Abstract

Background: This study investigated cloud computing competencies of librarians and Information Service delivery in federal university libraries in South-South and South-East, Nigeria. Objectives: Three objectives, research questions were raised and hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Methods: Descriptive survey research design was employed. The population for the study was 147 electronic library staff from 11 federal Universities in South-South and South-East, Nigeria. All the 147 electronic library staff were sampled using census sampling technique. An instrument titled “Cloud Computing Competencies of Librarians and Information Service Delivery Questionnaire (CCCLISD)†was used for the data collection. The instrument was face validated by the researchers. The researchers and their trained research assistants administered the copies of the questionnaire. The data generated was analyzed using linear regression. Results: The result of the study revealed that there exists a significant relationship between cloud computing competencies of librarians and information service delivery in University libraries in South-South and South-East, Nigeria. The findings further showed that librarians in federal universities in South-South and South-East, Nigeria could competently utilized cloud computing for information service delivery. Conclusion: The study concluded that the ability of librarians to competently utilized cloud computing have enhanced information service delivery to library growing clientele Significance: The study act as a bridge in closing the information gap from traditional method of information service delivery to digital using cloud computing. Recommendations: It was recommended among others that university libraries in Nigerian should train and re-train their librarians on cloud computing technologies in order to provide efficient service delivery to users.
