CHAPTER ONE

1.0ย  INTRODUCTION

The study of the principle and practice of library operation and administration is new in Nigeria. It was introduced by the colonial masters.

It did not become an identifiable discipline nor did it emerge as a separate course or field of study. It until the later half of the 19th century.

It emerged as a response to the socio-economic development of the nation.

The library as a store house of information is very essential in every aspect of life. For business, decision making, effective planning, communication, research and advancement. We need information for everyday activities and so cannot do with out it. The development countries of the world understand this and appreciate the role of information in national growth.

The Nigeria as a developing country has just realized the need for libraries as centre for selection โ€œEGโ€ acquisition, processing storage and dissemination of information, and for this reason there are today various types if libraries such as public libraries, school libraries and academic libraries in Nigeria, each rendering information services to their different communities of users.

Librarianship as a profession catering for the services and operation of the library has been accepted as an important and noble profession. Librarians comes together and interact through the Nigeria library association (NLA) which for gears has been the link through its annual general meetings, conferences, seminars, workshops and other activities both at the national and state levels.

Despite all efforts of Nigeria library association and the services of libraries and librarians, the profession has not attained its full growth and development as other profession like medical, engineering, legal and nursery etc. it has been experiencing some drawbacks that are affecting its growth.

The drawbacks range from the challenge of perception to the growth and development of the profession. The poor image of the profession (librarianship) as a result of the ugly perception of the profession by the general public, is disheartening and so constitutes a very big challenges to library and information profession in Nigeria.

Besides the attitude of librarians themselves also brings about many challenges in librarianship in Nigeria. Both librarians feel inferior, this are enable to stand and defined themselves and their not been legally recognized like medical profession, legal, etc. it was only in 1995. This is a great achievement and land mark.

Moreover, the adequate supply of well qualified teaching staff and the effectiveness of the Nigeria library Association (NLA) are not assured and so constitutes its own problem towards the profession.

The funding and patronage of the library as the base for the training of librarian on the part of the government also arouse worries and affects the growth of librarianship in Nigeria.

Inspite of all these Ogunseye 1984 pointed out that librarianship as a profession has come to stay.

Librarianship students are accepted as academic disciplines in our universities. Researches into the problem in all the frontiers of knowledge in library studies are being carried out.
