    (Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal), 2016) Odefadehan, Oluwaseun O.; Akinola, Ayodele; Odefadehan, Olalekan
    Information is a resource of immeasurable value to both rural and urban dwellers. The information available to any individual per time determines to a large extent the decision such an individual will take on issues. The rural areas in Nigeria are often bedeviled with lack of basic infrastructures that could have enhanced the welfare of its inhabitants. Rural areas in Nigeria are characterised with poor roads, lack of pipe borne water, lack of standard schools and health facilities, inadequate or total lack of electricity among others. The information available to the rural man/woman cannot be compared to that of their urban counterparts. The urban dwellers enjoys regular power supply, have opportunity to attend seminars/workshops, have access to standard health facilities; all these give the urban dwellers better exposure to information compared to rural dwellers. This, without missing words will directly or indirectly affect decisions rural dweller will take on issues compared to his/her urban counterparts.

    (Nigerian Library Association Ondo State Chapter, 2019-12) Adegbilero-Iwari, Idowu; Owoeye, Olubunmi I.; Odefadehan, Oluwaseun O.; Christopher, Abraham I.
    The contextual environment of library in the 21st century has given way to diversity of library services. The library has moved from the era of being a place where people come to conduct research or reading to what is now known all over the globe as infonomics; moving from the era of thinking and talking of library information materials as asset but, giving it the economic value that it actually worth. In the same vein, library, no doubt has prominent role to play in sustainability of hospitality and tourism development which has great influence on the nation’s economic growth and sustainability. Hospitality and tourism can be promoted and sustained through bibliotourism. This paper therefore, expounds the concept of bibliotourism and its influence on sustainability of hospitality and tourism development. For libraries in Nigeria to successfully court tourism to harness bibliotourism, concerted effort must be made by the government and all stakeholders in information profession to make our libraries centers of excellence and attraction. The paper therefore recommends that the library must be architecturally imposing exuding beauty and awe as is usually found of libraries in other nations and offer dynamic services and resources that catch the fancy of all people.
