Information And Communication Literacy Among Practising Librarians In Delta State

Abstract

This study was designed to ascertain the level of ICT literacy among practicing librarians in Delta State, Nigeria. A survey involving 104 practicing librarians was conducted. The 104 librarians work in academic, public and special libraries.On a self-assessment basis, respondents revealed that they were more familiar with, and constantly used communication models of mobile telephony 100%, electronic-mail, 65% than other forms of communication like on-line 19% and fax 27%. Data also revealed that respondents were familiar with and used the internet but outside official duties. The study therefore concludes that practicing librarians in the State are yet to be fully ICT literate. Recommendations for improvements are also made.
