Abstract

We studied here the progress of computerization in Fourteen Nigerian University Libraries of which 24 were Federal, 17 state and 6 private. While the sample population was limited to the 13 University libraries that said they were computerized / automated. The response rate was 100% The services that were investigated or surveyed include Cataloguing, Acquisition, Circulation, Serials, Reference, OPAC, CD-ROM, Internet, Intranet and e-mail. The study shows that a satisfactory progress has been made in automating university libraries in Nigeria. The main issues facing automation in Nigerian university libraries concerned among others, funding, electricity, staffing and inadequate infrastructures. The result of the surveys shows that none of the library is fully automated.
