Librarianship nowadays means different thing from what it used to, some decades ago. Libraries then were mere reservoirs and citadels of good decadence, getting in but not giving out. The 21st libraries are now active, vibrant; a living foundation of good influences, a service-oriented institution with set goals to achieve with transformative technological knowhow. This new outlook exited through formal education which was extended to the females, provide gateway for talented women to prove themselves. Despite the equal training like their male counterpart, there is much to be said on being deprived of getting to the political peak of their career and being refused promotion to a higher management post. This study, investigates women’s role and impacts in selected tertiary institutions in Ogun state.
