Leveraging Libraries, Information Centers, and Artificial Intelligence for Disaster and Risk Information Management in North-East Nigeria

Abstract Background: Academic libraries in North-East Nigeria operate within an environment shaped by insecurity, infrastructural weaknesses, and accelerating digital demands. Although artificial intelligence(AI) offers considerable potential to strengthen knowledge management (KM) processes, its uptake remains limited across many developing contexts. This study investigates the level of AI adoption, patterns of use, and their influence on KM effectiveness in academic libraries within the Mubi Zone of Nigeria.
