INFORMATION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR NIGERIAN LIBRARIANS

Abstract

The paper focuses on Information and Communication Technology (ICT)as means, not ends, as tools that enable desired changes in all areas of life. It recognizes the fact that more could be done in the libraries using ICT for resource sharing and exchange of information in development purposes. It notes that librarians must be highly creative and imaginative to make it work. This paper also seeks to propose a number of essential strategies for consideration by the librarians who understand the roles of libraries and information centres in providing access to information that will sustain development and who will like to effect changes in their immediate constituencies. It also highlights the efforts put in place by the Nigerian Library Association in building new frontiers for libraries and librarians in Nigeria.
