Title A name given to the resource The Use of Collections and Services of Academic Libraries in Ghana: A Case Study of Ghana Communication Technology University, Accra, Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Afua Frempong-Kore, Benedicta Krampah Akoto Bitherman Description An account of the resource An academic library is established in an institution of higher learning to provide services that will meet the information needs of students, lecturers, researchers and the entire academic community. The use of the library and its resources by the students of the institution is therefore a must for both faculty and students if academic work would go on successfully. This study examines the extent of use of library resources in Ghana Communication Technology University, Accra, Ghana. Two separate questionnaires were used to gather data. 400 registered library users were selected using the stratified random sampling technique. The findings revealed that 46.87% of the students sampled visited the library to read for examination while most faculty members visited the library to consult journals, electronic or print resources and to read newspapers. Also, students used the online catalogue to locate materials more than faculty. It was recommended that faculty give reading assignments that will require students to consult journals and other resources in the library, not just for examination purposes. The library should also embark on aggressive awareness creation on regular basis to showcase the various resources available in the library.

Title A name given to the resource THE VALUATION OF STUDENT ENTREPRENEURS AND THEIR BUSINESS PLANS USING FACTOR ANALYSIS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Kong Yusheng, Chosniel Elikem Ocloo, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Patrick Obeng Danso Description An account of the resource This work analyzes investor assessment of students’ business plan, with the hope of boosting their confidence level as they venture into business. The main goal of this study is to prove if investor support programs can assist students to get requisite know-how in becoming entrepreneurs, such that they could be great business tycoons after school. Conscientiousness or due diligence in entrepreneurship could be an approach of a modernday investor to increase the confidence level of entrepreneurs being groomed in universities by identifying entrepreneurial skills in students and mentoring them. This forms a part of the investors’ strategy to make use of internal resources and skills, as well as opportunities and risks created by its external environment in venturing into a business. The entrepreneur is usually seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas, resources and business dealings. Identifying business opportunities, self-confidence and seed capital were found to be the most important attributes in motivating students to start a new venture. The authors of this study performed this kind of research using Factor Analysis.

Title A name given to the resource The viability of E-textbooks in developing countries: Ghanaian university students' perceptions Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource As higher education institutions the world over are gradually transitioning to e-textbooks, this study explored Ghanaian undergraduate students’ awareness, experiences and perceptions of e-books, particularly with regard to their acceptance of e-textbooks as eventual replacements of physical textbooks. A total of 253 undergraduate students at a private university in Ghana participated in the study by responding to paper-based questionnaires administered over a four-week period. Analysing data with simple descriptive statistics and content analysis, the findings reveal that students generally have a fair idea of what e-books are, and also acknowledge the potential benefits of e-textbooks. However, a significant number do not presently use e-books. On the whole, students are strongly averse to using e-books and other Internet-based electronic resources in place of physical books for academic purposes.

Title A name given to the resource The Youth And Rituals In Post-Conflict Rebuilding: The Psychosocial Dimension Of Post-Conflict Rebuilding In The Kpandai District In Contemporary Times Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Sulemana Iddrisu, Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari Description An account of the resource Northern Ghana has gone through decades of inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic conflicts since the 1980s. The present-day Kpandai District was ravaged by an inter-ethnic conflict in 1991/1992, between the Nawuri/Nchumuru and the Gonja, over allodial rights. In both the physical confrontations and rebuilding processes, the youth and rituals played critical roles. However, there is hardly any systematic analysis of the role of the youth and rituals in the post-conflict rebuilding scheme in the Kpandai District. This paper analyzes the roles played by traditional rituals and the Nawuri youth (Nawuri Professionals’ Association, NPA) in post-conflict rebuilding schemes in Kpandai. Using the traditional historical method of reconstructing a narrative from primary and secondary sources, this paper examines the psychosocial dimension and underlines the place of local resources in post-conflict rebuilding in the Kpandai District in the Northern Region of Ghana. It uses the Nawuri Professionals’ Association (NPA)–a youth group of the Nawuri–as a case study. The paper argues that the youth and the use of rituals as psychosocial factors serve as effective variables for post-conflict rebuilding of Nawuri society in the Kpandai District.

Title A name given to the resource Theory of capital structure decision: Overview of the banking industry Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peter Yao Lartey, Santosh Rupa Jaladi, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The relevance of capital structure decision in the banking sector is documented in this paper. It contributes to existing literature in a review of previous empirical studies and fundamental theories of capital structure. The study underscored the factors influencing the choice of funding in connection with the market timing theories such as Pecking Order theory and the trade-of-theory. Our investigation suggest that, the choice of capital vary across sectors and industries on the basis of business risks, corporate governance, profitability, internal controls, and efficiency. The study observed that most empirical researchers universally endorsed asset structure, industry volatility, corporate taxes and firm growth as strong determinants of capital structure. The above issues may either improve the solvency position of a form or trigger major financial distress depending on the source of capital.

Title A name given to the resource ThePerceived Utility and University Enrolment IntentioninIndonesia: StudentsPerspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This study investigates the difference between the utility of general higher education (GHE) and Islamic higher education (IHE),students' enrolment intention, and their correlation. Data werecollected using questionnaires. The participantsof this study were 753 students in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.Researchers used convenience and snowballing sampling techniques. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Spearman'scorrelation. This study proves that the level of utility and all its factors (economic and non-economic benefit, probability ofsuccess, and cost) differ significantly between GHE and IHE(Sig0.05). Moreover, it was found that all factors correlate with enrolment intention(Sig0.05).However, correlation coefficients indicate that the costof GHE and IHE is the factor with the weakest correlation (p=0,139andp=0.084) with enrolment intention. The strongest correlation with enrolment intention is the utilityof GHE and IHE(p=0,597and p=0.579)and the possibility of success in GHE and IHE(p=0,614 and p=0.530).

Panel data extracted from the audited annual reports of 15 listed non-financial firms for the period 2008 to 2017 was used for the study. In the study, financial performance of the firms was measured through Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), whilst the Current Ratio (CR), Quick Ratio (QR) and the Cash Flow Ratio (CFR) were used to proxy liquidity. The study adopted the descriptive and inferential techniques of data analyses.
