Abstract
Man has continued to live in a world in which the prospects for universal and continuous peace and security remain dark with a plethora of global conflicts involving nations. Consequently, the themes of war, conflict resolution and peace promotion have dominated social science discourse, particularly in sociology, political science and international relations. As a result, peace and conflict research has become one of the cardinal pursuits of human societies and communities. What has remained, in all of this development, is the role of library in disseminating information for conflict resolution. The study highlights various strategies for conflict resolution, causes of conflict, consequences of conflict, information and conflict resolution, conflict resolution through information literacy and library, and conflict resolution. It concludes that libraries have many challenges in meeting up with conflict resolution. Such challenges include inadequate or lack of well equipped ICT laboratories, inadequate funding, inadequate number and right caliber of academic staff, and irregular power from the public power supply.
