This study aims to assess the information and communications technology (ICT) proficiency of library and information science (LIS) professionals working in Tangaza University College (TUC) Library, Kenya.,A qualitative research design using a single case study was adopted in the study, which gathered data through a census. Data were collected using a structured interview.,The study findings indicated that the majority of TUC librarians have very high ICT competence in basic ICT and some Web technologies; however, they lack technical ICT skills. Furthermore, though ICT courses are offered during LIS professional training, TUC librarians lack opportunities to implement some of their advanced ICT skills. Lack of funding, time, practical lessons, personal interest, training opportunities and ICT obsolescence were highlighted as challenges librarians encounter in their pursuit of acquiring ICT skills.,The study recommends that regular ICT-related training programmes be conducted for librarians and be offered in the form of workshops, seminars and conferences. Furthermore, there is a need for an academic curriculum in LIS schools to have more practical ICT-related components. Library staff should be encouraged to develop a personal interest in pursuing ICT skills, and librarians should also make use of ICT training opportunities that are freely available online for personal development.,The study is beneficial to those concerned with developing training programmes for librarians to strengthen areas deemed to have shortcomings.

ICT 熟练程度：肯尼亚坦加萨大学学院图书馆员的观点

本研究旨在评估在肯尼亚坦格萨大学学院 (TUC) 图书馆工作的图书馆和信息科学 (LIS) 专业人员的信息和通信技术 (ICT) 熟练程度。研究采用了使用单个案例研究的定性研究设计，通过人口普查收集数据。数据是通过结构化访谈收集的。研究结果表明，大多数 TUC 图书馆员在基本 ICT 和一些 Web 技术方面具有非常高的 ICT 能力；然而，他们缺乏信息通信技术技能。此外，尽管在 LIS 专业培训期间提供 ICT 课程，但 TUC 图书馆员缺乏实施其某些高级 ICT 技能的机会。缺乏资金、时间、实践课程、个人兴趣、培训机会和 ICT 过时被强调为图书馆员在追求 ICT 技能时遇到的挑战。该研究建议为图书馆员定期开展与 ICT 相关的培训计划，并以讲习班、研讨会和会议的形式提供。此外，LIS 学校的学术课程需要包含更多实用的 ICT 相关内容。应鼓励图书馆工作人员培养追求 ICT 技能的个人兴趣，图书馆员还应利用在线免费提供的 ICT 培训机会进行个人发展。认为有不足之处。该研究建议定期为图书馆员开展与 ICT 相关的培训计划，并以讲习班、研讨会和会议的形式提供。此外，LIS 学校的学术课程需要包含更多实用的 ICT 相关内容。应鼓励图书馆工作人员培养追求 ICT 技能的个人兴趣，图书馆员还应利用在线免费提供的 ICT 培训机会进行个人发展。认为有不足之处。该研究建议定期为图书馆员开展与 ICT 相关的培训计划，并以讲习班、研讨会和会议的形式提供。此外，LIS 学校的学术课程需要包含更多实用的 ICT 相关内容。应鼓励图书馆工作人员培养追求 ICT 技能的个人兴趣，图书馆员还应利用在线免费提供的 ICT 培训机会进行个人发展。认为有不足之处。LIS 学校的学术课程需要包含更多实用的 ICT 相关内容。应鼓励图书馆工作人员培养追求 ICT 技能的个人兴趣，图书馆员还应利用在线免费提供的 ICT 培训机会进行个人发展。认为有不足之处。LIS 学校的学术课程需要包含更多实用的 ICT 相关内容。应鼓励图书馆工作人员培养追求 ICT 技能的个人兴趣，图书馆员还应利用在线免费提供的 ICT 培训机会进行个人发展。认为有不足之处。
