Abstract

Analyses applications offered by different organisations in Uganda and gives a way forward for the use of digital libraries. A qualitative approach with a purposive sampling strategy was adopted. The study was limited to practical experiences on the services and applications that made the basis of analysis. The results indicated that the majority of organisations apply IT in bridging access across networks and sharing of information between different organisations. It was observed that the current ICT systems in Uganda do not enable it to reach the majority of the community. It is concluded that digital libraries and electronic technologies have contributed effectively to collaborative applications between institutions in Uganda. Recommends that services need to be integrated into the organisations’ strategic objectives coupled with knowledge and skills.
