    Music Librarianship in Nigerian University Libraries
    (Department of Music, Obafemi Awolowo University, lle-lfe, Nigeria, 2002) Adegboye, O.A
    The above conception gives an apt description of the concerns of every good information service in general and particularly Music Librarianship in Nigerian University Libraries. The library remains an agent of posterity charged with the responsibility of transmitting information (including cultural values of a people from generation to generation) with a view of educating and enhancing the utilization of such information by their potential clientele. To this end, the library has been described as an organization primarily charged with the responsibility of selecting, acquiring, processing, preserving and disseminating different forms of information (Adegboye, 1998: 12). The nature of library services as explained above, therefore makes the profession cross-disciplinary. The Librarian stands as a 'specialist in information management and as a 'generalist' as he tries to 'befriend all areas of knowledge (Adegboye, 1998: 12).

    America has succeeded in evolving a political system that is both enviable and significant in world politics in the last two centuries. The system of governance and the electoral processes have been institutionalized. Peace and serenity characterised the electoral scene in America and this calls for a salient question. What is the trick?: The flow of information is not a luxury. It is a life and death necessity; life and death for industries, for communities, for nations economic health, for survival, for deterrence of war, for progress, for posterity. This is not an exaggeration, it is a hard fact.' There is no doubt that in any process of enlightenment, political in particular, information services provided in a nation are of immense importance. America has succeeded in operating a system of governance with a lesser degree of confusion that obtains in many other nations. So far, America has held a total of forty-two elections since the declaration of independence in 1776. Even though there are many elements that have contributed to the success and progress of their political culture, the nation's body politics has in its wheels a dynamic information system. This paper seeks to take an overview of the American system of government and discuss the role of information services in the electoral processes. It also discusses implications for Nigeria.
