Vol. 21 No. 1&2 Jan. - Dec (2010): NIGERBIBLIOS

EDITORIAL

Nigerbiblios is a long standing professional journal with a large and wide subscription

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. 21. Nos. 1 & 2 (Jan-Dec. 2010) which is the Seventh edition 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 library management system among which are:

Collection Management

Information Utilization/Socio Economic Variables

Effect of Information Literacy

Reading Culture

Influence of University Librarians

Information/Record Management

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. Wishing you happy reading!!!

Editor-in-Chief
