All rights reserved; Prepared by Ndaula Sulah, UgaBYTES Initiative with support of the University of Washington, Center for Information and Society, for Public Access to Information and Communication Venues. The paper is based on the findings of Public access study conducted in Uganda as part of the broader study in 24 countries. It summarizes the methodology of the research, bringing out key findings with success factors and recommendations. It describes the country overview detailing its geography, political and geographic divisions, and demographic factors providing conclusions on the effects of each on Public Access. It provides a broader shape of the Public Access venues and centres in the country before focusing on the three main venues that target disadvantaged societies. It strategically examines Public Access venues from three angles; access, capacity and environment, which formed the framework of the study. The venues assessed include; community libraries, public libraries and multipurpose Community telecentre. The paper provides key recommendations, strategic areas for investment and direction for future research. It also highlights perceptions and changing media landscape especially with the introduction of ICTs.

  • The National Library of Uganda: Challenges Faced in Performing Its Institutional Practices
    University of Nebraska - Lincoln DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal) Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln Spring 2-23-2021 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices Jane Kawalya [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac Part of the Library and Information Science Commons Kawalya, Jane, "The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices" (2021). Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 5073. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/5073 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices By Jane Kawalya (PhD) 1.0 BACKGROUND The idea of establishing the NLU started in 1997. Kawalya (2009) identified several factors which led to the establishment of the NLU. Before the enactment of the National Library Act 2003, Uganda had a national library system composed of Makerere University Library (MULIB) and the Deposit Library and Documentation Center (DLDC), which were performing the functions of a national library. Meanwhile the Public Libraries Board (PLB) was performing the functions of a national library service. However, due to the decentralization of services, according to the Local Government Act 1997, the Public Libraries Act 1964 was repealed thus weakening the PLB. The public libraries were taken over by the districts which left the PLB with few functions. There was therefore a need for an institution to take over important functions which had been carried out by the PLB. It was also realized that the few responsibilities would lead to the retrenchment of the PLB staff at the headquarters.
