Description
Introduction University libraries in Ghana, like in most other African countries, usually face challenges in gaining adequate access to global scientific and research literature. This affects the libraries' ability to provide current and scientific information to support academic and research work. In the 1990s, CDROM, E-mail, Internet and Inter-Library Loan and Document Delivery Services were introduced at different times to the public university libraries in Ghana. The services first began in the Balme Library, University of Ghana in 1994, and later in the other four public university libraries. This paved the way for a dramatic transformation of the libraries' roles as information providers. University libraries in Ghana are now making further progress in the acquisition of information technologies that permit access to global electronic resources in order to strengthen their ability to provide current, adequate, reliable and timely scientific and research information to their users.
