(Department of Library and Information Science, Bayero University, 2023) Nduka, S.C.; Tella, A. A.; Okiki, O.C.
This study examined the perceived benefits of implementing artificial intelligence in Nigerian libraries. This study adopted a qualitative method, with structured interviews used for data gathering. 31 librarians were purposively selected from federal university libraries in Nigeria. The findings revealed that librarians in Nigerian libraries are aware of the existence of AI technologies and that AI has the capacity to facilitate the prompt rendering of many library services and operations. However, funding, poor power supply, technophobia, resistance to change, fear of loss of job, lack of awareness, lack of technical know-how, phobia for new technology, staff competence in handling AI resources, poor human capacity development, lack of ICT facilities, low awareness, computer illiterate, lack of maintenance culture and lack of sustainable alternative power source are the major challenges hindering the successful implantation of Artificial Intelligence in various libraries in Nigeria. The study recommends that libraries in Nigeria need to intensify their efforts in implementing and adopting artificial intelligence in the delivery of library services to their users and that more funding should be made available to libraries to finance AI implementation project.
