Greetings to the Editor of Library Philosophy and Practice. We discovered that our published paper with the citation, “Friday, Jerry Eyerinmene Mr and Oweibo, Favour Oghenevwarodovwe Mrs, "The Role of Information and Communication Technology in Sustainable Development: The Input of Nigerian Academic Libraries" (2023). Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 7979. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/7979,” was posted to Library Philosophy and Practice without an abstract. The authors are uncomfortable with this and decided that the published paper be withdrawn and the new manuscript being uploaded with the abstract be posted to the journal. We look forward to getting a positive response. Many thanks, dear Editor.
