Abstract
This study assessed the factors affecting the effective utilization of KOHA by librarians in Nigerian academic and research libraries. A descriptive survey was adopted using a purposive sampling technique to select forty-five libraries over the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria (twenty universities, both private and public, ten Polytechnics, and five colleges of education). An online structured questionnaire was sent to forty-five libraries. Thirty-six libraries completed the questionnaire. This was analyzed by constraints to use, the extent of use, and effectiveness of Koha using simple frequency and percentage. The findings revealed that lack of institutional support, inadequate information, and negative attitudes of librarians were some of the challenges facing Koha in Nigeria. Based on the findings, libraries should implement Koha and join the Koha software users’ group for effective understanding and utilization of all modules.
