Title: An Assessment of the School Library Literature in Nigeria, with Emphasis on the Impact of School Libraries on Educational Performance.
Abstract: The school/library resource centre was popularized as an integral component of pre-tertiary education, particularly from the turn of the twentieth century. Many librarians and educators have conducted investigations into the relevance of the school library and the relationship between such an institution and learning generally. Most of these studies, however, were conducted in the developed countries. In Nigeria, few studies have investigated the place of the school library in education. This paper reiterates the invaluable educational role of the school library, and reviews the various attempts made to uncover the wide-ranging effects of the provision and use of collections of school learning resources. Only the literature considered highly significant has been reviewed.
