Librarianship and information science in Nigeria 1966-1999 authors A-M: subject headings national and government archives to withdrawals an annotated bibliography

This work is an annotated bibliography that consists of articles, books, conference papers, dissertations, reports, etc., published in various library and information science forums on the subject of librarianship in Nigeria. The goal of preparing this work is to provide a list of citations with abstracts that librarians, library students, and library scholars can use to perform research within this subject area to further the body of knowledge. The research methodology that was used to find these citations involved searching the database versions of ERIC, Dissertations Abstracts Online, and Library Literature within the online public access catalog of the Auburn University library system. It also involved searching the online databases of Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), British Education Index, and Education Abstracts within the DIALOG database as well as the respective print copies of these resources. Although this work is by no means an exhaustive analysis of the entire Nigerian library literature, it does strive to be comprehensive in terms of its treatment of this nation. All works cited in this text are alphabetically arranged based on the author's last name from the letter N to the letter Z and divided among a set of broad subject headings ranging from National and Government Archives to Withdrawals. The subject headings that are used are the Broad Subject Headings that are presently in use by Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA). In providing a citation for a non-English language work, the English equivalent of the title of that work will be given next to the non-English title.
