Abstract
The recent trend of move from OPAC to discovery system has
not been observed in Nigeria. Hence, this study examined
Nigerian librarians’ perceived knowledge and readiness to
move from OPAC to discovery system. The study adopts
mixed method research approach. The study found that
Nigerian librarians are not ready to move from OPAC to library
discovery system in the nearest future. It was also shown that
there is little or no knowledge of library discovery system
among Nigerian librarians. The study concludes that Nigerian
librarians are not ready nor have knowledge of moving from
OPAC to library discovery system
