Nkem E. Osuigwe PhD CLN

I am an African Librarian working to promote the place of libraries in developing Africa. Libraries bridge the gap between the have and have-nots in the society as they provide equitable access to information resources to every member of their user communities that are essential for inculcation of literacy, opportunities for a better life and lifelong learning among other benefits. Building the capacity of African librarians and situating their libraries to offer relevant services that answer directly to the development challenges of their user communities is my passion.

Work Experience edit

I served as the Director, Anambra State Library Board (2009 - 2015), Director, Nigerian Book Foundation (2016 -2018) and I am currently the Director, Human Capacity Development and Training, AfLIA (African Library and Information Associations and Institutions)

 
When is a Wikipedia project a WikiProject?

The term "WikiProject" is used for projects created for the purpose of managing a specific family of information within Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Economics organises articles related to Economics, including economic terms, theories, and economists.

A WikiProject is a resource to help coordinate and organize article writing. Its attached talk page is a convenient forum for those interested in a particular project. WikiProjects can also have associated Portals.

Some projects, like the Tip of the day project, coordinate internal Wikipedia processes rather than article content directly (though not all of these use the term "WikiProject").
