Abstract

The aspect of the Nigerian national educational policy which touches on the training of librarians and library assistants within the context of the secondary school is examined. The recommendations of Ogunleye and others of one teacher‐librarian and one library assistant as the minimum standard for secondary school library personnel in Nigeria were employed to carry out a survey of the manpower available in secondary schools in Ondo State. Eight‐four secondary schools participated in the study. Results show that most teacher‐librarians had no exposure to librarianship before appointment and that training has not been organised on the job to change the situation, in most cases years after appointment. Recommendations include arrangements whereby university libraries are involved in the training of teacher‐librarians and library assistants.
