Abstract

The paper presents a survey of cataloguers in Nigerian academic libraries. With the use of a questionnaire, it attempts to identify the cataloguers' demography and work practices. It then attempts to explain the result as inferred satisfaction. Tables of frequency and percentages were used for data presentation. Findings reveal that the respondents possess higher education, but despite accumulated years of work experience, they have fewer publications. They generally adopt work redistribution among other cataloguers. Sixty-one percent (61%) spend an average of three to six hours daily on cataloguing, classification and indexing. In general, the cataloguers expressed high job satisfaction. Keywords : Career advancement, academic libraries, productivity, motivation, job satisfaction.
