ABSTRACT
The study of the challenges in the training and education
of library and information science students is psychological. It is
against this that the researcher sees the subject matter worthy of
investigation to examine how the challenges pose a threat on the
effective training of students of library and information science.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Library and information science (LIS)
training and education play a significant role in the production of high
quality LIS students who occupy a unique position in national
development. LIS students are gatekeepers and brokers of information
which is essential for knowledge acquisition, decision-making and
national development. The success of library, archives and information
centre?s in effectively meeting their obligation of information
provision is hinged, in part, on the development of skilled manpower.
Trained
personnel, according to Korsah (1996) are a key requirement in library
and information work. In this respect, LIS education plays a vital role
(Edegbo, 2011). Although early LIS students, particularly librarians did
not undergo any formal training (Wikipedia, nd.), the modern day
challenges of library and information work require that personnel should
be well-trained and educated to make for effectiveness.
Melvin
Dewey, the famous proponent of the Dewey Decimal Classification System
was said to have established the first library school in the United
States in 1887 at Columbia University (Wikipedia, n.d.). In Europe, the
library School established in Barcelona in 1915 is reputed to be the
oldest library school in that continent. Many other library schools were
said to have been established during the Second World War. In Africa,
however, South Africa is credited with the longest history of LIS in the
continent dating from 1938 (Ocholla, 2007).
In West Africa, the
earliest formal training in librarianship consisted of short courses
organized by practicing librarians and these were aimed solely at
preparing the participants for the British Library Association
examinations (Ojo-Igbinoba, 1995) which then constituted the only
gateway for aspiring librarians (Aguolu and Aguolu, 2002). One of such
courses took place in Achimota College, Gold Coast (now Ghana) in 1944
and it drew participants from various West African countries including
Nigeria. This appears to be the earliest evidence of the strong
historical link between Ghana and Nigeria in the education and training
of LIS students. Hence this study tends to study the challenges in the
training and education of library and information science students.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The study of the challenges in the
training and education of library and information science students is
psychological. It is against this that the researcher sees the subject
matter worthy of investigation to examine how the challenges pose a
threat on the effective training of students of library and information
science.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To find out the challenges faced by students of library and information science?
2. To identify the attitude of students of LIS towards the training
3. To discover the perception of the profession by the general public
4. To identify problems militating against the effective education and training of students of library and information science.
5. To proffer solutions to the problems
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What are the challenges faced by students of library and information science?
2. What are the attitudes of LIS students towards the training of their field?
3. What is the perception of the profession by the general public?
4. What are the problems militating against the effective education and training of students of library and information science?
5. What are the solutions to the problems?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
A critical study of various
literatures reveals that efforts have been made in the past to train and
educate the library and information science students therefore, this
research is thus an improvement on earlier ones as it focuses on the
challenges in training and education of library and information science
students.
However, this study will be of immense value to
undergraduate students, librarians and researcher?s in their research on
challenges in training and education of library and information science
students.
1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUIDY
The project covers the
challenges of training and education of library and information science
students using the department of library and information science, the
Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa as a comparative study.
