<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">In recent times some publishers are intensively exploiting the model of open access publishing. During <span style="word-spacing: -1px;">the last several years, studies have shown that there was a substantial increase in the number of fake </span>publishers
and hijacked journals. These cyber criminals make money by stealing the
identities of legitimate journals and collecting the article processing
charges on the papers that are submitted. This is all <span style="word-spacing: -1px;">accomplished by a well-developed framework that includes web development steps, intensive e-mail </span><span style="word-spacing: -1px;">marketing and victim selections.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fake
publishers and impact factors (IF) indicate an urgent need to evaluate
the methods that are currently used to assess academic research. Doing a
thorough retrospective assessment of journals and publishers is
definitely an urgent need in today’s academic world. Also, if an author
is considering publishing a research work in a scientific journal that is
characterized as “reputable journal” there are few crucial things to
consider following the pre-submission process such as: </span></div>
<ul>
<li style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Have any of the colleagues from authors respective institution read, reviewed or published in that specific scientific journal?</span></li>
<li style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Where is the journal indexed? Can it be found via databases which stands
as usual tool to access, use or find specific scientific information?</span></li>
<li style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Is it associated with a scholarly society familiar to the author?</span></li>
<li style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Are there any reliable metrics associated with the journal (traditional or alternative)?</span></li>
<li style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Who is the editor? Who is on the editorial board? <span style="letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">Are the members of the editorial board familiar to </span>the author itself? Is there any available information about them?</span><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></li>

<br />
Researchers, faculty staff and information
professionals at the Kumasi Polytechnic are slowly turning to web 2.0/social media to
support their networking activities and for accessing and disseminating
information more effectively. The use of web 2.0/social media requires
new knowledge and skills and for the past two days, I have been sharing
my knowledge of social media at the Electronic Information Resources / Web 2.0 workshop in Kumasi, Ghana.<br />
Participants were so grateful for introducing them to the various online resources. I pray they will overcome the challenges they may face (Technology phobia, electricity on and off etc.) and do their best to apply what I taught them. One keeps getting emails and text on my phone (SMS) from the participants showing much appreciation. <br />

This paper discusses motivation and performance of librarians in public universities in Ghana. The study examined motivation of librarians, the effect of motivation on performance, the views of librarians on motivation, the level of satisfaction of librarians and the effort the public university managements are making to motivate librarians. Through literature review, the concept of motivation and its effects on performance were discussed. Using a survey method, questionnaire were designed and distributed to seventy-two targeted librarians in six public universities in Ghana, out of this, sixty returned the duly completed questionnaire. The questionnaire sought to identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors which motivate librarians and how it affects their performance. The study revealed that the motivational level of librarians in public universities in Ghana is high and that the motivational level affects majority of librarians positively. The public university managements have made some efforts to motivate librarians but they need to do more to improve the current situation. The study concludes with some recommendations on how to improve motivational systems in place in public university libraries. The discussions in the paper provides some insights into intrinsic and extrinsic factors that<br />
motivate librarians in public universities in Ghana. The paper will therefore be of great value to<br />
managers in the public university libraries in Ghana and other developing countries in getting<br />
the best out of their staff if adequately motivated<br />

spectrum of knowledge seekers. They do this by providing access to knowledge which is
essential for the development of the society. The mission of an academic library is
focused principally on users and is driven by their needs. It involves ensuring that users
are able to access all relevant information irrespective of the heterogeneity of sources
and formats. In short an academic library provides services which involve delivery to the
user, training in information seeking skills and organising the resources in a way that
users find helpful. The challenges facing academic libraries in Ghana currently include
increasing costs of materials and limited budget that reduce the amount of materials to
be acquired, increasing student numbers, the trend towards student-centered learning
and above all the limited infrastructure and skills necessary to access information in the
digital environment. This paper assesses the challenges facing academic library users in
Ghana in their bid to maximize the use of the resources at their disposal in this era of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Appropriate recommendations are
made and solutions to identified problems suggested to ensure optimum utilization of
these resources.<br />

learning, research, and knowledge dissemination. Because of a profound ongoing shift in
context, however, the vision for academic libraries in Ghana will be to optimally ensure the
survival of values that the library has represented in the academic sphere for its future
existence. These include open access to scholarly information and cultural heritage,
digitisation, service to students and scholars. Librarians also strongly need to collaborate
closely not only as professionals but with partners in other areas of higher education and
cognate fields. Their leadership role in information management and provision must create a
coherent environment to facilitate the maximum use of scholarly information in all its forms.
The future academic library will need a team of flexible experts with a variety of aptitudes
and specialisations who collaborate as researchers, managers, skilled technologists, and
proactive in the fulfilment of the mission of their respective universities. And there is no doubt
that the future of academic libraries will be different from the one we know now. The paper
makes use of literature review and attempts to make some recommendations to ensure the
survival of future academic libraries as an institution to sustain their values of access to
high-quality information, preservation and dissemination. It also makes a case for academic
libraries to consider how to remain trusted and indispensable in a fast-evolving environment
– while controlling costs.<br />

work done in their institutions and in Ghana as a whole. This is a challenge in
supporting teaching, learning, research and knowledge dissemination. Therefore,
an alternative solution can be to enhance the Open Access Institutional
repositories (OA- IR). The technology is currently new in Ghana with only one
university hosting it. This article provides an overview of the establishment of
OA- IRs in Ghana, the challenges and making a case for key decision makers
to consider ways in setting up and enhancing their institutional repositories.<br />

as electronic information resources to support teaching, learning and research and also
facilitate knowledge dissemination. This explains why various library services have been
developed to promote and facilitate effective use of recorded information in all formats by
users. This paper examines the resources available and services offered by the Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Library. The methodology used
was records on files, interviews and observations. It is concluded that, in spite of library
budget cuts, KNUST Library has made systematic efforts in promoting effective use of its
resources by its users. It then makes recommendations to facilitate the effective and efficient
use of KNUST Library resources.<br />

to which staff of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
(KNUST) Library are exposed and measures put in place to
deal with them. It also assesses the personal safety measures already
in place with the objective of identifying their adequacy. Literature
on personal security and safety in academic libraries is reviewed.
Questionnaire, interview, and personal observation were used for
the collection of data. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS
software. Eighty-four of 124 responses representing 67.7% were received
from the staff of the KNUST Main Library for the study. The
study revealed that just like any other workers of a service organization,
the staff of the KNUST Main Library are not completely free
from threats to their personal security and safety. Efforts are made
to address the shortcomings in these security and safety measures
to enable KNUST Library staff work in an atmosphere devoid of
risks and uncertainties.<br />
