The paper presents librarians’ attitudes toward information technology, their level of
knowledge in IT, and their relationship with each other. Secondary data was collected
through review of the relevant literature. Primary data was collected through a questionnaire
survey of 244 librarians of libraries in Pakistan. The study revealed that awareness of the
potential of IT, recency of attaining professional qualifications, and knowledge in IT had a
significant relationship with librarians’ attitudes. The study also revealed that librarians’
level of knowledge in technology is a good predictor of their attitude toward application of
information technology in libraries. Based on the findings, the paper puts forward
recommendations to improve the librarians’ attitudes toward IT applications in Pakistan
and other developing countries |
