- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of information communication technology (ICT) in public libraries in Nigeria. It states that ICT applications have resulted in knowledge resource globalization and that libraries in developing countries such as Nigeria may lack ICT to utilize global information. It mentions that questionnaires were used to determine that slightly more than half of Nigerian public libraries are computerized, and that most of the libraries still utilize card catalogs, while only around 30 percent have electronic resources and Internet access. It comments on the need for the government to adequately fund public libraries and for library staff to attend training courses concerning different aspects of ICT.
