✦ Synopsis

Even though libraries in Africa have limited resources for their work, many of them have made innovative and committed efforts to deal with the problems they face, by creating partnerships with other libraries in the region and beyond, and with international agencies that are concerned with information transfer and health promotion. Library partnerships have indeed served several purposes in Africa. However, the greatest challenge facing African libraries today is to keep the partnerships alive and growing. This paper is a series of reflections on the nature and history of partnerships between Universities in Africa and others elsewhere, with a particular focus on those that the Albert Cook Medical Library at Makerere University has participated in.
