Item Evaluation of the implementation of electronic government in Ghana(Information Polity, 2017-10) Adu, K.K.; Ngulube, P.; Park, E.G.; Adjei, E.Poverty and lack of access to technology continues to pose a perpetual threat to Africa’s e-government implementation program. While significant progress in e-government has been chalked, huge disparities remain within and among African countries. This study examines the implementation progress of e-government in Ghana’s ministries and agencies. Based on Gartner’s maturity stage of e-government, underpinned by a quantitative approach, surveys were conducted in 182 government agencies. Findings of the study showed that e-government resources are available and used to facilitate e-government activities in government ministries and agencies. However, Public sector organizations are still plagued with infrastructural, economic and legal challenges and human resources in the development of e-government. It recommended that the Ghana’s government should expand the use of online services by adopting a more citizen-centric approach to promote e-government planning and implementation in infrastructure, law, human capacity.Item Exploring models for the management of indigenous knowledge in academic libraries of Ghana(SAGE, 2021) Asamoah, C.; Ngulube, P.The need to manage indigenous knowledge (IK) as a key knowledge base of society has become vital in the era of information society. The lack of representation of IK is partly blamed on its exclusion from academia because IK is not primarily the core focus of academic library’s collection. The study sought to explore existing models and develop a framework for the management of indigenous knowledge in academic libraries in Ghana. The qualitative methodology using content analysis was adopted for the purpose of the study. Data was ana lysed using themes developed from the documents and literature. It was evident that the library services and programmes did not reflect on the African content of knowledge management. For an integrated indigenous knowledge management system, stakeholder’s partnership, policy guidelines and integration of IK into library’s collection is instrumental. Transformation of knowledge systems was identified as the starting point of integra tion. Social inclusion of marginalised knowledge, equality, sustainable development was identified and recom mended in the effort to integrate indigenous knowledge management systems into the library’s collection. A proposed framework has been developed for the management of indigenous knowledge in academic libraries as a blueprint for any integration effort.
