Title A name given to the resource The usage of Electronic Databases in Academic Libraries in Ghana. The Experience of Ghana Communication Technology University Library (GCTUL) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Samuel Ameyaw, Frempong-Kore Afua Description An account of the resource This study examines the use of electronic databases (e-databases) by faculty members at the Ghana Communication Technology University Library (GCTUL). 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. This result should be a timely and relevant commodity for policymakers and stakeholders in private and public academic libraries.

Title A name given to the resource Dark tourism Exploring tourist's experience at the Cape Coast Castle, Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This paper investigates tourists' experience of the Cape Coast Castle in Ghana. Using a phenomenological research design, we explored the experiences of the tourist who visited the Castle. We used data from the Tripadvisor website and analyzed it thematically. The findings show that dark tourism experience is conceptualized from cognitive and emotional perspectives. Furthermore, the results show that tourists' experiences are shaped and co-constructed with the tourist guards and the artefacts available at the sites. Additionally, our results show tourists who visit dark tourist sites do not experience only anxiety and sorrow but excitement as well. The results also show that tourists who are of African descent see the Cape Coast Castle as a symbol of their identity and these tourists adopt the Castle as part of their personal identity. The implications of the findings are discussed at the end of the paper.

Cocoa bean flavour is one of the most important quality attributes as flavour is central to acceptability of cocoa beans and cocoa products such as chocolate. The complex composition of cocoa bean flavour depends on bean genotype, postharvest treatments such as pulp pre-conditioning, fermentation and drying, industrial processes such as roasting as well as the type of soil and age of cocoa tree. The bean genotype determines the chemical composition of the bean, specifically the contents of bean storage proteins, polysaccharides, and polyphenols. This determines the quantities and type of precursors formed during fermentation and drying processes leading to flavour formation, hence, influencing both … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Food research international Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Higher education strategic marketing and brand communications in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Strategic marketing of higher education encompasses the efforts made by tertiary or higher education institutions to develop a better understanding of the needs of their prospective customers in order to design products and services to meet and exceed these needs. These marketing activities of tertiary institutions should usually be carried out through the execution of purposeful conversations with all the university brand stakeholders, and this is the function of brand marketing communications. Brand marketing communications seeks to integrate multiple consumer contact points that occur through the purchase of commercial messages in paid, earned, and owned media to deliver persuasive and impactful statements about higher education brands. Persuasive brand communications is a critical pillar in the successful marketing efforts of universities worldwide, and this new edited book focuses on marketing and brand communication issues from an African perspective. This chapter introduces the coverage and contents of the book, highlighting the different themes and chapters.

Title A name given to the resource Resource Acquisition and the Role of Collection Development Policy in the Development of Ghana Communication Technology University Library Collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Benedicta Krampah Akoto Bitherman, Afua Frempong-Kore Description An account of the resource The study was carried out to ascertain the significance of collection development policy in some public academic libraries in Ghana with Ghana Communication Technology University as the case study. The study adopted a case study design and used a qualitative method in its examinations. A self-designed interview schedule was used to solicit information from the staff library. The study participants included the head librarian, deputy librarian and four (4) assistant librarians. The face-to-face interview method was used as a data collection instrument for this study–content analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that the university library has a CDP which is reviewed biennially. However, further findings revealed that even though CDPs exist in the library it does not feature much when it comes to acquisitions. It was recommended that management of the library should make a conscious effort to use the policy to guide acquisitions.

Title A name given to the resource Effects of particle size distribution and composition on rheological properties of dark chocolate Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler Description An account of the resource Control of chocolate viscosity is vital to its quality and production cost, and directly influenced by solids particle size distribution (PSD) and composition. Effects of PSD and composition on rheological properties of molten dark chocolate were investigated by varying PSD [D90 (90% finer than this size) of 18, 25, 35 and 50 μm], fat 25, 30 and 35% and lecithin (0.3 and 0.5%) using a shear rate-controlled rheometer. PSD, fat and lecithin content significantly affected all rheological parameters, with significant interaction among factors. Increasing particles size gave significant reductions in Casson plastic viscosity, Casson yield value, yield stress, apparent viscosity and thixotropy, with greatest effect with 25% fat and 0.3% lecithin, which reduced with increasing fat and lecithin contents. Statistical analysis revealed that fat exerts the greatest effect on the variability in all the rheological properties followed by PSD … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer-Verlag Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2008 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00217-007-0652-6 Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/7ea08feb8302d4cb7e0dc1f56a2af9cd.pdf 13cd06f13da0a05ea3b000e857198ca7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
