Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming academic libraries worldwide by automating repetitive tasks, enhancing information retrieval, and personalizing user experiences. Nigerian academic libraries are gradually adopting AI technologies to improve service delivery, despite challenges such as limited funding, poor infrastructure, and skill gaps. This article explores how librarians in Nigeria use AI to render services, focusing on applications such as chatbots, smart search engines, automated cataloguing, and personalized recommendations. Case studies from Cosmopolitan University (Abuja), Kwara State University (Ilorin), and other institutions illustrate practical implementations. Benefits, challenges, and strategies for successful adoption are discussed, with comparative insights from other African countries. The article concludes with recommendations for policy, infrastructure, and capacity building to ensure sustainable AI integration in Nigerian academic libraries.
