    (School of Education, Kenyatta University Nairobi, Kenya, 2021-10-06) Adamu, Mohammed Saba; Goshie, Rhoda Wusa; Abubakar, Fati; Ladan, Dogara
    This study investigated information communication technology and staff development as predictors of employees’ performance in federal university libraries in South-Eastern, Nigeria. Four research questions guided the study in line with the objectives. Descriptive survey research design was used for this study. The target population of the study were one hundred and eleven (111) librarians in the three selected federal university libraries in South-Eastern, Nigeria. A close ended structured questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. Total frequencies and median were statistical tools used for data analysis and multiple regression analysis was used for testing the hypothesis. Results showed that level of librarians’ performance is moderate, impact of ICT skills possession is high and impact of staff development in enhancing librarians’ performance is high. ICT and staff development were good predictors of librarians’ performance in federal university libraries in South-Eastern, Nigeria. The study concluded that prompt payment of staff salaries, reward system for dedicated staff and provision of good working environment would no doubt enhance librarians’ performance. The study recommended that management of federal university libraries in South-Eastern, Nigeria should reward the dedicated staff and make the libraries environment more conducive for both staff and users, organise more training for librarians and more opportunities should be given to librarians to attend conferences, workshops, short courses and seminars.
