Descripción
Sumario: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.
Notas:Selected papers from the XVII Standing Conference of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa Library and Information Associations (SCECSAL XVII) held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, July 10-14, 2006.
