It explores the outlook from the perspective of six academic librarians drawn from the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The survey findings reveal that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is generally perceived as an era for the adoption and application of new technologies. These innovations will expedite library operations, increase client satisfaction, and improve technical performance of difficult library tasks. The study recommends adequate funding of libraries and recruitment of librarians with requisite skills to work in the 4IR era. Librarians who lack the necessary skills are encouraged to consider professional development to prepare themselves for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. |
