ABSTRACT
This study investigated the library services and access to resources through cloud technology in the Federal University Wukari Library, Taraba State, North East, Nigeria. The objectives were to determine the role of library services and access to resources through cloud technology, identify the challenges faced, and propose measures for improving these challenges in the federal university library. A descriptive survey research design was employed for the study. The entire population comprised 13 librarians from the Federal University Wukari library. Data were collected using a questionnaire structured on a 4-point scale, which was face-validated by three experts—two from the Department of Library and Information Science and one from the Measurement and Evaluation Unit, Faculty of Education, Federal University Wukari. The collected data were analyzed using percentages, means, and standard deviations to answer the research questions. The findings of the study revealed the significant role of library services in the University Library Wukari and the access to resources facilitated by cloud technology. It also identified the challenges faced in implementing cloud technology, such as the need for staff expertise in managing these emerging technologies. The study concluded that while cloud technology plays a crucial role in enhancing library services and access to resources at the Federal University Wukari, several challenges need to be addressed to optimize its benefits. The study recommended that library staff should be trained and become experts in managing cloud technology resources due to the rapidly evolving nature of these technologies. Additionally, ongoing professional development and support should be provided to ensure the effective utilization and management of cloud-based resources in the library.
