Organization of information in Nigerian newspaper libraries

Abstract

Nigerian newspaper libraries, which are units of editorial departments, are accommodated within noisy areas of large building complexes and managed by untrained or trained but inexperienced staff, who maintain newspaper cuttings, photo libraries, bound volumes and reference collections and neglect indexing and microfilming. Newspaper proprietors should upgrade their libraries to autonomous departments and employ experienced, qualified librarians with adequate powers to run the libraries professionally.
