Introduction

The Department of Library Science began to offer the professional degree programme, leading to the award of Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) in 1978. Since then, it has graduated hundreds of Librarians, employed in various types of Libraries and related institutions like the archives or publishing enterprises in different parts of the country. It is the first Department offering professional programme in Library and Information Science in North-Eastern Nigeria.

Having enhanced its trained manpower capability with the Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) Programme, operating for more than ten years now, the Department is faced with pressing demand for doctoral programme. The programme is designed to train academics and professionals with relevant theoretical knowledge in the field of Library and Information Science for public and private sectors and develop advanced management personnel with technical and conceptual skills for the organisation and administration of modern libraries and related institutions. The programme will also produce teaching personnel for Departments of Library and Information Science where the possession of a doctorate qualification is a prerequisite to advancement beyond Lecturer I and its equivalent rank in the University Libraries. The Department of Library and Information Science is sufficiently equipped with modern technologies, such as computers, micrographics and audio-visual media and a sufficient number of staff with doctorate degrees to mount the programme.

Objectives of the Programme The objectives of the programme are to: (i) train academics and professionals with relevant theoretical knowledge in the field of Library and Information Science for public and private sectors; (ii) develop advanced management personnel with technical and conceptual skills for the organisation and administration of modern libraries and related institutions; (iii) produce teaching personnel for Departments of Library and Information Science in the Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
