Nkem E. Osuigwe PhD CLN

I am an African Librarian working to promote the place of libraries in developing Africa. Libraries bridge the gap between the have and have-nots in the society as they provide equitable access to information resources to every member of their user communities that are essential for inculcation of literacy, opportunities for a better life and lifelong learning among other benefits. Building the capacity of African librarians and situating their libraries to offer relevant services that answer directly to the development challenges of their user communities is my passion.

Work Experience

I served as the Director, Anambra State Library Board (2009 - 2015), Director, Nigerian Book Foundation (2016 -2018) and I am currently the Director, Human Capacity Development and Training, AfLIA (African Library and Information Associations and Institutions)

Tip of the day...

Section edit button

At the top of each section of an article (if it has sections, that is), located on the far right of the screen, is an [edit] button. The button is offset slightly above the section, and sometimes new users get confused and think it belongs to the section above it. When you click on the edit button, the edit window opens up, displaying the source text from the section immediately below the edit button. Please use these whenever you can. You can set your preferences to have the section headers themselves to act like the [edit] links.
