The major purpose of this study was to determine the strategies for improving Library and Information studies in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Four research questions were answered and four null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population for the study consisted of 282 made up of Library and Information Science Students. The researchers use all the sample population because of the manageable size. Descriptive survey design was used to generate data for the study. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information for the study. The questionnaire was pilot tested with a sample of 30 students from Nasarawa State Polytechnic Nasarawa State. Cronbach Alpha reliability test was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument and this yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.77. The data were analyzed using mean statistic for the research questions and ANOVA was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Based on the findings, it was revealed that there was no significant difference in the mean rating of students on the strategies for improving the funding strategies required for using computer in the teaching of Library and Information Science studies. It was concluded that there are some basic strategies that could be adopted in other to improve the teaching of Library and Information Science studies using computer in the department of Library and Information Science studies. It was recommended that Library and Information Science studies instructors should be sponsored on retraining programmes at least twice a year through workshop, seminars and conferences to enable them learn the modern technological skills in their chosen field of endeavour.
