Abstract

This study examined librarians' attitudes towards the use library management software for cataloguing library materials in university libraries in South-South Nigeria. A correlational research survey was adopted for this study and a questionnaire was the instrument used in gathering the data. Total enumeration technique was used to capture all 197 librarians in the selected university libraries in South-South Nigeria. 197 questionnaires were distributed and 138 (70%) retrieved and analyzed using frequency count, percentage, mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The study revealed that librarians possess positive attitude towards the use of Library Management Software (LMS) in cataloguing library materials in university libraries. More so, librarians’ level of LMS use for cataloguing is high. It was recommended among other things that library administration and stakeholders should capitalize on the positive attitude of librarians towards the use of LMS by providing additional resources and support for further integration of LMS into libraries, provision of more computers, network/internet connections, adequate power supply to enhance adequate use of the software.
