Author(s): Adaeze Nwona NZEWI
Abstract: This study investigates the correlations among Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, ICT skills, knowledge-sharing practices, and library service delivery in academic libraries in Anambra State, Nigeria. Employing a correlational research design, data were collected from 170 librarians using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics revealed that knowledge-sharing practices, ICT skills, and library services were all at a "High Extent" of implementation, while the deployment of web and AI technologies was at a "Moderate Extent." Correlation analysis demonstrated significant positive relationships between all independent variables and service delivery, with web technology deployment showing the strongest association (r = .480, p < .001)....
Keywords - Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies; Library Service Delivery; ICT Skills and Knowledge-Sharing Practices and Academic Libraries.
