An online survey was the instrument used to collect data. Fifty-seven (57) participants responded to the online survey within one month. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the hypotheses. The research revealed physical interaction was used to disseminate new trends/ technologies to build professional networks and improve work productivity among law librarians. Years of work experience and desire to Knowledge dissemination correlate positively with CPD. Limited access to learning resources hampered knowledge dissemination for CPD, recommending open access to more learning resources.
