Abstract |
In this knowledge economy and digital age, there is a need for wealth-building ventures as government jobs or employment in industries and companies are scarce globally compared to the numbers of millions of graduates and professionals in the labour market at the national and international levels. Thus, entrepreneurship is a key, crucial and deciding factor for employment and economic growth. This should span into all fields where pieces of training and retraining will be offered on entrepreneurship which boils down to integrating it into the curriculum of all disciplines, library and information science inclusive. Hence, there should be a nexus between Library and Information Science Students in Nigerian Library Schools and entrepreneurship whereby they will be adequately trained on the subject for relevance and sustainability in the 21st century to ensure balanced economic development and growth for national security.
