| dc.description.abstract | The Library as one of the most valuable social institution continues to gain recognition in Nigeria, The research shows the significance of library service as the nerve - centre for the overall programme of the theological seminary. A look at the history of the institutions studied stressed this fact - the four theological seminaries investigated had it on their master-plans - a place for the library. It also highlights areas of strengths and weaknesses on the part of seminary administration, the librarians themselves, academic staff, students and especially the alumni of theological institutions towards the library and its services. No teacher ever teaches all that students need to know in any school system; hence the need for lecturers/ instructors to include in their lessons issues which would challenge students into the library - an indispensable supplement to classroom work; and make them emulate the Bereans (Acts 171 1 ). The study appreciates the creditable role of service which the missionaries have played in these libraries and shows how qualified Nigerians should be encouraged to take up jobs in theological seminary libraries. Highlights the need for a written collection (vi) development policy for all libraries. The need for inter-library loan cooperation among theological libraries cannot be overemphasized in view of our harsh times. The research suggests the constitution, composition and functions of seminary library committees. And in a bid to foster growth, formation of a viable professional Special Library Association in Nigeria is strongly recommended. | en_US |
