ABSTRACT
This study explores the perceptions of librarians on the adoption of cloud computing technologies in Bayero University, Kano Library. A qualitative narrative-based approach was employed, with data collected through interviews. The study targeted 70 professional librarians, with a sample of eight sectional heads and two IT staff. Data analysis was conducted using coding and descriptive methods. Findings reveal that librarians have a positive perception of cloud computing adoption, recognizing its role in enhancing library operations, resource management, and outreach. Commonly utilized technologies include email services, file-sharing tools, and collaborative platforms, which improve efficiency, security, and service reliability. Librarians acknowledge cloud computing as transformative in streamlining processes and increasing user satisfaction. The study suggests enhancing library operations by utilizing cloud computing technologies like virtual team management tools and online cataloging, while emphasizing the need for continuous training and technical support for librarians.
