Final Verdict: Traditional Versus Digital Divides in Librarianship -CALL FOR PAPERS

A Festschrift in Honour of

 Dr. Benedict Adekunle Oladele- University Librarian, University of Ibadan, Nigeria

 

Librarianship is undergoing some transformation from traditional routines to digital innovations. Routines that were hitherto carried out manually are now being automated. The transformation from the past to the current is however not without history, issues, experiences and practices that need to be recorded for posterity because they are not adequately addressed in contemporary literature. It is therefore incumbent on library and information science practitioners both in the libraries and academia to address these issues.  

It is then the objective of practitioners of the University of Ibadan Library System to honour Dr. Benedict Adekunle Oladele who is preparing to complete his tenure in September 2016 as the University Librarian with a festschrift. The justification for this festschrift is linked to his immense contribution in transforming the premier academic library in Nigeria. In the light of this, the book will promote and encourage diligent service provision among librarians. Interested members of the profession are therefore invited to submit abstract of proposals on any of the sub-themes.

The book is aimed at the following:

ü  To document efforts that have been made in the past to bring libraries to what they currently are

ü  Providing a platform to give account of the advantages embedded in digital transformation in libraries

ü  To communicate problems and challenges recorded in transforming from traditional to digital libraries and

ü  To promote best practices in the digital age in libraries

Target Audience:

Practicing Librarians, Library and information science educators, Information Managers, Individuals in information-related disciplines, Students and other researchers

  

Sub-Themes:

1. Library Management (Human Resource, Financing, General
