Managing newspaper collections in Nigeria

Abstract

Nigerian newapaper collections are managed mostly in serials and a few readers' services departments, which are inadequately staffed. Newspapers are ineffectively indexed and cuttings are organized in only a few libraries. Very few are bound, microfilmed or deacidified. They are accommodated with books, journals, and so on and weeded after a few years for lack of space. The National Library of Nigeria is urged to evolve a Nigerian Newspapers Project for the indexing, preservation and conservation of Nigerian newspapers.
