Abstract: This paper examined the role of the libraries and librarians in promoting national security in Nigeria. The objective of the paper was to show that the libraries and librarians can contribute effectively in the fight against terrorism through effective propaganda; collection and dissemination of information; mobilizing the citizens through civic education and bridging of ideological and religious divides. The paper however stressed that national security is an all-embracing term that deals with the protection of the interest of a nation. It is in this regard that the libraries have a social responsibility in national security. It recommended more government funding to achieve this task and re-organization of training curriculum of future librarians to include national security.

Abstract: Reading habits and comprehension has featured in scholarly publication in the past years. And this particular study sees how demographic factors can be a determinant of reading habits and comprehension of undergraduate students in their use of library resources. However, the degree of commitment of students to reading habits and comprehension has no joint effect on demographic factors; the study takes a cursory look at how demographic factors are determinant of reading habits and comprehension of undergraduate students. The study adopted the descriptive research design, purposive sampling technique also used with the sample size of five hundred (500) undergraduate students taken from some selected departments, using all levels of study.

Abstract: The curriculum programme in Nigeria has been facing serious set backs in skills acquisition. In most cases do not have the practical skills related to their area of specialization. This is as a result of the failure of the educational system to provide the expected equipment and workshop required in the training. Hence, graduation in all the strata of educational system does not have the competence to use their skills in their future endeavour. It is in recognition if the above, this paper develops an integration model for basic education programme, which will go a long way in providing entrepreneurial skills to the basic education programme graduates, that will ultimately provide employment opportunities for the products and consequently develop a peaceful atmosphere among the Nigeria youth.

Abstract: The implementation of the current educational system in Nigeria 6-3-3-4 as far back as 1980, was intended to device a new approach in providing an employment opportunities for the ever growing youth in Nigeria. The system in view, has all the needed characteristics to expose the senior secondary school learners with a life sustaining employment, unfortunately, for over three decades of the existence of this system (6-3-3-4) it has failed in achieving this noble objective. Greater population of secondary school leavers that could not continue with higher education due to lack of university requirement for admission or lack of the financial ability to sponsor their higher education, end up with a bleak future in our society today.

Abstract: This study investigated the relevance of school community relationship on the development of primary education in Azare metropolis of Bauchi state, Nigeria. The population of the study comprises of headmasters and their assistants, teachers and SBMC members totaling to 2,752. The sample used was 388 selected using disproportionate stratified random sampling techniques. The data for the study was collected through structured questionnaire and were analyzed using frequency and simple percentage. It was found out that school community relationship is very relevant in the development of primary education in Azare metropolis due to the fact that community provides lands for building schools, funds, facilities, supervise what is going on in school, build additional classrooms and help in the maintenance of indiscipline. It was also found out that the school on the other hand, has resources which it uses to improve school community relationship and ultimately develops education which, include classrooms, play grounds, halls, surroundings, information dissemination to community and making itself available for consultations.

Abstract: Through evaluation of an educational program, implementers are able to tell whether the desired outcomes are achieved. In addition other factors such as curriculum, availability of learning materials and equipment, exposure to target industries and information technology come into play in determining the success of an educational program. Globally, most countries rely on Fashion and apparel design (FAD) educational training programs for the supply of skilled manpower for their fashion and apparel industries (FA). This skilled manpower for FA industries is highly required for the success of trade in African countries,.

Abstract: Home health care (HHC) is that health services are provided to individuals and families in their places of residence in order to promote, maintain or restore health, or maximize the level of independence, while minimizing the effects of disability and illness, including terminal illness. Due to the steady increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, aging population, and hospital costs, home health care has become an essential component of the healthcare system in developed countries. This has helped to reduce the length of hospital stay, increase the desire of patients and relatives to avoid prolonged expensive hospital care particularly at the end of the patient's life, decrease the risk of cross-infection, and preserve the identity, comfort, and satisfaction of the patient and his family.

Abstract: Teachers, who are the steersmen of education. So the ideology of a good teacher will be reflected in a worthy nation. There is no alternative to make a world class teacher for spreading ourselves worldwide as well as to develop the standard of the nation. A poor nation remains poor in the standard of knowledge as long as it is run by improper teaching of incompetent teachers in the insincere, hollow society. Excellency in brilliance alone is not a standard to justify teachers..

Abstract: The quality of teaching and learning mathematics has been one of the major challenges and concerns of educators. If we consider a group of students, a few students are found to be high achievers on the one hand and a few are low achievers on the other. The question arises why such a difference in achievement appears? Is this difference due to certain factors? or Is there any single factor or host of factors which account for all the differences in mathematics achievement ?

Abstract: In the recent past, the Asian countries have thrived in international apparel and textile trade, which is a great determinant of the success of a country's economy globally. One reason behind the success of their apparel and textile trade is their training programs in fashion and apparel design (FAD). Poor fashion quality in Kenya is attributed to incompetent fashion designers..

Abstract: The spectral properties (absorption and fluorescence) of Rhodamine B dye have been studied. This type of dye belong to the Xanthenes family and it was dissolved in chloroform with different concentrations (3×10-5, 8×10-5,8×10-4, 5×10-4,2×10-4and 2×10-3 mole/liter) at room temperature. The achieved results have been pointed out there are a blue shift in the absorption spectra and red shift in the fluorescence spectra as the concentration increased. The quantum efficiency of the dissolved RB in chloroform were (53%, 58%, 67%, 76%, 78% and 89%) for the above concentrations respectively.It has been noticed that the quantum efficiency decreased as a function of concentration.There is a good consistency of the behavior of the fluorescence and absorption spectra with Beer.

Abstract: This study was carried to investigate how the learners in EFL classes emotionally react to the corrective feedback process in classroom settings and how it can affect their motivation towards the target language. For collecting the data a questionnaire was designed with ten questions and distributed among the students studying at secondary schools in Misurata, Libya. Responses to 110 valid questionnaires were analyzed. This paper first reviews the controversial role of corrective feedback in SL classrooms. Then the findings are reported and discussed. The findings show that affective damage is caused to the students, in different ways, in EFL classrooms, during the corrective feedback process. It has also found evidence that oral corrective feedback can affect the attitudes of the learners in a negative way. This paper highlights this negative aspect of the corrective feedback.
Key words: Negative Aspect Of Corrective Feedback, Affective Damage.
