The study determined strategies for overcoming the challenges associated with electronic collection development (ECD) in Nigerian university libraries. It employed a descriptive survey design. The total population of library respondents (Professionals and Paraprofessionals) used for this study was 208. Questionnaire and interviews were the instruments used to collect data for this study. The result of the study revealed that ECD is not yet very effective in Nigeria university libraries. The major factors militating against ECD as revealed by this study were inadequate funding for automation which is also at infancy level, poor technical knowhow, lack of higher bandwidth in Internet connectivity and lack of sound administrative policies and guidelines. The major strategies for overcoming the challenges include constant evaluation of automation facilities, adequate and regular systems upgrade, provision of skilled manpower and periodic and regular training of librarians and paraprofessionals in the use of modern information and communication technology facilities.

这项研究确定了克服尼日利亚大学图书馆与电子馆藏发展（ECD）相关的挑战的策略。它采用了描述性调查设计。用于这项研究的图书馆受访者（专业人士和准专业人士）总数为208。调查表和访谈是收集本研究数据的工具。研究结果表明，ECD在尼日利亚大学图书馆中还不是很有效。这项研究显示，对抗ECD的主要因素是对自动化的资金不足，这也处于婴儿期，技术知识薄弱，互联网连接带宽不足，缺乏完善的管理政策和指南。
