Item Indigenous language publishing and national development: the yoruba language example(Department of Teacher Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2007-12) Akangbe, C. A.Language is a very unique human property and communication is one of its overriding goals. Communication enables man to interact with another, extend himself to others, expand his frontiers of knowledge and experience. Though the whole process of communication which can be at different levels is a complex one. mass communication is the most intricate as it is a mass mediated forum for reaching several people simultaneously. Each of the two subsets of mass communication — the print and electronic media has multifarious channels out of which publishing is notable. Publishing is indeed the horse on which meaningful development rides. Since a tree must be climbed from the bottom, indigenous language publishing occupies the root of meaningful education, which is the veritable sine qua non of both individual and national development. In this era of civil rule, it is the onus of the government and policy makers to reposition indigenous language publishing for mass mobilisation, social re-engineering and stable polity. This paper sets out to examine and relate the place of Yoruba language publications to national development in the Nigerian heterogenous society.Item Book publishing and its challenges: the Nigeria experience(Communication Studies Forum (CSF)| Department of Mass Communication, Faculty of Arts, University of Nigeria, Nsukka., 2007-12) Kalejaye, O.

Recommendations made are as follows: adequate funding should be provided by the founding institution; ICT facilities must be provided for Processing and dissemination of information; formulation of functional collection development policy should be encouraged at the school library level; school heads should locate themselves at the centre of the school library activities because such efforts are mostly rewarding hence the duo should collaborate; schools are encouraged to recruit well-trained librarians and support them in their effort to further improve their skills and competence; and teacher/school librarians’ curricula should be tailored in line with the identified millennium challenges. This paper concluded that only those librarians that are receptive to professional developments would be able to cope with the future dictates of the librarianship profession.Item Meeting information needs of professionals working with otherwise-able students in Nigerian tertiary institutions: Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo as a case study(2006) Olaojo, P.
