Alternatives in Librarianship: Prospects and Problems for the Nigerian Graduate.

Ochogwu, Michael G.

Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, v30 n4 p275-84 Spr 1990

Argues that, given the current employment situation in Nigeria, library education should be directed at educating and training professionals who can exploit their potential in several information-related organizations, rather than being tied to the library. The implications for curricula requirements of existing library and information science programs are discussed. (12 references) (CLB)
