Abstract
Robots in Nigerian academic libraries: Investigating infrastructural readiness and potential for library services
The study used the lens of Robotics and related strands such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the libraries to view how ready the selected Nigerian universities libraries vis-a-vis their librarians’ potentials of the technologies. The study addressed the following questions: What is the level of readiness of university libraries in Nigeria in terms of digital infrastructure, policy framework and human capacity for the adoption and use of robots in providing library and information services? What services are currently available in the university libraries that can potentially be adopted and rendered through robots? What are the attitudes of librarians towards the potential use of robots in providing and accessing library and information services?Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | ||||||
