    Developing a capacity building policy for academic libraries
    (2000) Mosala, Nthabiseng N; Underwood, Peter G
    This study was conducted in order to establish how to address the issue of capacity building in academic libraries. The libraries of the two Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDIs), the University of Western Cape (UWC) and Peninsula Technikon (Pentech), participating libraries in the Cape Libraries Cooperative (CALICO) were used as models to assess the extent to which skills attainment contributes towards capacity building. The study found that there is no policy that looks specifically at addressing capacity building in these two libraries. Training was found to be the core element towards attaining capacity building. Other approaches found to enhance capacity building were mentoring, coaching and exchanges.
