NIGERBIBLIOS
Vol. 18 No. 1&2 Jan. - Dec (2007)EDITORIAL
Nigerbiblios is a long standing professional journal with a large and wide subscriber base. It brings currency, authority and accessibility to the reporting of current research, issues and debates in the broad area of library and information science.
It is my pleasure to present to our teeming subscribers this current edition, Vol. 18 numbers 1 & 2 (Jan. Dec. 2007) which is the fourth since the resuscitation of the journal in 2004.
A cream of professional librarians undertook the editing and selection of very stimulating and unique articles submitted by experienced practicing librarians as well as seasoned educationists in library schools in Nigeria.
The articles in this edition address various aspects of library and information practice in today's electronic age among which are:
The Library's Role in Agricultural Research and Development
Reference and Users Services in the Internet Age.
Bibliographic Control and Bibliographic Analysis of Published Articles;
Collection Development and Preservation;
Virtual Library Systems
Information Management Strategies;
and Utilization of Public Libraries by Nigerian Women.
I wish to urge fellow librarians and information professionals both within and outside Nigeria to promote the consistent production of this journal by carrying out empirical research on burning issues in global information practices and the way forward for practitioners in Nigeria, and to submit their findings, reports, book reviews to the editor-in-chief for publication. I assure you that your efforts in this regard will go a long way in sustaining the tempo of research activity among library and information practitioners as well as impact positively on library development in the country.
It is my sincere prayer that this journal continues to provide a cherished avenue for authors to publish their works and that subscribers would find this issue, challenging and enlightening.

NIGERBIBLIOS
Vol. 16 No. 1&2 Jan. - Dec (2005)Editorial
Nigerbiblios was resuscitated in 2004, after being off the shelves for some time, with the publication of Volume 15 Number 1 (January/June 2004). Following the resuscitation, efforts were made to continue without any further break, but unfortunately, this did not fall through due to logistic reasons. Consequently, Volume 16 numbers 1 & 2 that should have appeared as separate issues had to be lumped together. The result is a more voluminous issue with many more articles.
The advent of Information and Computer Technology (ICT) has almost resulted in a total abandonment of relevant but traditional practices. This issue of Nigerbiblios tries to give a voice to some such articles. It is no wonder, therefore, that articles such as "Managing past question papers in academic Libraries," by C. V. Anunobi: "Cataloguing and Classification of Monographs: a practical approach," by Abdul-Ghany Adebimpe: "Use and Use pattern of International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) and International Standard Serials Numbers (ISSN)" by W. Fola Adio are included.
On the other hand, H. 0. C. Otokuenfor's "Information Literacy rules the Networked world: the implication for Librarians and Information Scientists;" T. A. Ayo's "Application of Greenstone to the Development of National Library of Nigeria Information Systems," as well as Paul Ibrahim Mamman's "Networking the Departments of the National Library of Nigeria for efficient service Delivery," counterbalance the traditional articles.
It is hoped that our readers will find this combination both acceptable and enjoyable.
