The article presents an evaluation of student work-study programs taking place in academic libraries in Nigeria. It is noted that since the founding of the University of Ibadan in 1948 by the British colonial administration of Nigeria there has been a significant demand for higher education in the country but that government resources have not kept pace with need. A number of topics are addressed including the work-study programs started in response to a decreasing library staff, the different disciplines that require work-study participants, and an increase in indigent students.
