Abstract

Tertiary institutions train manpower for national development. Primary and secondary levels of education are foundational. Tertiary education is geared towards manpower training. Thus, addressing manpower development for any nation is embedded in the various programmes offered in the tertiary curricula of which Library and Information Science is among. The library in the tertiary institutions serving teaching, learning and research purpose for personal, community and of course national development is academic library. Hence the medium of communication both in teaching and learning as well as collection development handled by the library professionals to serve every discipline in the tertiary education: university, college of education and polytechnic is a key factor. The medium of communication is language whether verbal, written or sign. Language is the only medium for idea/information/knowledge acquisition and transfer. Hence education whether formal or informal is through language and this is best achieved in the language the teacher and learner understands.
