Abstract

This research work is on the role of information and communication Technology (ICT) in the provision of library services in Akwa Ibom State e–library. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was made up of 73 staff working in the Akwa Ibom State e-library. A total of 60 respondents were selected from the population as the sample for the study. The major instrument used for collection of data was the questionnaire designed by the researchers. The data collected were analysed using simple percentages. Results of analysis showed that: the Akwa Ibom State library Uyo makes use of information and communication technologies ; there is fund allocation for the use of ICT in the library; there is no internal fund raising mechanism for the development of ICT in the library; there is digital literacy program for the library. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that: financial support should be granted by government/public library management, charity organizations/corporate bodies to public libraries so as to foster the role of ICTs in the provision of adequate library services; an internal fund raising mechanism should be introduced for the maintenance of ICT equipment in the library.
