摘要：

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.
