- Optimizing Multimedia Technologies for Online Engagementin: The New Normal Experience of Nigerian Library and Information Science Academics Adeyinka Tella Yusuf Ayodeji Ajani Aderinola Ololade Dunmade Foreign Countries Library Schools College Faculty Multimedia Materials Teacher Attitudes Readiness Influence of Technology Computer Uses in Education The study investigated academics' experience using multimedia technologies for online engagements in the era of the new normal in Nigerian library schools. The study adopted a quantitative method approach using a survey design. The sample was drawn using total enumeration, which included all of the 98 respondents (researchers -- the lecturers in the library school) from the six library schools chosen for the study. The questionnaire used as the data collection instrument was adapted from "Optimizing Zoom Application for Virtual Research Presentation Questionnaire" (OZAVRPQ) which contained both the closed and open-ended format. Four research questions were answered in the study. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents are quite aware of the presence and importance of Multimedia technologies for virtual research presentation, and their attitude toward the usage of Multimedia technologies for online engagement is very positive. The majority of respondents describe Multimedia technologies as very interesting and highly satisfactory platforms for collaborations; they also note that using Multimedia technologies is much more convenient and cost-effective than a face-to-face presentation, especially when the research work is to be presented outside of the presenter's geographical location. The study noted technical difficulties, network issues, the cost of data subscription, a lack of information communication technology, ICT understanding, and a lack of training as challenges.
