While the essays collected in this volume address a number of
issues, they all share the same aim of placing Africanist
librarianship in the contexts of our times. Many essays set high
value on service to present and future African library users,
through the usage of such means as bibliographic instruction and
the accumulation and arrayal of information in databases and
websites. Still others look to the theme of outreach because,
unfortunately, the effect of the electronic revolution, like that
of many other revolutions, was that the rich got richer and the
poor poorer. The post-colonial information gap (the book and
journal 'famine') in Africa, which was only exacerbated by
independence, has become almost unbridgeable in the last few
decades. As these essays indicate, Africanist librarians and other
scholars have done - and are continuing to do - whatever possible
to alleviate this, whether by training, exchanging information,
providing resources, or establishing partnerships with long-term
objectives.
