ABSTRACT
Academic libraries are service-oriented designed to provide information resources to solve problems with the help of a professional librarian. This paper describes the concept of web-based libraries and their services their significance in information production and dissemination and the challenges associated with providing web-based service delivery in academic library settings. The study is based on a survey that assessed the role and challenges of web-based library services in academic libraries in Nigeria. The survey found that web-based library services play a significant role in providing remote access to library resources facilitating effective service delivery increasing distant library service delivery across the globe and being cost-effective in accessing information. However the study also identified several problems confronting the system including a lack of ICT skills among librarians poor Internet connectivity and poor funding. The study concludes that while web-based library services are crucial for effective and efficient service delivery several challenges hinder their implementation and effectiveness. Adequate funding of libraries is essential to cater to digital information resources and ensure functional and steady web-based library services. Improving ICT skills among librarians and enhancing Internet connectivity are also critical for effective and efficient service delivery.
