Content Enrichment And Quality Assurance In Nigerian Libraries

Libraries have continued to evolve over the years and, one of the current trends in librarianship is content enrichment. It is about how a user can access digital contents of a material on the web at a glance using added bibliographic details like table of contents, reviews and biographic details of the author etc, thereby enabling the user to make a better decision if that document is truly what the user wants. Content enrichment thrives in digital environment especially on the web. Users are expected to have adequate satisfaction and make effective use of library resources. To do this, quality assurance is necessary as it ensures that clients have the least difficulties (if any) in utilising digital services. This study therefore, x-rays how librarians in Nigeria can utilise the web technologies to serve their users effectively irrespective of time and place. The study highlighted some of the challenges of content enrichment and quality assurance in libraries and offers recommendations which might help clients to enhance access, visibility and usage of library resources.
