Abstract
This
paper
provides
an
evaluation
of
education
and
training
for
library
collection
development
in
Ghana.
It
presents
a
brief
history
of
education
in
Ghana
with
particular
reference
to
library
education.
The
program
of
the
Department
of
Library
and
Archival
Studies
at
the
University
of
Ghana
is
discussed
with
regard
to
course
levels
and
course
structure.
The
syllabus
for
the
course
in
acquisi-
tions/collection
development
is
also
discussed,
and
various
problems
faced
by
teachers
and
students
of
this
course
are
highlighted.
It
is
concluded
that
although
students
find
the
course
interesting
and
valuable,
problems
such
as
lack
of
audi-
ovisual
materials
for
teaching
and
inadequate
reading
materials
for
the
students
must
be
solved
in
order
to
increase
the
usefulness
of
the
course.
