The article focuses on the availability of information communication technology (ICT) in Niger Delta University libraries. It states that nearly half of available computers in the academic libraries are nonfunctional which makes electronic interlibrary loans impossible. It mentions that due to funding constraints, some libraries are unable to exploit electronic information resources in open access in the Internet and that Nigerian libraries often lack functional Web access or library web sites. It suggests that library fees could be charged for various services to maintain and sustain ICT services, which would ensure total cost recovery without profit.
