However, building on digital literacy is more important in the libraries for the librarian to stay ahead of future demand of the profession. The study, therefore, investigated digital literacy skills and job performance of library staff in research institutes Ibadan, Oyo State. The study used a descriptive and cross-sectional survey approach. The population of the study comprised all the one hundred and forty-eight (148) library staff in the ten (10) Research institutes in Ibadan, Oyo State and a total enumeration sampling method was used. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for quantitative data analysis. The test of hypotheses shows that Information literacy skills (ß=0.498, t=6.265, p<0.05) has significant influence on job performance, ICT skills (ß=0.794, t=4.940, p<0.05) has a significant influence on job performance, Library staff attitude (ß=0.235, t=2.639, p<0.05) has a significant influence on job performance. The level of digital literacy skills among the library staff is high. The findings have shown that library staff in research institutes in Ibadan Oyo State have high job performance with high level of digital skills. It was concluded that research institute libraries will take advantage of technological development to improve their services and their staff must also improve on their computer attitude and adaptive performance in order to remain effective and efficient. It was therefore recommended that library staff in research institutes should be exposed to more training in change management to improve on their adaptive performance. Librarians should also engage in continuous personal development to improve their adaptive skills. ICT skills acquisition must be an integral part of the evaluation of library staff in research institutes irrespective of job description.
