Abstract
The study on teachers' perception of Diploma in Library and Information
Science (DLIS) curriculum of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria was conducted to
find out whether it conforms to entrepreneurial skills. This is becaue the
programme has grown so popular that it has produced large number of students
who find it difficult to secure white collar jobs after graduation because of the
keen competition in the world of jobs. Two research questions guided the
researcher. Survey research design was used in carrying out the study while
questionnaire that was validated by senior lecturers and above of Library and
Information Science was used as instrument for data collection. Four-point
Likert-scale instrument with midpoint for the scale as 2.50 was used. The study

below 2.50 and therefore, it was concluded that the curriculum is inadequate
and irrelevant to entrepreneurial skills acquisition. It was recommended that
the curriculum be reviewed to include infusion of entrepreneurial skills
