dc.description.abstractUniversity libraries are vital components of educational institutions, serving as centers of knowledge and enhancing learning and research among students and staff. This paper discusses a comparative study of university libraries in Nigeria and America, discovering their services, organizational structures, policies, ICT adoption and histories. The study identifies similarities and differences in how these libraries function, adapt to technological advancements, and cater to the diverse needs of their respective student populations. In both Nigeria and America, University libraries play vital roles in supporting academic curricula, promoting teaching and learning, and providing access to a wealth of learning resources. Common practices include offering collections of printed books, reference materials, and multimedia resources. However, they also exhibit distinctive features in their adoption of digital technologies, staffing levels, and access to funding and resources. While Nigerian University libraries often face with funding constraints and limited access to digital resources, America counterparts embrace technology with enthusiasm, providing ebooks, online databases, and interactive learning tools. These differences reflect the diverse educational landscapes and resource availability in each country. The findings underscore the resilience and dedication of University libraries in both nations, striving to meet the evolving needs of students and staff in an ever-changing educational landscape. The concludes by advocating for continued efforts to support these libraries, recognizing their essential paper role in nurturing well-rounded individuals, fostering research skills, and inspiring lifelong learners.
