This paper takes a critical review of the role of education and library as supporting agent in enhancing economic diversification for self-reliance in Nigeria. Key concepts relating to this study, namely: education, economic diversification, self-reliance and Nigeria were conceptually defined. The needs for Nigeria as a nation to promote education for economic diversification for her citizens to engage in an entrepreneurship education as a mean for sustaining selfreliance especially at the present economic recession were highlighted. The paper further advocated that the nation’s educational system needs be seriously reviewed to take into consideration the present employment needs of the citizens of the nation. Emphasis of education should be on promoting entrepreneurship education from the primary across other levels to university education. Government should adopt a strong policy of Public Private Partnership (PPP) with effective backing from assistance from financial houses in order to give entrepreneurship education adequate attention it desired. Training and retraining workshops should be organized for participants with affordable cost to attend: Entrepreneurship education has become one key area of need and desirable area to look into so as to create self-employment, create atmosphere for jobs for self-reliance and sustainability of lives and businesses as well as one of the ways of solving unemployment problems in Nigeria.

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of physical objects that can be discovered, monitored, controlled or interacted with by electronic devices which communicate over various networking interfaces, and eventually can be connected to the wider Internet. This has become possible owing to increasing availability of broadband Internet connection at a reduced cost, availability of more devices with Wi-Fi capabilities, technology affordability at... Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of physical objects that can be discovered, monitored, controlled or interacted with by electronic devices which communicate over various networking interfaces, and eventually can be connected to the wider Internet. This has become possible owing to increasing availability of broadband Internet connection at a reduced cost, availability of more devices with Wi-Fi capabilities, technology affordability at lower cost and high penetration of smart phones. This paper aims to explain the possible areas to implement the IoT applications in libraries. It also implies the merits, demerits and limitations of IoT applications in the libraries.
