Abstract:
|
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore how libraries and information centres can play a key
role in national development through strategic working partnerships with Government and other
stakeholders.
Methodology - The paper is based on literature Review and practical examples.
Findings - The paper finds that Botswana Government has formulated Maitlamo policy for the development of public libraries and through this policy partnerships have been established by the
African Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Partnerships (ACHAP) through the Sesigo Project, and another
partnership has been between parastatal organizations such as Botswana Technology Centre (BOTEC)
and Botswana National Library Services (BNLS).
Originality - The paper suggests the potential areas of partnerships that include community
development, youth development, music and sports, cultural activities and indigenous knowledge. |
