“…Other impediments include: Inadequate library legislation, submissive attitudes of library heads, autocratic/dictatorial stance of library parent management. Furthermore, Amekuedee (1995) stated that barriers to successful library computerization in Ghana include: Lack of cooperation among university libraries, attitudinal problems among librarians; and Personnel problems. These problems are also akin to the Nigerian situation.…”

The information environment of a given society currently revolves around the ability to use and manipulate information technologies. This paper reviews the trend of information technology (IT) applications in East Africa government‐owned university libraries for the ten years 1987‐1997. By 1997, East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) had only eight government‐owned university libraries. The trend of IT applications in those libraries was surveyed using a questionnaire and review of available literature. It was revealed that the extent of IT applications in those libraries from 1987‐1997 was very limited. By 1997, only one government‐owned university library in East Africa had automated its library catalogue and books circulation control. Financial resources and lack of trained manpower in IT remained the most critical obstacles in the application of information technology in East Africa government‐owned university libraries.

The introduction of information technologies in libraries is no longer a matter to be considered. Any library that has not implemented the use of these technologies to its services is considered outdated. The changes brought about by the convergence of computer and telecommunications technologies into the library has totally revolutionalized the nature of services. Unfortunately, libraries in the developing countries of the world are unable to keep up with these developments. Various problems are militating against the full implementation of technologies in these libraries. Analyzes these problems from a study of a veterinary library in Nigeria which uses a CD-ROM to offer services to its clients. Makes suggestions and recommendations toward overcoming these problems in developing countries.
