ABSTRACT
A study is made of developments in serials librarianship in Nigeria during the past decade. Evidence shows that serials collections in Nigerian academic and special libraries are generally small. However there was considerable growth in the collections during the period. Efforts are made through current awareness services to assist users to exploit the collections.
There is adequate arrangement for bibliographic control of serials though this is impaired by the ignorance of publishers. Various efforts at interlibrary cooperation, production of union lists of serials and automation have not yielded very fruitful results.
