dc.description.abstractThe study investigated awareness and adoption of cloud computing in library services in Bayero University Kano. Four (4) research questions and research objectives were formulated for the study. Quantitative research methodology using survey research design was used. The population of the study comprised of 122 professional librarians drawn from Bayero University library. Total enumeration was used to include all the 122 professional librarians because the population was not much and was conveniently managed by the researcher. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. A total of 122 questionnaires were administered and 101 were returned and found useful. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentages). The findings revealed that the librarians in Bayero University are well aware of cloud computing. It also revealed that the library has adopted cloud-based services, indicating that database management, e-resources and storage of sensitive documents are rendered through loud computing. The findings revealed ICT skills, availability of the technology, compatibility of the technology with library system and services, attitude of librarians towards cloud computing and perceived ease of use and usefulness could facilitate adoption of Cloud Computing in library service. Furthermore, the findings also showed that challenges associated with adoption of Cloud Computing in library services are: insufficient funding, poor internet connectivity and inadequate training among others. It was recommended that the University library should diversify the scope of cloud-based services to include other types of cloud-based services such as library management systems, cloud-based digital preservation, virtualised services, etc. Relevant funding authorities should adequately fund the library so as to tackle the challenges associated with the adoption of cloud computing in library services.
