NETWORKING THE DEPARTMENTS OF THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF NIGERIA FOR EFFICIENT SERVICE DELIVERY

Abstract

The National Library of Nigeria is distinct from other types of library in the country because of its functions vis a vis its unique branches and the locations of the branches. Networking will enhance an open house communication between the staffers and the institution and provide open access to the resources of the library to the general public. This will in a way facilitate effective sharing of intellectual resources.

This paper considers the implementation of a cooperative network in the departments of the National Library of Nigeria worth trying. This will in effect enhance the sharing of resources for the operational tasks being provided by the departments. It will also boost the resources available in the branches.
