Libraries and Sustainable National Development in Nigeria
Get PDFNigeria has changed in diverse sectors such as education, politics, agriculture, health, technology and so forth in view of development and modernisation across these sectors. Consequently, the diverse structure of Nigerias federalism is discussed in terms of the various development plans put forward by successive governments. This paper particularly noted the various institutional and special libraries as contributing to these strides with a responsibility of developing a literate community of its patrons.

The work concludes that there is no development or modernisation in practical terms without impacting on people directly, which has the major reason libraries channel their services toward people of all careers and background

3D-LED Plotter [3D Plotting System]
No full textOur product is a display unit which will enable users to create and manipulate images in true 3D. A cubic matrix of multi-coloured LEDs will be used as the set of ‘data points’. The input to the device is a signal from a navigational keypad user interface to a single microcontroller, which will be pre-programmed to light the corresponding LEDs in the display matrix.
This device will serve as a great educational toy in its own right, providing children with a tool that can potentially expand their creativity and imagination, inspire curiosity in math and logic, and assist with the development of spatial cognition. However, we aim primarily to provide a foundation in research for creating true 3D displays, and hope that this prototype will be the first module of a set, eventually including interfaces for various computer graphics and math programs. The modular nature of this project will enable us to add valuable functionality with each design cycle, while ensuring a finished product at the end of every one
