Title: An assessment of Information Security Awareness among employees in Higher Education Sector in Zambia: Authors: Halubanza, Brian; Kunda, Douglas; Musonda, Yolam Abstract: The use of Information and Communication Technology to collect and process large volumes of data into information has made it possible for organisations to find ways and means of making informed decisions within a short space of time. There is so much dependent on information systems to such an extent that system failure can adversely compromise the organisation’s operations. The education sector has not been left out but has instead become an information super house. The development of information systems has however not been spared by malicious activities, whether internal or external that tend to corrupt the much treasured information. (Alghananeem, Altaee and Jida, 2014)The way employees handle information flow in the organisation can either put the organisation at risk or can instead help protect the information and related information processing assets. This study was therefore aimed at assessing Information Security Awareness (ISA) among employees in higher education sector in Zambia and how such levels contribute to information security efforts in higher learning institutions. The research was conducted by use of questionnaires grouped into five sections. The questionnaire was delivered to a total number of 150 employees from University of Zambia, Copperbelt University and Mulungushi University. The participants’ years of service and level of education ranged from 1 year to over 10 years, and from Certificate to PhD holders respectively. According to the findings of this research, it can be concluded that when employee self-awareness of information security, information security awareness training, Management’s role in Information security awareness and information security awareness compliance monitoring improve, this is going to translate into improved Information Security (IS) in higher institutions of learning in Zambia as well. The results, in addition, also show that the higher learning institutions in Zambia do not attach the much needed support to information security awareness among its employees and there is also minimal support from top management.

Title: Effectiveness of Library Practicum in linking theory and practice : Authors: Musonda, Yolam; Zulu, Zachary; Chewe, Pailet Abstract: Library practical training is a supervised, hands‐ on practice in various library duties and functions. This paper explores the effectiveness of library practical training in linking theory and practice. The study used a survey method in which a questionnaire was the main data collection tool. Third year students from the Department of Library and Information Science on practical training during the 2018/19 academic year participated in the study. A sample size of 110 respondents was purposively selected. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The results revealed that practical training was a very effective and highly relevant educational experience appreciated by students and lived up to their expectations in linking theory and practice. Inadequate practical training duration, overcrowding of students in one institution due to the limited places for attachments in other institutions and a general lack of motivational incentives in most host institutions were the main challenges reported by respondents. This study is the first of its kind on library practicum in Zambia. It is hoped that the findings will be helpful in designing enhanced and more effective library practical training programs in Zambia as well as in other developing countries.
