- Few people have had such
a profound influence on the development of libraries worldwide
and on the training of the librarians who manage them as Peter
Havard-Williams, whose remarkable achievements this volume honours.
Within the pages of this book the reader will find many of the
contemporary issues of librarianship analysed and discussed by
a group of distinguished professionals from around the world.
It is a profession which has many conflicting pressures placed
upon it, but which may play an indispensible role in the development
of cultures and economies - as the particular essays on Africa
in the present volume clearly testify. Anyone interested in the
progress of libraries in an international dimension will find
this book both stimulating and challenging reading.
