Availability and Accessibility of Digital Record Keeping among University Administrators in Nigeria

The research work ascertains the availability and accessibility of digital records keeping among university administrators in Nigeria. To accomplish the survey's goal, two research inquiries were put forward, and two corresponding alternative hypotheses were developed to direct the investigation. A survey research approach was employed. The respondents consisted of 498 university administrators. The instrument used for the study was the Availability and Accessibility of Digital Record Keeping among University Administrators Questionnaire (AADRKUAQ). A trial test was carried out on 50 administrative staff at Ebonyi State University that yielded an overall reliability coefficient of 0.85. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions, and the t-test was equally used to test the research hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. According to the findings, digital record keeping is widely available and accessible. Whereas the alternate hypothesis revealed no significant difference in the extents of availability and accessibility of digital record keeping among gender, it was strongly recommended, along with many other things, that the school administration should embrace international standards for accessibility and availability of digital record keeping.   Received: 5 January 2024 / Accepted: 28 February 2024 / Published: xx March 2024
