Nigerbiblios: Vol. 16(1&2),2005
Vol. 16 No. (1&2 ) (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.
