Influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on Cataloguing Services in Libraries

Abstract

Correlation research design was used to investigate the Influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on Cataloguing Services in Libraries. An objective was stated and a null hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. 169 librarians were used for the study. The study made use of two researcher-made rating scales. Pearson “r” statistic was used to answer the research question raised so as to establish the degree of relationships existing between the variables using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 via the computer while the t-test significance of Pearson “r” statistics was used to test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance. Result of the analysis revealed that there is a moderate relationship between availability of ICT facilities and cataloguing services in the libraries and the relationship was found to be significant
