บทคัดย่อ Branch libraries in six Nigerian universities : a study of university-wide library systems
Abstract:
Branch libraries are a feature of
library and information services in six of the Nigerian universities located at
Ibadan, Nsukka, Zaria, Ile-Ife, Lagos and Benin City. The study was undertaken
in order to point up the resources and services of branch libraries in the
context of the overall library and information services in the six
universities. To gather the data for the major part of the work, two separate
questionnaires were formed and used. One required essentially factual
information. The other was a Likert-type questionnaire designed to discern the
attitudes of heads of academic units and librarians towards branch libraries.
Usable responses were received from 46(71.9%) of the branch libraries, 146(71.2,%)
heads of academic units and 90(71.4%) librarians from the six universities.
Considerable reliance was also placed on documentary materials, particularly
for background information about the library situation in the universities. A
majority of the branch libraries were founded in isolation in response to the
special information needs of the academic units to which they belong. Most of
the branch libraries were in separate rooms in the same building as their
parent academic units. The funds for the branch libraries were provided by the
universities as part of the budget of the main library or the academic unit
that administered the particular branch library. The accommodation, reader
places, information resources and services of the branch libraries were widely
distributed: in aggregate terms these, if effectively harmonized, can
ameliorate the existing constraints of the main libraries in many of these
matters. It was also shown that access to a majority of the branch collections
was hampered by restrictive regulations, limited openillg hours, inadequate
linkages and staffing constraints. The work explores and offers ways and means
of evolving university-wide library systems out of the existing arrangements
and fture possibilities.
