Surveys the information communication teclinology (ICT) literacy among the staff members of Kenneth Dike and Nimbe Adedipe university libraries in Nigeria. The staff working in these libraries constitutes the sample of the study and selected by total enumeration technique. Data collected was categorized, analyzed and presented in tables, percentages and correlation analysis. The levels of ICT awareness of staff in both libraries are very high. The level of ICT training was also adequate. However, some of the factors that hindered the use of ICT facilities in these libraries include power outrage, inadequate technical staff for immediate assistance and constant breakdown of equipment. It is recommended that the management of these libraries make specific allowance for the procurement of ICT facilities in such a way that librarians get necessary computer facilities and software to enable provision of effective information services,Keywords
