CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 General Overview
Student and staff information is an important procedure in every higher institution of learning. The level of significance cannot be over emphasized and this accounts for its existence in all tertiary institution as a mandatory procedure to keep information of students and staff at all levels. This is because, there is needed to know every staff and students in the school database. Without this record, it will be difficult to effectively store students’ staff record.
2.1 Review of Related Literature
Many textbook, literature and journal have attempted to define the concept of information and its components. MAJI E. (1995): said “I had implemented the use of password before an access can be made to run the program successfully, those access will only be made known to the user of my new system, he added that an unauthorized user will be thrown out of the program after the third attempt to enter wrong password. Furthermore, in attempt to describe the storage of data performed by the computer system a writer stressed that a warehouse stock file which contain record of many times, the computer system can be used to maintain this file so that for items, the quantity in stock shown on the records is the same as the actual quantity updated every time goods enter or leave the warehouse.
POPOOLA.(2000):What actually keeps the civil going in any modern system of government is recorded information called “records” which are used for planning decision making, and controlling. The need for a record management programmed in all organization cannot be overstressed in digital age.
The purpose and essence of any record system in the right place in the right order, at the right time for the right person at the lowest cost. For this feat to achieve an integrated record management program is needed.
RETREMMA H. (2001): Observed that it is perhaps appreciated to state at this junction, the contemporary changes in information stir and retrieval. We are today in a computer age. Computer as we know, are electronic processing equipment that can handle job faster more efficient and without mistake than human. Computer can handle very large valve of job, which could ordinarily overwhelmed human being or take much longer time to complete the job and can also process valve of data into information that could be use for decision making. Using computer, it will be easy to get information not only on professional career prospect but also access information on numerous level of social economic development science agriculture, and income, housing and medical provision.
Dr Lawrence C. Pejukwu: in the daily time of Friday December, 1995 reveals in his research work titled “Bridging the gap on Nigeria “ database envisaged that “ o:n major handicap research often suffer in Nigeria is the lack of access to handling a scientific database as easy reference point of information gathering the people of Nigeria, its valve of human activity such as vital events, the general characteristics by classification, specific social and economic in dice among other useful information that be sort about the country or its people. He went further to state that Nigeria can be supper power in all area of field if the abundant resources are well licensed by the effective method of documentation.
STAIR S. (1980): say that information system can present information by producing charts and formatted document. The study of information system is not about the use of information relevant to the user.
KROENKE T. (1982): Stipulated that an information system is an open purposive system that produce information using input/output. He further that information system serve as data storage and retrieval device, in this mode the production of information. Finally, it serves as a communication device to obtain data information from other system.
CORONEL R.P (1997) describes performance to be the ability to retrieved information within a reasonable time and at reasonable cost.
LAPLANTE L. (1996) explain that basically, any database security strategy must be designed to protect data from illegal access and ensure that data can be reconstructed or recovered in case of damage or loss.
