摘要

摘要领导是当代图书馆事业成功的关键。本文调查了尼日利亚大学图书馆的领导和信息通信技术的采用。本研究采用描述性研究设计。采用多因素领导力问卷(MLQ)进行数据收集。研究对象为尼日利亚西南部学术图书馆的402名图书馆员。研究发现，图书馆领导在尼日利亚学术图书馆采用ICT方面发挥着重要作用。研究发现，虽然变革型和交易型领导风格在学术图书馆都很好，但受访者认为他们的领导更倾向于变革型，而不是交易型。信息通信技术在图书馆运营中的应用程度很高。图书馆从信息和通信技术的采用中受益匪浅，尽管图书馆在采用信息和通信技术的过程中面临着许多挑战。建议图书馆领导应在图书馆管理中吸收变革型领导实践，因为它提供了有效的领导，并为下属所接受。由于信息和通信技术对工作表现和服务提供带来了许多改进，因此学术图书馆也应在其业务中全面采用信息和通信技术

Academic Library Leadership in Nigeria and ICT Adoption

Abstract Leadership is vital to the accomplishment of librarianship in the modern era. This paper investigated academic library leadership in Nigeria and ICT adoption. A descriptive research design was used for the study. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used for data collection. The population of the study was 402 librarians in academic libraries in South-west, Nigeria. It was found that library leadership plays a significant role in ICT adoption in academic libraries in Nigeria. The study found that though both transformational and transactional leadership styles are good in an academic library setting, the respondents rated their leaders as more transformational than transactional. The extent of the adoption of ICT in performing library operations is high. The libraries benefited enormously from the adoption of ICT, even though the libraries face a lot of challenges in the adoption of ICT. It was recommended that Library leaders should imbibe transformational leadership practices in the management of their libraries as it offers effective leadership and is acceptable to the subordinates. The academic libraries should also make full-scale adoption of ICT in performing their operations due to the numerous improvements ICT brings to job performance and service delivery
