What is NLA?

Nigerian Library Association is the recognized group for librarians working in Nigeria. It was established in 1962 in Ibadan.

Introduction

The Nigerian Library Association (NLA) started as a Division of the West African Library Association (WALA). WALA was established in 1954 as an offshoot after a UNESCO seminar on the Development of Public Libraries in Africa held at Ibadan in 1953. With the political independence from colonial rule of Anglophone West African countries in the late 1950s and early 1960s, WALA national Divisions transformed into National Library Associations of their respective countries, thus giving birth to the Nigerian Library Association (NLA) in 1962.

           

Objectives

  •  The objectives of the Nigerian Library Association include the following:
  • To unite persons interested in Libraries, Librarianship and Information services;
  • To safeguard and promote the professional interests of librarians;
  • To promote the establishment and development of libraries and information centers;
  • To watch legislation affecting libraries and assist in the promotion of such legislation as may be considered necessary for the establishment, regulation and management of libraries within Nigeria;
  • To promote and encourage bibliographical study, research and library cooperation and;
  • To do all lawful things as are incidental and conducive to the attainment of the above objectives.

 

Structure

The supreme organ of the Nigerian Library Association is the Council which consists of the Executive Committee, eight elected Councilors, Chairmen of all State Chapters and the Federal Capital Territory as well as Chairmen of special interest groups (Sections). The current NLA President is Prof. Innocent Isa Ekoja[5] (2019 - present).[6] Individual members of the Association now numbering about 5,000 drawn from various types of libraries, would usually belong, in the first instance, to one of the 37 States/FCT chapters or/and one or more of the thirteen special interest groups.


Special Interest Groups

  • The thirteen special interest groups currently in existence are:
  •  Academic and Research Libraries (ARL)
  • Association of Government Libraries (AGOL)
  • Association of News Media Librarians of Nigeria (ANLON)
  • Association of Women Librarians in Nigeria (AWLIN)
  • Cataloguing, Classification and Indexing (CAT & CLASS)
  • Nigerian Association of Law Libraries (NALL)
  • National Association of Library & Information Science Educators (NALISE)
  • Public Libraries Section(PLS)
  • Information Technology Section (ITS)
  • Nigerian School Library Association (NSLA)
  • Association of Libraries for Visually Handicapped (ALVH)
  • Preservation and Conservation Section (PCS)
  • Medical Libraries Section (MDLS).
  • Nigerian Library and Information Science Students' Association (N-LISSA)
