Income Generation: experiences from university libraries in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa

In April 2000, SCANUL-ECS held its fourth biennial conference in Windhoek, Namibia. The theme of the meeting was Sustainable Funding of African National and University Libraries. Recognising that there is a movement away from total reliance on government funding towards additional sources for library income, the meeting resolved that case studies of successful income generation by university libraries in the region be published and distributed to SCANUL-ECS members. This volume, containing case studies from eight university libraries in six African countries, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, is the result.

With contributions from Tirong arap Tanui, Joseph J.Uta, Annie Pienaar, Jenny Raubenheimer, Hesteer G. Boltman, Julita Nawe, Elizabeth Kiondo, James Mugasha and C.B.M.Lunga.
