Notes agencies are now interested in the general development of ICT in Nigerian universities.
The Federal Ministry of Education embarked on the establishment of the National Virtual
(Digital) Library Project, to provide, in an equitable and cost-effective manner, enhanced
access to national and international library and information resources and to share locally
available resources with libraries all over the world using digital technology; among
other objectives. A model Virtual (Digital) Library at the National Universities Commission
(NUC) will be the laboratory of the university – based libraries.

11.5 Summary

Report is a summary of findings and recommendations about a particular matter/problem.
An effective report presents and analyses facts and evidence that are relevant to the specific
problem or issue of the report brief.

Most writers imagine that their report will be the major event in the reader’s day, when,
in reality, the poor fellow is awash with reading matter, drowning in facts, figures, and
opinions.

Most reports interpret the information gathered.
The summary should briefly describe the content of the report. It should cover the aims of
the report, what was found and what, if any, action is called for.
The contents page should list the different chapters and/or headings together with the
page numbers.
Information under this heading may include: a list of equipment used; explanations of
procedures followed; relevant information on materials used, including sources of materials
and details of any necessary preparation; reference to any problems encountered and
subsequent changes in procedure.

The key to writing an effective report is to allocate time for planning and preparation.
It is useful to provide an alphabetical list of technical terms with a brief, clear description
of each term.

The facts and evidence you have gathered should be analysed and discussed with specific
