The Use of the Intranet and Internet by Teaching Staff of the University of Zambia

Abstract

The use of the Intranet and Internet among academic members of staff at the University of Zambia was surveyed using a questionnaire. The findings revealed that the University had a well-developed network for both Intranet and Internet that was established to foster communication and access to both internal and external information. The paper concluded that there are some bottlenecks to the full use of the network. There is potential for full utilisation of the networks on condition that a policy to integrate the networks and ICT in general university management and running was developed and implemented.
