- Librarians for Ghana. Harris, John Foreign Countries History Librarians Library Education Library Schools Library Science The history of librarianship in Ghana began in 1944 when Miss Fegan, an experienced librarian, was assigned by the British Council to run a training course for library assistants at the Achimota College Library. The subsequent development of libraries, library schools, and librarianship in Ghana is traced. To become a professional librarian in Ghana today requires the completion of a diploma course which is open only to university graduates judged to have the requisite qualities of mind, personality and temperament to make satisfactory librarians. The course consists of two parts: (1) one academic session, ending with five written examination papers and (2) the completion of a written bibliography or thesis and practical experience in an approved library. The subjects covered in the syllabus are: (1) cataloging and classification, (2) bibliography, (3) history of libraries and librarianship and (4) administration. (Author/NH)
