Academic Library Partnership as Strategic Tool for Proactive Library Services in Nigeria:- Amogu, Uma K
Abstract
This study
examines strategic partnership among academic libraries in Nigeria. It
discusses the rationale for resource sharing and networking particularly in
this present Technological Age. It also discusses practical steps and
structures necessary for resource sharing, areas of cooperation, funding,
justification for resource sharing and practical examples of partnership among
academic libraries. The study revealed that the prospect for strategic
partnership among academic libraries in Nigeria is high. The paper equally
looked at factors affecting effective partnership among academic libraries in
Nigeria, which include inadequate funding; a dearth of skilled librarians,
power outages, absence of web accessible online public access catalogues
(OPACs), uneven development of libraries, and slow progress of library
automation, and inactive cooperation among libraries. The paper recommends that
libraries should seek for workable partnership efforts, Partnering libraries
should examine the partnership mission in the light of individual and
institutional values before venturing into it among others.
