This study investigated technophobia and ICT usage among librarians in higher educational institutions in Nigeria. The study adapted the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale Form C (CARS-C), Computer Thoughts Survey Form C (CTS-C), and General Attitudes Towards Computers Scale Form C (GATCS-C) developed by Rosen et al.. A questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. It was found that while a high extent of technophobia and a low extent of ICT skills were found among the older librarians, the reverse was the case with younger librarians. The study also found a significant difference in the extent of technophobia between older and younger librarians based on the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale, the Computer Thoughts Survey, and the General Attitudes Towards Computers Scale. It was recommended that the librarians should attend ICT training to acquire more ICT skills.
