The Namibia collaboration project produced a book by three university libraries
The collaboration project of Tampere, Helsinki and Namibia university libraries has produced a new book. Empowering People - Collaboration between Finnish and Namibian University Libraries is about people and collaboration in the context of human resource development at the University of Namibia Library. The book is written by experts of the three participating university libraries.
The book provides both practice-oriented and research-based approaches to important themes in the field of university libraries. It covers the information seeking behavior of academic staff and students, collection and research support services, information literacy education, scholarly communication and scientific publishing. Staff competence management and evidence-based librarianship are introduced as methods for coping in the changing environment.
The editors are Mirja Iivonen and Outi Sisättö from Tampere University Library, Päivi Helminen from Helsinki University Library and Joseph M. Ndinoshiho from University of Namibia Library. The publisher is Tampere University Press and the book is available at the online bookshop Granum (http://granum.uta.fi/english/).
