The challenge of funding, lack of ICT infrastructure, low bandwidth as well as misunderstanding between library staff and ICT department were identified. It was recommended that an ICT policy for the libraries to guide them in the acquisition and use of ICTS in their libraries be developed. Also, librarians in the Polytechnic Libraries should be trained in various technological applications and trends in information service and delivery to enhance the services they provide. Finally, the Polytechnic leadership must prioritize the acquisition and use of ICTs in their libraries and make budgetary allocation that could support that drive
