): Functionalities, Challenges, and Best Practices
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly transformed teaching, learning, and research practices within higher education institutions (HEIs). Although a growing body of literature has examined the application of AI in higher education, existing studies remain fragmented, often focusing on isolated tools or outcomes, with limited synthesis of best practices, core functionalities, and implementation challe…
Institutional capacities for sustainable implementation of open-source assistive resources in academic libraries in a developing country
The study examines Open-Source Assistive Resources (OSAR) as viable accessibility solutions for patrons with visual impairments in selected academic libraries in Zimbabwe's Midlands Province. The study was guided by three research questions: (i) How are selected academic libraries in Zimbabwe's Midlands Province implementing OSAR for patrons with visual impairments? (ii) What factors influence the adoption of OSAR in these libraries? (iii) What i…
Stakeholders in the acquisition, preservation, and dissemination of indigenous knowledge projects
Indigenous knowledge preservation can lead to sustainable development and the protection of the environment, facilitating the achievement of one of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, number 15, which seeks to protect the sustainable use of ecosystems to avoid desertification and land degradation. This article reports on a study aimed at identifying the stakeholders to be involved in the acquisition, preservation, and dissemination…
Harnessing Indigenous Epistemologies for Sustainable Progress
Harnessing Data Analytics for Enhanced Public Programming in Archives and Museums: A Scoping Review
A notable lacuna exists in the extant research regarding the application of data analytics (DA) to augment public programming and cultivate robust connections between archives, museums, and their constituent communities. This scoping review aimed to address this gap by mapping the available literature at the intersection of data analytics, archives, and museums. Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses ex…
Barriers impeding research data sharing on chronic disease prevention among the older adults in low-and middle-income countries: A systematic review
Optimising Data Analytics to Enhance Postgraduate Student Academic Achievement: A Systematic Review
This systematic review investigated how Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) optimise data analytics in postgraduate programmes to enhance student achievement. Existing research explores the theoretical benefits of data analytics but lacks practical guidance on strategies to effectively implement and utilise data analytics for student success. As such, this review aimed to identify data analytics approaches used by HEIs and explore challenges and…
Factors influencing the use of e-library resources by postgraduate engineering students at Kyambogo University in Uganda
The aim of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the use of e-library resources among postgraduate engineering students at Kyambogo University in Uganda to make suggestions on how to improve access to and use of e-library resources. The study adopted a survey research design to collect data from postgraduate engineering students. Following a census sampling strategy, data was obtained from 58 out of 80 registered postgraduate engi…
Implications of policies on the use of social networking sites for knowledge sharing: Experiences from postgraduate students in higher education institutions in Tanzania
Like elsewhere in the world, students' use of social networking sites (SNSs) in higher education institutions in Tanzania has dramatically increased in recent years – something which has called for policies and guidelines to guide its proper usage. This study examined the effects of policies on the use of SNSs on postgraduate knowledge sharing in the four northern Tanzanian higher education institutions that were chosen for the study. The purpose…
A framework for knowledge sharing in the art world in Zimbabwe
Knowledge sharing is a key facilitator of access and use of conventional knowledge in art mediation during engagement processes in the production, distribution and consumption of legitimate artworks in the art world. This study sought to ascertain the dynamics of knowledge sharing during artistic engagements in indigenous communities of practice. The study followed a phenomenology of practice research strategy. Data was collected through in-depth…
Zimbabwe's central government: Framework for use and management of email
This research on use and management of email in Zimbabwe's central government revealed a number of shortfalls in the manner official email were used and managed. Lapses in the application of the legal, policy and procedural frameworks coupled with email skills deficiencies and use of inappropriate information and communication technologies resulted in poor management of email. A lot of official emails were lost, fragmented, inappropriately dispos…
Exploring models for the management of indigenous knowledge in academic libraries of Ghana
The need to manage indigenous knowledge (IK) as a key knowledge base of society has become vital in the era of information society. The lack of representation of IK is partly blamed on its exclusion from academia because IK is not primarily the core focus of academic library's collection. The study sought to explore existing models and develop a framework for the management of indigenous knowledge in academic libraries in Ghana. The qualitative m…

Key threats and challenges to the preservation of digital records of public institutions in Ghana
The rapid pace with which technology is changing continues to pose a perpetual threat to digital preservation. Although initiatives in digital preservation in Europe, North America, Asia and sporadic attempts in Africa appear to have yielded some level of progress, permanent access to information and longevity of digital records continue to be a problem. Whilst Africa’s contribution to the growth of digital records may be insignificant, it is gro…
Evaluation of the implementation of electronic government in Ghana
Poverty and lack of access to technology continues to pose a perpetual threat to Africa's e-government implementation program. While significant progress in e-government has been chalked, huge disparities remain within and among African countries. This study examines the implementation progress of e-government in Ghana's ministries and agencies. Based on Gartner's maturity stage of e-government, underpinned by a quantitative approach, surveys wer…
