Resource Sharing Among Public University Libraries In Ghana

ABSTRACT  

This study was carried out to examine the current resource sharing activities among the six public university libraries in Ghana, with emphasis specifically, on the resource sharing activities of the Balme Library of the University of Ghana, Legon and the Library of the University for Development Studies, Tamale. The researcher used techniques such as the administration of questionnaire and interviews to collect data. The findings of the research include the absence of a formal resource sharing agreement between the libraries under study, lack of institutional policies on resource sharing and inadequate tools for the identification of information materials for resource sharing. The study, therefore, recommended that the Balme Library and the Library of the University for Development Studies take steps to work out a resource sharing scheme which would make it possible for them to be part of a nationwide resource sharing scheme being developed by university libraries in Ghana.
