dc.description.abstractIt is observed that no organisation particularly the type of Law Libraries investigated can survive well without effective management and support enjoyed from the authorities concerned. This study is based on the management, use and services of Law Libraries in the Northern States of Nigeria. They are the States High Court and the Ministry of Justice Libraries in Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, Plateau and Sokoto. Investigation was carried out to critically examine their management, use and services. The survey research method was adopted for the conduct of the study while questionnaire was used to collect data. It was found that:- Five of the ten libraries were headed by para-professionals (2) No Library controls library vote and neither maintains an imprest. (3) The majority of the Chief Executives of the Ministry of Justice and High Court Law Libraries to whom the Librarian were responsible to usually interfered with their professional duties. (4) Non of the Libraries existed as an independent department. (5) Non of the Libraries had a written acquisition policy. (6) The following services were offered by the Law Libraries: Lending, Reference, Abstracting, Indexing, Bibliographic, Selective Dissemination of Information and Noter-upservices. (7) Lending services received maximum attention by the libraries. (8) Based on the above finding it is concluded that the libraries do not meet the special library standards required for a law library if one considers quality and quantity of their (viii) staff strength, materials and services provided and their physical facilities. (9) The use of the library is mainly by the Lawyers who were found not to care much about rules and regulations of the library, particularly when it comes to returning library books borrowed. On the basis of the findings in this study several recommendations have been proposed aimed at improving the management, services and use of the Northern States Law Libraries and other special libraries in Nigeria.en_US
