Abstract
The study is on Installation of Solar energy and job performance of librarians in South-South University libraries, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design using questionnaire as instrument for data collection. The population of the study consists of six (6) university librarian’s s in the university libraries under study. A total of 6 questionnaires were distributed and retrieved. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics mean and percentage mean score of 2.5 and above and percentage score of 50% were considered. The study revealed that the following as benefits of installing solar energy in the university libraries in South-South, Nigeria as: It improves academic performance, it improves library services, it saves libraries from huge budget for fuel/diesel, it enhances university ranking and also improves job satisfaction. The study further affirmed that Solar installation helps in charging library gadgets , helps in printing , helps in lightening, helps in reading, and facilitates lCT application in libraries. The study recommends that The University library management should embrace the installation of Solar Energy system instead of using generators and diesel Plants. Also, the Federal Government of Nigeria should make education budget robust by increasing their intervention through TETFUND, by so doing university libraries can rely strongly on the acquisition of Solar Energy.
