Information and communication technology (ICT) has impacted all cranes and corners of academic library activity and has brought about its unprecedented changes and transformation. Conventional Library Information Service such as OPAC, referencing device, user services, interlibrary loan, audio visual, document delivery, awareness services and customer relations can be provided more effectively and efficiently using ICT, as they are cost effective, faster, offer convenient time and place, latest dissemination and end users involvement in the library and information services process. The study was embarked upon to critically examine the significance of ICT consolidation in library operations. The study, through a content analysis of existing literature discovered that effective application of ICT to library operations will facilitate productive library services in the country. However, there are certain challenges that need to be dealt with, if this feat is to be achieved. In conclusion, the effective application of ICT is the best tool for Library use, in assisting educational researches and students in this age of information explosion in ensuring effective services.
