Tapping the Subject Background of Librarians: The University of Port Harcourt Library Experience

Abstract

The University of Port Harcourt Library initiated a scheme whereby young students with a variety of subject backgrounds would be recruited and trained to act as an effective link between library resources and the faculty. Discusses the beneficial effect this unique plan has had in all aspects of library services, and the impact it has made on the library users by having librarians with specialist backgrounds able to offer many and varied subject data knowledge when required by university library users.
