Globalization of Information and the Nigerian Librarian

Abstract

The globalization of information is strongly identified with information and communications technologies (ICTs). The Nigerian librarian may be constrained from maximizing ICT usage and application but has many opportunities and new possibilities for the future in a globalized economic system. The paper suggests that the local, state, and federal governments in Nigeria should increase the budget allocations and resources allocated to education and information as investments in the human capital required to maximize the benefits of ICT applications in a globalized system.
