Abstract

This paper sets out to discuss resource sharing and the place of virtual libraries among university libraries in Nigeria it is obvious that university libraries in Nigeria have been beaten hands down in meeting the needs of user. These are an underutilization and considerable disparity between and within the academic libraries in their levels of application and use of information and communication technology. Majority of the university libraries stills use the traditional methods of service provision and resource sharing, suggesting the most library authorities have not done much to embrace and integrate this information technology in their routine operations operation. Universities are compiled to shift gears in other to justify their existence in the changing information environment, and there is need for studies that address various issues that relate to technology adoption and use. The advent and pervasive role of the virtual library in academic libraries and its potential impact on learning, teaching and research, show that all efforts should be directed towards this laudable project.
