Librarianship as a Bridge to an Information and Knowledge Society in Africa by Alli Mcharazo,Sjoerd Koopman Pdf

Knowledge Management was the theme of the Standing Conference of Eastern, Central and Southern African Library and Information Associations (SCECSAL XVII) in 2006. This selection of conference papers provides a cross-disciplinary approach to knowledge, information and development and how the three together can mould a new and more informed society. The challenge is to make our libraries more people-centered and Afro-centric, not simply serving the interests of the elite and paying little attention to the plight of the less well off. This needs to change, with libraries becoming more inclusive and serving the needs of all. These papers raise provocative questions, and provide an insight into the struggle of information services in this part of Africa to be part of an emerging information and knowledge society.

The Quiet Struggle by Rodney Paul Sturges,Richard Neill Pdf

This thoroughly revised edition (first edition, 1990), includes two completely new chapters (2 and 6). It covers the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa, taking into account South Africa, with much more focus than the first edition on areas using languages other than English or African languages (e.g. French). It presents arguments and offers possible solutions for the problems and issues surrounding information and libraries for the people of Africa. The two new chapters on information needs and existing responses in African communities, and ideas and experiments for new information services to the whole community make this a very 'people-centred' approach.
