Offered by the Department of Library Studies of the University of Botswana since 1984, the course is open to candidates from all anglophone countries of the Eastern and Southern African subregion and is intended to impart basic professional knowledge to participants in classification, cataloging and indexing, management and administration, and bibliographic and information resources and techniques. The modules, which are designed to be presented during several class sessions, provide text, exercises, and suggestions for further reading. Modules include: (1) "Introduction to Libraries and Information" (Benzies Y. Boadi); (2) "Bibliographic and Information Resources and Techniques" (Frank Gibbons); (3) "Management and Administrative Studies" (Kingo J. Mchombu); and (4) "Practical Classification, Cataloguing and Indexing" (J. Richard Neill). (Author/KM)
