They offer a space for education, socialization and debate, which are open to the members of the society. This paper presents an overview of public libraries in Nigeria and their role, the challenges associated with the activities and programs of Nigerian Public Libraries in the creation of Social Capital. A total of 59 Public Libraries working in 12 State of Library Boards of Northern Nigeria and Federal Capital Abuja has been considered for the pilot study. The analysis has been done by frequency distribution, percentage and cluster analysis. Based on the results of the study, a few suggestions and solutions to overcome the problems in the creation of Social Capital have been listed. This paper is a pilot study of the Doctoral programme by the first author.

This trypsin treatment also decreases the sensitivity for 4,6<linitro~-cresol and simeton. It is reasoned that trypsin action makes the primary electron acceptor of light reaction II accessible for ferricyanide, thus inducing a short-circuit electron transport circumventing the site of action of the herbicides.

The objective of the study is to determine how judicial records are organised and preserved in relation to their accessibility and effective utilisation by judicial officers. Qualitative research methodology is used for the study; interview and observation is the only instrument used for data collection. Four judges and four litigation officers were purposively selected from the four Federal High Courts in the zone for this study. The findings of the study show that there are different types of judicial records, which include case files, registers and cause books. Judicial records are organised according to subject matter and arranged in chronological order. The major problems associated with the utilisation of the records by judicial officers include lack of adequate and continuous power supply, minimal ICT facilities, space and preservation facilities in all the courts studied. Recommendations made include the need for digitalisation of judicial records, formulation of standard records preservation policy, and provision of storage facilities including electronic storage devices.
