Data was collected through a survey questionnaire, site visits, and informal interviews carried out in the Solomon Islands between July and August 1998. The 20 libraries that responded to the questionnaire included 1 national, 2 academic, 3 public and provincial, 4 school, and 10 special libraries. The major findings reveal problems in library and information services provision to local communities. These problems are not unique to Solomon Islands but are common to many developing countries. Library service is hampered by a general lack of library resources, a serious shortage of qualified librarians, insufficient funding, a lack of cooperation between libraries, and a lack of commitment to and recognition of libraries by responsible authorities including the Government. There is also a lack of awareness of the services provided by the libraries and of the importance of librarianship as a profession. This research concludes with discussion on the roots of the problems and ways in which these problems could be overcome to lead to improving the standard of libraries and librarianship in the Solomon Islands. Appendices include the survey questionnaire, letters to libraries, and list of participating libraries.

Department of Information Science 7,1 3 Libraries in Solomon Islands in the 1990s Abstract Abstract There were two important considerations which led to this piece of academic research. First and foremost, there is the opinion that little advancement has taken place in Solomon Islands librarianship since the country was a British Protectorate. Secondly, there was a notable lack of research in this area, and thus this piece of work will contribute to the library literature of Solomon Islands. The project aimed to find out about the current state of libraries in Solomon Islands with particular attention to the resources available and the services provided. This was achieved through a questionnaire survey, site visits and informal interviews carried out in Solomon Islands between July and August 1998. Twenty libraries representing the different types of libraries that exist in Solomon Islands participated in the survey. The research uncovered many interesting findings. The major findings reveal alibrary service faced with problems in an attempt to provide library and information services to the local communities. These problems are not unique to Solomon Islands but are common to many developing countries. Theservice is hampered by a general lack of library resources, a serious shortage of qualified librarians, insufficient funding, alack of co-operation between libraries, and a lack of commitment and recognition of libraries by responsible authorities including the Government. There is also a lack of awarenessof the services provided by the libraries and of the importance of librarianship as a profession. A professional library association which could lobby appropriate parties would help to overcome some of these obstacles. The dissertation ends with a series of conclusions on the roots of the problemsand ways in which these problems could be overcome in order to lead to an improvementin the standard of libraries and librarianship in Solomon Islands. ;le 4 Libraries in Solomon Islands in the 1990s Acknowledgements Acknowledgements It is with much pleasure that I would like to thank all those who assisted and supportedme one way or another during the course of this project. While it is impossible to single out all themany individuals whose help, support and encouragement have led to the fruition of this report; special mention must be made of the following. I am particularly thankful to my supervisor, Dr Paul Sturges, for his professional guidance and enthusiasm throughout the project. Many thanks go to the libraries that participated in the questionnairesurvey, in particular the librarians who kindly and generously offered their invaluable information for this project.I guaranteed anonymity to all the librarians and therefore cannot thank them by name, however, I offer my thanks to all of them. I wish to express my profound gratitude to the University of the South Pacific (USP) not only for providing the financial assistance which enabled me to undertake my survey and research in Solomon Islands, but also for providing the scholarship which enabled me to study at Loughborough University in the first place. Being my employer as well as my sponsor, USP has been very supportive inmany ways.I am also grateful to Mereani Vakasisikakala, the librarian at the Pacific Collection of USP Library for her help with my requests for materials held at USP Library, Still at USP Library, I would also liketo thank Jayshrce Mamtora and Melvyn Rainey for their comments and encouragement. I am also indebted to the USP Solomon Islands Centre for theuse of its facilities during the period of my survey, in particular I would like to thank the Centre Director, Julian Treadaway, for his support for the project and for writing to the libraries requesting that they supportme with my project.I extend my appreciation to all my other USP Centre colleagues for a very warmth and welcomingmanner with which I was treated during the time of the survey.

While we cannot feasibly mention each individual or community that helped, we would like to highlight the efforts of those who provided substantial assistance. The study team wishes to express their gratitude to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the American Library Association (ALA) whose support and participation have made this study and the previous 2004 study possible. Also, we thank ALA and the Gates Foundation for their assistance in securing a high survey response rate. The study team would like to recognize the significant efforts of the state librarians, the state data coordinators, and other state library agency staff members. As with the 2004 study, the amount of time, energy, and support that the state library community invested in this study contributed directly to the survey’s high response rate – we cannot thank them enough for all of their efforts.

  • Assessment of Iraqi Cultural Heritage Libraries and Archives June 27-July 6, 2003
    IRAQ UNESCO Contract 26 00 00 526A Assessment of Iraqi cultural heritage Libraries and archives June 27-July 6, 2003 Jean-Marie ARNOULT Inspecteur général des bibliothèques Paris, France SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS (a) General recommendations 1. Architectural reconstruction Reconstructions have from now on to be contemplated. The file is enormous but it may be an opportunity to reconsider the architectural programmes of libraries in order to make them more functional regarding contemporary necessities. Therefore, existing buildings which were not meant to receive activities with particular constraints or may have been recently weakened must not be reused. However, owing to the time needed to build up projects (dealing with the location, the architectural programmes, the signing of contracts and the building itself), it is strongly advised to find as soon as possible temporary buildings likely to receive the collections that have been scattered into unsuitable buildings in order to treat them (cleaning, inventories), and receive the personnels who have to be motivated again and go back to work. 2. Reconstruction of collections It means a reconstruction rather than a mere reconstitution that would only involve the replacing piece by piece of the destroyed books. Because of over a decade of considerable budgetary restrictions and the embargo that blindly reduced the opportunities of acquisition, Iraqi libraries are doubly wrecked. As to patrimonial collections (National Library and National Archives) their reconstitution through the reproduction of destroyed documents will imply an international co-operation with a lot of countries, mainly the countries that had historical links with Iraq. 3. "Requalification" of personnels The reconstruction of libraries implies a necessary requalification of professionals through the setting of a temporary system of training until it is possible to create a basic teaching with diplomas for book, documentation or archive workers and to restructure careers.

Libraries promote the free flow of information – one of the pillars of freedom in American society. Libraries disseminate ideas and information, encourage a life-long pursuit of knowledge and discovery, and inspire people of all ages, cultures, and economic circumstances to broaden their understanding of our world. California’s public libraries are in the midst of exciting transformations, adapting and innovating in creative ways, while at the same time staying true to who they’ve always been: institutions of learning, advancement, and community revitalization. Local libraries confer profound and wide- ranging benefits on our modern society by: .

  • How Are Academic Library Usage and Green Demands Changing Building Designs?
    Libraries with a Future: How Are Academic Library Usage and Green Demands Changing Building Designs? Michael Wescott Loder Support for the modular system of building construction, touted in the second half of the 20th century as the best basis for academic library building design, appears to be waning. A study of “green” libraries in 2008 revealed that not only has energy conservation become important, but that spaces designed for users rather than books have become paramount. The modular system worked particularly well for housing ever-expanding book collections, but collection growth is no longer a practical goal.
