The Recognition of Women Librarians in Nigeria: An Evaluative Study

Abstract

Using documentary sources, the contribution of female librarians in Nigeria to library development from 1960 to 2000 was examined. The study revealed that only few female women librarians were appreciated and cited in Nigerian biographical works. The status and role of women librarians in Nigeria revealed an explicit pattern of discrimination. The remarkable contribution of women librarians to library education, professional activities, including research and publication output was discussed in the paper.
