Abstract |
The study observed the influence of funding and technical proficiency on use of the library management system in public universities in South-West, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 337 library personnel in public universitiesin South-West, Nigeria. A self-designed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection with an overall reliability index of 0.853. The major findings of the study revealed that funding and technical proficiency influences the use of library management systems in public universities in South-West, Nigeria. It is thus recommended amongst others, a pungent reordering of the funding such that the public university in South-West, Nigeria would look inward for more enterprising, creative and innovative library services for use of Library Management Systems rather than the present overdependence on government.
