Abstract Information Communication Technology (ICT) has dramatically altered all human activities, including the library and information science fields, in order to assess the level of ICT literacy among library professionals and the need for training and orientation in ICT-based resources and services for library professionals working in Academic Libraries. This research gives an overview of how library professionals use information and communication technology-based resources and services. There is optimism that the majority of library professionals are ICT literate and have the foundational ICT skills. As ICT applications have evolved, libraries now provide print, electronic, and ICT-based information services, altering our perception of how LIS specialists serve users. Individuals may now get information without wasting time thanks to technological advancements. Information distribution and access patterns are shifting away from traditional technologies and toward digital ones. Due to the digital transformation, LIS professionals must learn how to use a variety of ICT tools, such as automation, bibliographic standards, ICT-based library services, web 2.0 skills, mobile information services, ILMS, Citation, IR, and others, in order to perform their duties effectively. The current study aims to identify critical ICT abilities among LIS workers, particularly in Academic Libraries. ICT expertise is now required, not optional, for library personnel. Librarians must continue to successfully manage digital resources, improve user experiences, safeguard data privacy and security, and adapt to the rapidly changing information ecosystem. Individuals may now get information without wasting time thanks to technological advancements
Keywords Skills in information and communication technologies (SICT), a positive outlook, knowledge and digital skills on Technology acceptance in Academic Libraries.
