128-134Despite the importance of information and
communication technologies to the present day information delivery, most
reports and studies ascribe low computer literacy to librarians in Nigeria.
The present research sought to reexamine computer skills of librarians in Nigeria.
Questionnaire was used to collect data for this research. One hundred and
eighty four librarians participated in the study. Results show an improved
computer literacy level for librarians in the study when compared to results
obtained in previous studies. On a self-assessment basis, computer literacy for
the various facets of computer and software use ranges from 60% to 98% literacy
levels. Although the findings of the research show an improvement over previous
studies’ levels, there is still need to ensure that every librarian in the
country is equipped with all necessary information and communication technology
skills to enable the individual function effectively in the present age.
