    (Journal of Adventist Libraries and Archives (JALA, 2025-10) Ugwunwa, C. Esse; Haliso, Y.; Ogungbenro, Olabisi D.; Olowoporoku, Isaac O.
    The rapid progression of technology has profoundly reshaped numerous sectors, with education and information services standing out as particularly affected sectors. Within this landscape of technological evolution, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have emerged as formidable instruments that not only enhance user engagement but also enrich the overall learning experience. In the realm of libraries, especially within Nigerian universities, the incorporation of AR and VR technologies offers a groundbreaking opportunity to revolutionize traditional methods of information dissemination and user interaction. This research paper intends to delve into the potential of AR and VR technologies in augmenting user engagement and how it can improve learning outcomes within Nigerian university libraries. By conducting a comprehensive review of existing literature and analyzing relevant case studies, this study aims to uncover best practices, identify challenges, and assess the overall impact of these immersive technologies on library services. Furthermore, the research explore innovative ways in which AR and VR can be utilized to cultivate interactive learning environments, enhance information literacy, and deepen the connection between users and the vast array of library resources available to them. The paper also seeks to address the specific needs and realities faced by Nigerian university libraries, and also contribute meaningfully to the broader conversation surrounding innovative library practices and the pivotal role of technology in fostering academic success, and finally suggest methods through which AR and VR can be effectively integrated into library services, thereby enhancing the educational landscape and empowering users in their quest for knowledge.
