Committed to assisting teaching, learning, research and community services and enhancing the best possible use of these libraries, many academic libraries in Nigeria have creatively and innovatively improved upon service delivery using a variety of ways and approaches.

The paper also highlights the products and services as well as the approaches that the librarians have adopted in meeting the ever changing needs of their clients.
