DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) IN LIBRARY AND

INFORMATION SCIENCE BY RESEARCH
Introduction
The Department of Library Science began to offer the professional degree
programme, leading to the award of Bachelor of Library and Information Science
(BLIS) in 1978. Since then, it has graduated hundreds of Librarians, employed in
various types of Libraries and related institutions like the archives or publishing
enterprises in different parts of the country. It is the first Department offering
professional programme in Library and Information Science in North-Eastern Nigeria.
Having enhanced its trained manpower capability with the Master of Library and
Information Science (MLIS) Programme, operating for more than ten years now, the
Department is faced with pressing demand for doctoral programme. The programme
is designed to train academics and professionals with relevant theoretical knowledge
in the field of Library and Information Science for public and private sectors and
develop advanced management personnel with technical and conceptual skills for
the organisation and administration of modern libraries and related institutions. The
programme will also produce teaching personnel for Departments of Library and
Information Science where the possession of a doctorate qualification is a
prerequisite to advancement beyond Lecturer I and its equivalent rank in the
University Libraries.
The Department of Library and Information Science is sufficiently equipped with
modern technologies, such as computers, micrographics and audio-visual media and
a sufficient number of staff with doctorate degrees to mount the programme.
The objectives of the programme are to:
(i)
train academics and professionals with relevant theoretical knowledge in the
field of Library and Information Science for public and private sectors;
(ii)
develop advanced management personnel with technical and conceptual skills
for the organisation and administration of modern libraries and related
institutions;
(iii)
produce teaching personnel for Departments of Library and Information
Science in the Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
