• W192481485 abstract "Introduction: The library and information science educators are concerned with production of competent and dedicated professionals in management of acquisition, organization and information dissemination in libraries. Saleh (2012) pointed out library education tied up with general social and political history of country and as such, those who aspired to become Librarians went to Britain to qualify for Associate Library Association (ALA). (Saleh, 2012: http://Unllib.Unl.edu/lpp/gambo_saleh.htm). Prior to 1960, the Carnegie Corporation sponsored two studies in 1939 and 1940 to survey library needs of West Africa with a view to formalizing its training ( Saleh, 2012: http://Unllib.Unl.edu/lpp/gambo_saleh.htm). Awareness in library profession in Nigeria was buttressed by arrival of John as Librarian of University College Ibadan in 1948 Dean, (.1966) as recorded in Saleh, (2012). He also stated Harris was not only instrumental to development of University College Library but also organized Native Authority Libraries in 1950, first organized library training course. (Saleh, 2012: http://Unllib.Unl.edu/lpp/gambo_saleh.htm). These pioneering efforts stimulated successive activities geared toward professional librarianship and library education in Nigeria. Thus, in 1952, Joan Allen organized library training course for reading room attendants under Northern Regional Library service, while in East, Eastern Regional Library Board was created in 1935. The Board introduced a training course for Library Assistants in 1956. (Saleh, 2012: http://Unllib.Unl.edu/lpp/gambo_saleh.htm). Then in 1953, there was a UNESCO Seminar on Public Library Development in Africa which was held at Ibadan (Aguolu and Mohammed,1987)..The UNESCO Seminar of 1953 created a floodgate for establishment of Library schools in country. The first library school was established at University of Ibadan in 1960 The Library School began with one year basic professional programme leading to award of a post-graduate diploma. A second library school was set up at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria in 1968. This library school mounted undergraduate programmes leading to award of Bachelor of Library Science.( Saleh, 2012). A third library school was set up at University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1983. (Nwaogu, 1986). The library school also mounted undergraduate programmes leading to award of Bachelor of Library Science. As need arose for more library professionals, other library schools were founded in Federal, State and Private Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education in Nigeria. These Library Institutions were raised to offer mainly traditional librarianship education. Presently, library educators have to contend with emerging information technologies. These technologies demand acquisition of necessary competencies to enable them remain relevant in world of information education. Competencies: Marshall et al (2003) define competencies as interplay of knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes required to do a job effectively from point of view of both performer and observer. They identified two types of competencies for special Librarians. The first type are professional competencies which relate to knowledge in areas of information resources access, technology, management and research and ability to use these areas of knowledge to provide library and information services.. The other comprises personal competencies which represent a set of skills, attitudes and values that enable librarians to work effectively, be good communicators, be able to focus on continuing learning throughout their careers, be able to demonstrate value added nature of their contributions, and survive in new world of work' (Marshal et.al. 2003, http://www.sla.org/content/SLA/professional/meaning/competency. …" @default.
