چکیده
The survey investigated and appraised the use of internet among academic staff members of Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji Arakeji, Osun State, Nigeria. Pre-tested structured questionnaires were administered to sixty randomly selected respondents; fifty six were appropriately filled and were used for analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed a greater percentage of male (83.9%) among the academic staff members. In addition, 7.1%, 8.9%, 12.5%, 12.5%, 21.4% and 32.1% were Professor, Reader, Senior Lecturer, Lecturer I, Lecturer II and Assistant Lecturer respectively. Majority (80.4%) of them had access to the net with minimum of three years exposure to it. However, the mostly acclaimed means of surfing the net was through their own personal computers (66.1%) and the mostly sought information was on research and academic materials. More than four out of every five academic staff members indicated research and academic materials as the reason for surfing the net. The rating result gotten from summation of weighted values (SWV) also buttressed this point. The study concluded that the use of internet had greatly enhanced and contributed to effective, efficient and high performance level of academic staff members in the university.
