Abstract
The study investigated management of information and communication technology (ICT) in school and the quality of teaching and learning of library and information science. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A sample of 100 students was adopted because most of the students were out of the institution to get their own tuition fee for the semester. Questionnaire on ICT in Educational Management containing items were the instrument for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts, two from Educational Administration and Planning, one from Computer Education, all from University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The validated instrument was trial tested in Anambra State which is outside the study area. Cronbach Alpha method was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument which gave the reliability coefficiency value of 0.91. Mean and standard deviation were used in data analysis. The study revealed that the provision and proper management of ICT in schools enhance the quality of teaching and learning of library and information science. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that government should pay more attention to the funding of ICT for effective teaching of library and information science.
