In the context of Librarianship, digital literacy is crucial for managing institutional repositories, which house scholarly output like research articles and theses. Librarians are expected to possess technical skills for repository management, including metadata creation and digital preservation. In the ever-changing digital landscape, Librarians must bridge the digital gap to optimize institutional repositories in Nigerian federal universities, especially in the South-South region.
