This study aimed to
examine effects of technology on knowledge sharing among librarians in
South-west Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey research design and
mixed methods research approach. All the 108 librarians were sampled through
census/total enumeration technique and 6 university librarians (Head of the
Library) amounting to 114. Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology
(UTAUT) theory as a framework was used to underpin the study while
post-positivism research paradigm was employed for the study. Data was
collected through questionnaire and interview. The quantitative data collected
was analysed through SPSS, while qualitative data was analysed using thematic
content analysis. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents 54(53%)
perceived their level of ICT skills to be medium and that ICT help librarians
to locate the various elements relevant to the process of knowledge sharing
(m=4.33) as well as facilitates quick delivery and dissemination of knowledge
(m=4.21). The interviewed respondents also supported the findings that ICT has
enhanced knowledge sharing practices among the librarians in their libraries.
Based on the findings, conclusion and recommendations were made.
