Courses Under Library and Information Science Degree
On this article, I am going to list out some Library and Information Science course outlines in Nigeria Universities which you will study before you can to become a Library and Information Science graduate. Normally, a course outline should contain; course name, course description, course hours etc… but I am going to skip that information and go straight to Library and Information Science subjects for university students.
I will only list out the course names excluding GST Courses and those courses with part II and III to avoid too much information. There is no guarantee that the listed Library and Information Science subjects (courses) will be fully covered in your school because universities in Nigeria does not use a uniform curriculum.
