      abstract = {Records Preservation and Conservation Practices (RPCP) is inevitable for record personnel that provide adequate health information and services in the hospitals. Preliminary investigations showed that adequate priority has not been given to records preservation and conservation practices in hospitals in Ibadan. This may be as a result of non-use of ICTs by records personnel RPCP. Little attention, however, has been paid to factors that could predict good records preservation and conservation practices among records officers in hospitals in Ibadan. It is on this background that the study investigated information and communication technology use as determinant of records preservation and conservation practices in selected hospitals in Ibadan. Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was used as the framework, while the survey design of the correlational type was adopted. All the 190 records officers in five hospitals in Ibadan, Oyo State were enumerated. The instruments used were ICT use (a-0.882) scales, Records preservation and conservation (a=0.785) scales. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple regressions at 0.05 level of significance. About 55.4% of the respondents were of the senior cadre and 69% possessed first degree certificate. The RPCP (proper handling of records  =3.83, environmental control on records 3.78). The Information and communication technology use for records preservation and conservation practices (machine-based tech–photocopy machine  =3.50 and computer  =3.50, storage tech–hard disk  =3.55 and flash drives  =3.52 and storage tech: cloud storage  =3.65). There is a positive significant relationship between ICT use and records preservation and conservation practices by the records officers (r=.275; df =183; p< 0.01). The ICT use (B=.156) relatively contribute to RPCP. Information and communication technology use determined records preservation and conservation practices in selected hospitals in Ibadan. Hospitals in Ibadan, Oyo State should address Information and communication technology use to drive records preservation and conservation practices.},
