Abstract

This study investigated the influence of information and communication technology facilities and staff attitude on adoption and use of web 2.0 technologies in universities library services in south-south Nigeria. It adopted the correlational survey research design using census method as sampling techniques to ensuring that every staff in the university libraries in south-south, Nigeria was captured. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire were used to collect data for this study. The findings show that availability of ICT facilities have significant influence on adoption and use of web 2.0 technology in library services delivery and thatstaff attitude has significant influence on adoption and use of web 2.0 technology in library services delivery in the universities in South-south, Nigeria. This study recommended that librarians should encourage themselves with Fred Davis 1986 theory of Technology Acceptance model by canvassing the usefulness of computers in enhancing their job performance with ease rather than fear of losing their jobs. It is also recommended that for smooth operation of web 2.0 technologies in the university libraries in the South-South zone of Nigeria Solar energy system as alternative sources of power should be embraced as we have the sun in abundance all-round the year.
