While libraries of all kinds in Nigeria have many problems, some medical libraries are well established and are giving the services expected of such libraries anywhere. In current conditions of restricted finance and distance from metropolitan countries, consultation and cooperation in serials acquisitions together with union catalogs of serials would be of great value. Modern copying methods make this practical. Union catalogs of monographs would also be valuable. Two new major medical libraries are projected-one half-built, the other still at the planning stage. Each must be planned to give area services rather than purely local and internal services.
虽然尼日利亚各类图书馆存在诸多问题,但一些医学图书馆已颇具规模,并提供着各地此类图书馆应有的服务。在当前资金有限且与大都市国家距离较远的情况下,连续出版物采购方面的咨询与合作以及连续出版物联合目录将极具价值。现代复制方法使这变得切实可行。专著联合目录也会很有价值。预计将新建两所大型医学图书馆,一所已建成一半,另一所仍处于规划阶段。每所图书馆都必须规划为提供区域服务,而非纯粹的本地和内部服务。
