Abstract
The role of cloud computing in enhancing service efficiency in academic libraries has been widely acknowledged. However, its adoption in nigerian academic libraries, particularly in the north-east, remains low or absent, leading to dissatisfaction with information service delivery. This lack of adoption has resulted in non-scalable services, data loss, limited partnerships, and technological obsolescence, all of which impact library efficiency and clients’ academic performance. This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of cloud computing in north-eastern nigerian academic libraries, guided by the diffusion of innovation theory (doi) and the technological-organizational-environmental (toe) framework. Using a mixedmethods approach, 192 questionnaires were analyzed alongside interviews with 16 respondents to triangulate findings. Partial least square-structural equation modelling (pls-sem) was employed to test hypothesized relationships. Results show that all independent variables significantly influence the intention to adopt cloud computing, with government regulation exerting the highest influence (t-value: 6.725) and training/education the lowest (t-value: 1.925).
