Shaking the ivory tower: revisiting the role of academic libraries in Sierra Leone
Abstract
The academic library is the intellectual hub of the institution it serves. As an effective instrument for the improvement of educational standards it should make its presence felt and exert its influence on the academic community by reorganising library facilities and improving its services. Over the years, academic libraries in Sierra Leone have been gradually losing recognition of their role and this is raising concern in academic circles. This article examines the role of these institutions at the University of Sierra Leone.
