Abstract:
Like many other libraries, the Sokoine National Agricultural Library (SNAL) has already
computerized most of its services. The library has acquired a number of ICT facilities that
contribute positively to provision of information services. However, the new technologies provide
new challenges related to acquisition, preservation, maintenance and security issues, training of
users, and lack of awareness and commitment among key stakeholders. This paper discusses
some of the challenges experienced by SNAL, highlights measures taken to overcome some of
these challenges, and proposes strategies for proper management of ICTs in libraries.
