Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the information entrepreneurial
services of the public libraries in southeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria.
The survey design was adopted for the work. The population comprised
of forty-seven librarians of the five library boards in the zone. The
instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire while the data
was analyzed using the percentages and the mean. The findings revealed,
among others, that most of the requisite entrepreneurial services are not
available in the libraries and as such the extent of providing the services
was low. It was recommended among others that the public libraries
should introduce information related entrepreneurial services and
enlighten the members of the community about the potentials of these
services for their overall development. Also government support is
recommended for the provision of ICT infrastructures required for the
services.
