Abstract

Most academic libraries in Nigeria have retained the traditional organisational structure based on two broad divisions – reader services and technical services. Observes that developments in academic libraries have made the conventional structure inadequate and less functional. Examines the inadequacies, using the University of Ilorin as an example. Proposes a function organisation structure which groups library activities into four main divisions – access services, information services, special collections and training activities. Advises on the implementation of restructuring and the barriers the libraries are likely to face. Suggests the formation of an overall steering committee, and functionally oriented task forces that will undertake the analysis of library activities for restructuring.
