A ten year bibliometric analyzes was conducted from 2005-2014 to examine patterns of publication in NigerianLibraries, a frontline national journal in library and information science (LIS) research and publication in Nigeria, published by the Nigerian Library Association (NLA), a professional body of LIS researchers in Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to determine the most productive authors and institutions, extent of research collaboration and trend in keywords/themes/research areas. The results of the study revealed the 7 most productive authors that published in Nigerian Libraries with minimum of 3 papers. In terms of the most productive institutions, the University of Benin, the University of Nigeria, and the University of Ilorin topped the list of the most productive institutions that published in the Nigerian Libraries, while there was a balance between single authorship (50.0%) and joint authorship (collaboration) (50.0%) in published papers. The dominance major keywords/themes/research areas in the study were information technology/information and communication technology, library and information services, and library automation/computerization. The paper concluded that, LIS researchers in Nigeria would in the nearest future join their counterparts in the world to embrace research collaboration. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that, there should be increased funding of LIS research by stakeholders towards increased in productivity among LIS researchers and institutions in Nigeria.

from 2006-2010 was undertaken to determine the most cited journals by graduate students and their availability in the University library. There were 343 journal citations and a cumulative citation frequency of 602. A list of 22 journals cited five times and over was drawn. Out of this 9 (40.9%) journal titles are held by the university library. From the list 5 most cited journals were drawn as the core journals to serve the graduate students research needs. The university library has three (60%) out of these five, which are fairly current but with irregular subscription. Electronic (internet) citations has increased from one in the previous study to 104 presently. Library administrators will value the findings of this study as they are relevant for collection development decision making.
