dc.description.abstractThis study is based on the documentary source of the 2010 publication of National Library of Nigeria (NLN) titled "Nominal list of practicing librarians in Nigeria". The publication was consulted page by page to examine the variables attributed to each librarian listed. Listed librarians were counted to determine their total number. A first degree in librarianship (BLS) or other degree plus a qualifying study certificate in librarianship were used to determine who actually qualifies for this study. Data gathered are tabulated with responses, frequencies and percentages. Under each table is the analysis of its contents followed by interpretations. The study found out among others that there is no provision for gender status, many practicing librarians were not listed, no proper definition of who actually qualifies to be listed as "practicing librarian", and research interests of librarians vary significantly with their areas of specialization. The study recommends provision of gender status, that NLN should partner with NLA to achieve an accurate list of practicing librarians' change the title of the publication to "comprehensive list of practicing librarians, and provide proper description of who qualifies to be listed as a librarian.en_US
