A STUDY OF
THE CHALLENGES IN THE TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
STUDENTS IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The study of
the challenges in the training and education of library and information science
students is psychological. It is against this that the researcher sees the
subject matter worthy of investigation to examine how the challenges pose a
threat on the effective training of students of library and information
science.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Library and
information science (LIS) training and education play a significant role in the
production of high quality LIS students who occupy a unique position in
national development. LIS students are gatekeepers and brokers of information
which is essential for knowledge acquisition, decision-making and national
development. The success of library, archives and information centre?s in
effectively meeting their obligation of information provision is hinged, in
part, on the development of skilled manpower.
Trained
personnel, according to Korsah (1996) are a key requirement in library and information
work. In this respect, LIS education plays a vital role (Edegbo, 2011).
Although early LIS students, particularly librarians did not undergo any formal
training (Wikipedia, nd.), the modern day challenges of library and information
work require that personnel should be well-trained and educated to make for
effectiveness.
Melvin
Dewey, the famous proponent of the Dewey Decimal Classification System was said
to have established the first library school in the United States in 1887 at
Columbia University (Wikipedia, n.d.). In Europe, the library School
established in Barcelona in 1915 is reputed to be the oldest library school in
that continent. Many other library schools were said to have been established
during the Second World War. In Africa, however, South Africa is credited with
the longest history of LIS in the continent dating from 1938 (Ocholla, 2007).
In West
Africa, the earliest formal training in librarianship consisted of short
courses organized by practicing librarians and these were aimed solely at
preparing the participants for the British Library Association examinations
(Ojo-Igbinoba, 1995) which then constituted the only gateway for aspiring
librarians (Aguolu and Aguolu, 2002). One of such courses took place in
Achimota College, Gold Coast (now Ghana) in 1944 and it drew participants from
various West African countries including Nigeria. This appears to be the
earliest evidence of the strong historical link between Ghana and Nigeria in
the education and training of LIS students. Hence this study tends to study the
challenges in the training and education of library and information science
students.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The study of
the challenges in the training and education of library and information science
students is psychological. It is against this that the researcher sees the
subject matter worthy of investigation to examine how the challenges pose a
threat on the effective training of students of library and information
science.
1.3
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To find
out the challenges faced by students of library and information science?
2. To
identify the attitude of students of LIS towards the training
3. To
discover the perception of the profession by the general public
4. To identify
problems militating against the effective education and training of students of
library and information science.
5. To
proffer solutions to the problems
1.4 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
1. What are
the challenges faced by students of library and information science?
2. What are
the attitudes of LIS students towards the training of their field?
3. What is
the perception of the profession by the general public?
4. What are
the problems militating against the effective education and training of
students of library and information science?
5. What are
the solutions to the problems?
1.5
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
A critical
study of various literatures reveals that efforts have been made in the past to
train and educate the library and information science students therefore, this
research is thus an improvement on earlier ones as it focuses on the challenges
in training and education of library and information science students.
However,
this study will be of immense value to undergraduate students, librarians and researcher?s
in their research on challenges in training and education of library and
information science students.
1.6 SCOPE
AND LIMITATION OF THE STUIDY
The project
covers the challenges of training and education of library and information
science students using the department of library and information science, the
Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa as a comparative study.
