Nigerian newapaper collections are managed
mostly in serials and a few readers' services
departments, which are inadequately staffed.
Newspapers are ineffectively indexed and
cuttings are organized in only a few libraries.
Very few are bound, microfilmed or deacidified.
They are accommodated with books, journals,
and so on and weeded after a few years for lack
of space. The National Library of Nigeria is urged
to evolve a Nigerian Newspapers Project for the
indexing, preservation and conservation of
Nigerian newspapers.
