The current study investigated how library and e-learning services can be integrated together
for improving teaching and learning in selected higher learning institutions in Tanzania.
Specifically the study identified electronic technologies and applications used for providing
library services; investigated how library applications and processes enhance access to
contents for e-learning; determined library services incorporated in e-learning; determined
how higher learning institutes in Tanzania support e-learning and; recommended on how
library and e-learning services can be better integrated for improving teaching and learning.
The study employed qualitative research approaches in determining how to integrate library
and e-learning services, it involved three Tanzanian public universities namely: Sokoine
University of Agriculture (SUA), Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences
(MUHAS) and the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). Data was collected through web
analysis, in-depth interviews and documentary reviews. Library directors/e-resources
librarians, Information Communication Technology directors/technicians were involved in
in-depth interviews. Findings indicate that the three institutions had the basic ICT
infrastructure for e-library services and e-learning and used Moodle learning management
systems. It is recommended that libraries should subscribe more e-resources and make them
accessible through the e-learning platform; universities should have strategies to improve the
ICT infrastructure from time to time depending on the demand and the increasing enrolment
rates. |
