Title: Library departmentalization: Their influence on publication output among librarians in Nigerian universities Authors: Edem, U. Selong; Atinmo, Morayo I. Abstract: A questionnaire survey of 202 librarians from 28 university libraries in Nigeria was conducted to determine the influence of various library departments on publication output among librarians in Nigerian universities over a period of 1985-1992.
