The study adopted a quantitative approach and descriptive research design. The population includes 115 Academic librarians working at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Library Complex. Due to the manageable nature of the study and the population, a total enumeration was used. The questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. A total of 115 questionnaires were sent to the respondents and 104 questionnaires were correctly completed and returned by the respondents. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and measures of central tendency using frequency, percentages, and mean. The benchmark for high-level awareness of stress among university librarians was 2.5, using the criterion mean on a 4-point Likert scale. The finding of the study showed a high level of awareness among Academic librarians regarding technological stress, health damage, and research writing to mention just a few. It concluded that stress that has been identified to have effects on librarians should be properly managed so that high productivity by Academic librarians can be fully realized since the majority of academic librarians are aware of some stress and its causes. It recommended that the management of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Library Complex should reduce the workload on staff, educate the academic librarians on how to write research articles properly and how to use the technology, and organize quarterly training for Academic staff of the Library Complex.
