The Need for a University Librarian

The Awareness Times – Freetown,Sierra Leone – has a Column By Saa Mathias Bendu who says he found out over the years that there is a total lack of understanding of what the library and information scientist does and what responsibilities they carryout.
It is out of this ignorance that most people in our “academic world”, in particular the Fourah Bay College, treat Library, Information and Communication studies with contempt. They are not aware that librarianship is a profession that is not only concerned with work inside a building called library or information centre. This ignorance leads to the ineptitude of most people, when they later find themselves working for the university, NGOs, industries and the government.
