Brief communication: The impact of national currency devaluation, cash budget system and information technology on document supply in the University Of Malawi: the case of Chancellor College Library
Abstract
The economic situation in Malawi is dire. Since 1981 the national currency has been devalued many times and World Bank and IMF measures have had to be implemented. A monthly cash budget system has been introduced for publicly funded organisations. Library systems have suffered and there is reliance on rather inadequate donor programmes. Users are frustrated, research is suffering and there seems to be only modest hope for the future.
