Studies have revealed that research has a feeder effect on the quality of knowledge that fulcrums higher education principles thence it attracts significant investments. These research efforts are captured and documented in publishable context for availability to knowledge consumers under a more structured system, the library. Our study focused on unearthing the phenomenal role of ICT on the three principal foci; Research, Publications and Library services in relation to Higher Education. However, despite higher education traditional definitive texture, its universal agenda is to discover, avail and preserve consumable knowledge, which in principle rhythms with our study focus, ICT being the facilitation operand. This paper approached the significant role played by ICT’s functional support to the three focal areas. We appreciated the collaborative existence of research, publications and library services towards actualizing Higher Education fundamental goals. This was achieved through critical review of existing literature. We were able to establish ICT role in activating the tri-axis connection between research, publications and library services within higher education.
