Title: A Comparative Analysis of Academic Staff’s Job Performance between Private and Public Universities in Tanzania
Authors: Ngalomba, Simon Peter
Abstract: This study investigates the academic performance of the academic staff in Tanzania’s private
and public universities in the areas of teaching and research activities. The study aims to prove
that there are differences between the two types of universities. An independent-sample t-test
approach was employed to measure those differences. The study revealed that there are
statistically significant differences between the performance in the two types of universities in
terms of the number of research projects, the number of academic publications in international level
peer-reviewed journals, the number of presentations at international-level academic
conferences and the number of academic books published. But with respect to the number of
postgraduate students under academic supervision, the extent of teaching workloads, expressed
in terms of subject units, the number of academic publications in national-level journals and the
number of presentations at national-level conferences there are no significant differences.2013-08-01T00:00:00ZA Comparative Analysis of Academic Staff’s Job Performance between Private and Public Universities in Tanzania

Title: Marketing of Electronic Information Resources (EIRs) in Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) in Ethiopia
Authors: Mammo, Wondimeneh (Asst. Prof.)
Abstract: This research was conducted to investigate the available marketing strategy in the light of
increasing the awareness and uptake of Electronic Information Resources (EIRs) by users of
PHEIs that are registered in Program for the Enhancement of Research Information (PERI). In
an attempt to achieve the research objective, such research questions as “what marketing
approaches are used by the libraries to promote the existence of EIRs in the institutions
surveyed?”; “are there enabling infrastructures that assist the marketing of EIRs?”; “how do
institutional libraries rate the level of support from the top management in their effort to market
EIRs?”; “as part of marketing strategies, do institutions link up EIRS with courses in their
graduate programs?” and “are there adequate human resource capacities to handle the
marketing of EIRs?” were considered. The targeted institutions for the research were St. Mary’s
University College (SMUC) and Alpha University College as they were PHEIs that are the only
ones currently registered in PERI and delivering postgraduate program education. Survey
research methodology was used and review of PERI system and publisher databases to map the
contents against the graduates programs were made. Major findings of the study revealed that
marketing using electronic communication, physical medium, human interaction and using
training are practiced in the surveyed institutions, there is adequate infrastructure in SMUC to
market EIRs, level of support from the top management towards marketing of EIRs is minimal in
the surveyed institutions and the available human resource is adequate to handle marketing of
EIRs generally. It was also concluded that there are positive developments in the marketing of
EIRs in the surveyed institutions in the light of maintaining quality in graduate program and
research endeavors. Based on the major findings, it was recommended that efforts must be made
by PHEIs to integrate marketing of EIRS as part of collection development policy; as part of
handling marketing using electronic communication, institutions must strengthen their effort and
incorporate utilization of web 2.0; top management must be one of the prime champion in the
institutional efforts to market EIRs to maintain quality in graduate program and research;
existing effort in AUC in linking up EIRs and graduate programs must be strengthened and
SMUC and other PHEIs must also follow suit and Capacity building schemes endeavors must be
designed by such stakeholders as Consortium of PHEIs and Consortium of Academic and
Research Libraries (CEARL) to enable librarians engage themselves in aggressive marketing of
EIRs.2013-08-01T00:00:00Z
