Abstract
The study adopted the social survey technique and the population of the study comprised 452 certified librarians
of Nigeria libraries that were certified by the Librarians’ Registration Council of Nigeria (LRCN) on November,
24th, 2021. The librarians who took part in the survey were chosen using a random sampling method. One
out of every three librarians being admitted on the day was given the questionnaire. The researcher used
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 20.0) application software with simple percentages
chosen for easier analysis and interpretation. The findings of this study revealed that certified librarians are
averagely aware of the existence of robotic technologies usage for library services and the anxiety of employee
retrenchment is the major anxiety, despite they are aware that, the innovative apparatuses will increase global
recognition and enhance library services. It shows that certified librarians are faced challenges towards the use
of robotic technologies such as potential job loss, inadequate funding and epileptic among others. The study
recommended that certified librarians should keep up with modern trends in information dissemination by
learning fundamental skills that are technologically compatible among others.
