This study sought to explore the role academic libraries can play in connecting industries to research outputs emanating from universities and research institutions in Ghana. This study adopted the explanatory sequential mixed methods design. Purposive and disproportionate stratified sampling were used to select a sample size of 196, which included researchers, academic librarians and industrialists. The response rate was 78%. Data was collected through a semi-structured interview guide and questionnaire. Narrative analysis of qualitative data was employed, while quantitative data from the questionnaire was analysed descriptively (frequencies, means, standard deviations) and inferentially (ANOVA) using SPSS version 21. The significant finding indicates that academic libraries can play a key role in the effective transmission of research outputs to industries, hence, the need for a stronger collaboration among researchers, academic libraries, and industries to ensure high productivity, leading to national development. The study recommended the use of the Academic Libraries Transfer of Research Outputs to Industry (ALTROI) Model to ensure effective collaboration among researchers, academic libraries and industries as far as the proper use of research outputs is concerned.

这项研究旨在探讨高校图书馆在将行业与加纳的大学和研究机构的研究成果联系起来方面可以发挥的作用。本研究采用了解释性顺序混合方法设计。目的和不成比例的分层抽样被用来选择196名样本，其中包括研究人员，大学图书馆员和产业家。回应率为78％。通过半结构化访谈指南和问卷收集数据。使用定性数据进行叙述性分析，同时使用SPSS 21版对问卷中的定量数据进行描述性分析（频率，均值，标准差）和推论性分析（ANOVA）。重大发现表明，高校图书馆可以在将研究成果有效地传递到行业中发挥关键作用，因此，有必要在研究人员，高校图书馆和行业之间加强合作，以确保高生产率，从而促进国家发展。这项研究建议使用研究成果向产业转移的大学图书馆（ALTROI）模型，以确保研究者，学术图书馆和产业之间就研究成果的正确使用进行有效的合作。
