| dc.description.abstract | Purpose: The study assessed the provision of Information and Communication Technology facilities for use by Library and Information Science educators in public University Libraries in Abia State, Nigeria. Design/Methodology/Approach: Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. Three research questions guided the study while three null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study was 30 Library and Information Science (LIS) educators drawn from Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU) and Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU). The entire 31 LIS educators were used as respondents for the study. Data for the study were collected with a well-structured 25-item questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested using t-test statistics.] Findings: From the data collected and analyzed, the study identified 9 rationale for providing Information and Communication Technology facilities, 9 factors that militate against the provision of Information and Communication Technology facilities in public university libraries and 7 strategies for enhancing the provision of Information and Communication Technology facilities for use by Library and Information Science educators in public university libraries. Originality/Value: Based on the findings, the study recommended that there should be capacity building training for both staff in effective utilization of ICT facilities for quality research and skills in Nigerian universities and that the identified problems hindering effective provision of ICT facilities in public universities libraries should be properly addressed by the government and school authorities. | |
