- W74476932 abstract "IntroductionThe library is an indispensable facility of any educational institution. A well- equipped library is therefore very crucial to the education and general information needs of the public. This is why the thought of stocking library with adequate information resources readily comes to mind when an institution is to be established. Academic library which is one of the types of libraries is library attached to tertiary institutions such as universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, colleges of agriculture, colleges of technology and also research institutes (Akporhonor, 2005).Preservation is the action taken to anticipate, prevent, stop, or slow deterioration. It can also be described as the art of anticipating and preventing decay (Baker, 1981). The library plays a crucial role of protecting and preserving information-bearing materials from distortion, deterioration, and eventual loss. Preservation according to Smith (1993) is the art of managing risk to the intellectual and physical heritage of a community. Preservation is a branch of library and information science concerned with maintaining or restoring access to artefacts, documents and records through the study, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of decay and damage.Preservation as a collection management strategy has been relegated if not totally neglected by librarians and documentalists for a very long time in Africa, especially in Nigeria. This underscores the indispensability of preserving and conserving library materials to ensure their constant availability to library users. Therefore, knowledge of the causes of deterioration of library materials is essential for all librarians and others who are concerned about the preservation and conservation of information stored in books and non-books formats.Preserving for the sake of preserving is useless and giving access lavishly to all documents without taking into account preservation measures will, sooner or later, lead to making the documentary heritage inaccessible for future generations (Varlamoff, 2005). Also, Singh and Kaur (2009) stressed that preservation and access to knowledge and information are the main mandate of academic libraries alongside supporting the mission of their parent institutions which is teaching and research. For decades, librarians have tended to mix up preservation with conservation and all efforts have concentrated on the curative treatment of single documents. Conservation and restoration are the most central activities of preservation; they are concerned with the physical maintenance and repair of documentary material.Colleges of Education libraries in Nigeria today face a lot of problems owing to the deterioration of their holdings at varying levels. Notably among these problems are the library collections, especially paper-based, which are acquired without allocation of adequate resources, (financial and human) to address their future deterioration, lack of proper recognition of the need for preservation and restoration of information resources. Most library managers fail to realize that preservation of information resources is a component of the issues they have to contend with. In addition, no training is given to library staff and there is a generally low awareness about preservation issues especially on the deteriorative tendencies of information materials and what could be done to prevent their deterioration. In some cases, libraries do not have preservation polices and as a result, there is neither preservation plan nor program to ensure safekeeping of library collections.Undergraduate project is a compulsory empirical research undertaken by undergraduates both in Nigerian Universities and Colleges of Education that are affiliated to Nigerian Universities. It is written under the supervision of project supervisors. It is divided into five chapters, which are: Introduction, Review of related literature, Research design and procedure, Analysis of data and discussion of results, Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations. …" @default.
