The paper examined the nexus between the application of
information and communication technology to library services and
leadership. It noted the pervasiveness of ICT across all professions as
global best practices. It alerts that the twenty-first century libraries are
currently faced with technology savvy clientele and more sophisticated
patrons expecting services that can compete favourably with or better
organised than Google and other retrieval systems. The paper x-rayed
the current state of libraries in Nigeria and averred that innovative
leadership is a critical precondition to mainstreaming the Nigerian
libraries to an enviable pedestal that approximates to international
standards. Other critical leadership issues identified for effective
management of ICT- driven libraries in Nigeria include: leaders capacity
to facilitate change, demonstrating and justifying returns on investment,
ICT capacity building initiatives for librarians, benchmarking practices,
understanding back-up and Anti Intrusion systems, adequate power
supply and bandwidth as well as ensuring that aggregators of electronic
resources indemnify libraries against infringement of copyright
