Utilization of Computer Facilities by Staff of University of Jos Library

The research examined the utilization of ICT facilities by the staff of University of Jos library. Survey method was used in the research. Questionnaire was distributed to all the staff (75) who duly completed and returned them. Interview was conducted to confirm some of the responses to the questions in the questionnaire distributed as well as observation of the facilities in the offices. It was discovered that a majority of the staff are computer literate and use computer facilities only when the need arises. However, some of the staff that are computer literate still need training to acquire competence in the use of computer properly for their work. A majority of them use computer for E-mail purposes, followed by cataloguing, administrative work, research and teaching. All the academic librarians are computer literate except one librarian II and all the security staff A majority of the respondents indicated that the use of ICT facilities does not improve their performance at work and the major constraint to the use of ICT facilities is lack of adequate facilities for staff use.
