This means that these materials did not have any traces in the public catalogue and therefore their retrieval was very difficult. To clear the backlog a cataloguer from a sister university library was engaged on contract from January to August 1994.\u0000By the end of the cataloguer's contract a total of five thousand (5,000) volumes had been catalogued and their records provided in the public catalogues.\u0000This paper concludes by suggesting to the library management that librarians in the library be encouraged to take interest in cataloguing; that the Head of the Cataloguing Department be tasked with the responsibility of seeing to clear the backlog. Finally the paper also suggests that the services of students could be used during holidays to work specifically on the backlog.\u0000 Keywords : Retrospective Cataloguing, Backlog Cataloguing, University Libraries, University Of Cape Coast Ghana Library Journal Vol. 19 (1) 2007 pp. 107-113","PeriodicalId":399599,"journal":{"name":"Ghana Library Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123562362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Content analysis was undertaken to collect feature articles, research and development notes, subject review articles, provisional communications and documentation in the GJAS from 36 volumes, published over a 35 year period (1968-2003). Authors' institutional and geographic affiliations were examined. Descriptive statistics was used in analyzing the data. \u0000\u0000A total of 663 articles authored by 1202 authors were analysed. Results indicated that 332 articles were single-authored while 331 were co-authored. The proportion of single-authored papers had decreased from 90% in 1968 to 6.25% in 2003. During the period, there was an increase in average number of authors per paper from 1.10 in 1968 to 2.87 in 2003. Degree of collaboration also increased from 0.10 to 0.94. The research should sensitize Ghanaian authors to collaborate more with experts from outside Ghana, especially from the developed world.

Every organization primarily needs committed and dedicated staff that will help the organization to meet its tactical and strategic objectives. The study examines whether staff development policies exist in three special libraries in Ghana, and whether training programmes are being offered to increase staff competence, efficiencies and performance. It was also aimed at assessing staff welfare practices and how these affect productivity and performance. In conducting the survey, two sets of questionnaires were drawn up. One set was administered to management and the other set went to Library staff. The survey revealed that all the organizations under study have staff development policies and training programmes for staff to enhance their capabilities and efficiency. Again, the survey revealed that staff welfare is catered for since several motivational avenues and incentive packages are available to boost their morale.

{"title":"The Critical Role Of Libraries In The Information Society","authors":"V. Bannerman","doi":"10.4314/GLJ.V19I2.33963","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4314/GLJ.V19I2.33963","url":null,"abstract":"As a country, a lot of information is generated but not well managed thus making information difficult to obtain. Access is also a problem due to the manual system some libraries generally use. This paper discusses today's emerging issues that affect information access. It explains that the public domain is shrinking because of extended terms\u0000of copyright protection, resulting in less content for creators to build upon and less content for the benefit of society. It notes the role librarians need to play to correct the situation. Reference is made to Copyright and Intellectual Property, The Right to Information Bill and\u0000Library Automation as issues that affect availability of information. It further states that information overload and pollution are what we expect to experience in the information age and that information literacy is essential for the optimum use of the deluge of information from the Internet. It states that the recently introduced educational reforms should\u0000be seen as an opportunity to resolve some of the issues addressed. It then recommends that a National Commission on Libraries be established because issues relating to information and libraries are not restricted to Education alone but cut across other Ministries, Departments and Agencies, such as; Local Government, Communications, Information and District Assemblies. A separate infrastructure is not required as libraries already exist and can be developed to help all citizens function in the information society. The paper concludes with the demand that librarians take charge with the\u0000help of the Ghana Library Association and carry out their mandate so that libraries can play a more effective role in the information society.
