      Murtala Hashimu, Muhammad Garba, Abubakar Ibrahim
Abstract: Information and communication technology (ICT) has changed the world of library such that activities being carried out manually before are now being automated. The works of library staff are now being characterized by information and communication technologies. Academic libraries were observed to be more equipped with information infrastructures more than any other type of libraries, but no library no matter how well equipped that doesn’t require the service of a workforce that is highly competent in the use of ICT tools, as such information infrastructure will remain unused or under-utilized. It is in connection to this, that this study examined the background and underlined the need for an ICT competency framework that explains the duties and responsibilities of the library professionals engaged. The study also highlighted several aspects of ICT competency implementation and the impacts of ICT on the development of library personnel competencies in general. A descriptive survey design of quantitative research method was used, with a sample size of one hundred and thirty-two (132) drawn from population of one hundred and fifty-two (152).
