Item Festivals in Nigeria: a bibliography(The department of culture, Federal Ministry of Youth, sports and culture, P.M. B 12524, Lagos, 1981) Ekpenyong, G. D.or national awareness for the revival of our cultural heritage. It is hoped that Nigerians and aliens resident in Nigeria, researchers in African studies, would find this publication a guide to a better knowledge of the cultural heritage and diversity of the peoples of Nigeira. It is necessary to emphasise, however that although this is a pioneering effort to record all the known and unknown traditional festivals held annually or in some cases, after a long interval of time, this bibliography is by no means exhaustive.Item Card catalogue expansion in Ibadan university library(National library of Nigeria, 1980-01-01) Ekpenyong, G. D.Item Faculty status for Nigerian university librarians: the Ibadan university case(University of Ibadan, 1980-12) Ekpenyong, G. D.The fight for faculty status by university librarians has been on for more than a century and is still being debated the world over today. The writer outlines the meaning of faculty status and how it affects university librarians in developing country- Nigeria. Suggested solutions to this problem are made including the recognisation of the Ibadan university library step-up to reflect a faculty with corresponding faculty titles and ranks.Item Card catalogue maintenance and accessibility of materials(Nigerbiblios, 1982) Ekpenyong, G. D.Item Toward an integrated agricultural information consolidation scheme for farmers in the Nigerian rural areas(1987) Oladele, B. A.It is assumed that farmers in the Nigerian rural areas require three types of information: technology-oriented, product-demand oriented, and input-supply oriented. Extension workers have been disseminating the first type of information to the inadvertent neglect of the other two types. The farmers have not been able to take advantage of product-demand and input-supply information because of their distance from the source of this information. The high incidence of illiteracy among farmers renders a normal print medium unacceptable in the dissemination of information. A new approach toward agricultural information handling and dissemination methods is proposed. Agricultural librarians in Nigerian should reprocess and repackage this information in more appropriate media. The repackaged information could be disseminated by the extension workers in conjunction with technology information. A much closer and complimentary cooperation between extension workers and agricultural librarians is needed to achieve this.
