Abstract
This study investigated academic Librarians' gains and pains of publishing: a case study of two private Universities in Ogun State Nigeria. Literatures were reviewed from related studies, survey research method was used. Questionnaire was designed and administered to all the academic librarians in the two Universities under study. A total of 27 academic librarians are in the two Universities and were given a copy of the questionnaire, and 24 copies were returned and found usable. The data was analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). The findings revealed that the librarians in the two Universities are publishing, it was also discovered that there are gains of publishing which includes, earning promotion, peer recognition, departmental recognition, adding value to the profession. It was also found out that there are pains of publishing by academic librarians such as financial pains, too much demand by daily work in the library, lack of academic freedom, and family commitments. This study also revealed that the gains of publishing slightly outweigh the pains. Based on these findings, conclusions were drawn. Key words: Academic Librarians, Librarians and publishing, Publish or Perish, Ogun State. Covenant University
