Abstract
The paper set out to look at Stress Management among Academic Librarians at Ahmadu
Bello University, Zaria Library Complex. The study was guided by two research questions. 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. This
would help to minimize the stress often experienced by them'e.t.c
