    Significance and Challenges of the Nigerian Library Association to the Development of Library and Information Profession in Nigeria: A Literature Review
    (2020-03-12) Saleh, Idris Ibrahim; Abdullahi, Kasim
    This paper provides a literature review on the Nigerian Library Association (NLA) to the development of library and information profession in Nigeria. It examines the concept of Library Associations and reviews works of literature on the significance of library associations and the Nigerian Library Association for improved professional development in Nigeria. The literature also explored the challenges faced by the Nigerian Library Association towards the development of the library profession. The paper concluded by stressing that for a better and meaningful professional development, the NLA should directly partner with government at all levels for a holistic approach in order to expedite action while designing new policies. The Association should regularly organise and coordinate workshops, seminars and short training courses for members on current trends as not all members participate in NLA annual conferences. NLA should re-strategise its mission objective to improve on the general attainment of NLA objectives in Nigeria
