Abstract
Technology is pervading every aspect of our lives. Therefore, the skills to navigate and accomplish tasks through technology have to be developed. Digital literacy is a tool for promoting effective access to and utilisation of digital information. This study investigates the adequacy of digital literacy skills among academic staff in selected public universities in Kenya. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview guides from 113 participants comprising 86 academic staff, 23 library staff and 4 university librarians. SPSS was used to analyse quantitative data while qualitative data was analyzed thematically. The findings showed that academic staff believed to be digitally literate could not practically use the skills in accessing and utilizing digital information. The study recommends continuous digital literacy training for both academic staff and library staff.
