abstract={This study examines the knowledge of availability, use and challenges of Information Communication Technology (ICT) by the staff of the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) using a descriptive survey design. Participants include all the 299 research and non-research staff of NIMR. Instrument used was a self-structured questionnaire which was administered to all and has a return rate of 154 (52%). The findings of the study revealed that 110 (72.8%) which constituted the majority of the respondents, affirmed positively that they are aware of the availability of ICT facilities in NIMR library. However, those that are not aware of the availability of ICTs seem not to be informed or failed to appreciate it usefulness to their profession. Poor internet signal/slow server and inadequate provision of full internet connectivity was the leading problem encountered by the respondents.},
