Abstract

The study investigated the willingness of students to remotely tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries and the associated challenges. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The sample included 245 Adeleke University undergraduates. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that most patrons rarely use podcasts, with Spotify being the most popular among students. Students indicated that the campus news and information programme, library seminars, and user education would be their top choices for frequent listening. Students may be discouraged from utilizing library podcast programmes due to issues with internet access, a lack of finances to obtain data, and a time constraint. The study concluded that podcasts had potential for distant learners and that students would be ready to tune into podcast programmes aired by libraries, and therefore recommended that libraries in Nigeria begin to employ podcasts in airing library programmes and marketing library services.
