Join Johanna Anderson to learn more about her research working in a school library in Malawi in 2008. Johanna works as a Subject Librarian at the University of Gloucestershire. She is also co-founder of Voices for the Library and her dissertation entitled 'Library Aid to Developing Countries: A case study investigating how a Western literary library model is integrated into a Sub-Saharan African oral culture within the Malawian primary education system' received the Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) Student Award in 2010. See article in LIR (Library and Information Research)
Really interesting and original piece of research.
Johanna will speak at the next International Library and Information Group (ILIG) Informal event.
Title: Are we having the impact we intend? A case study of book aid to a Malawian primary school library.
Date: Wednesday, 11th April 2012
Time: 18.00 - 19.45
Place: CILIP HQ, 7 Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE
Cost: FREE (but please confirm attendance by emailing Alice Tyler: a.m.tyler@btinternet.com)
Can a Western literary library model work in a sub-saharan African context? Does the book donation model widely supported by international donors and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) achieve its aims of improving literacy.
