Abstract
Everyone knows what subject librarians do, or at
least we hope they do: mainly research enquiries;
collection development; liaison with academic
departments; and information skills support, in
training sessions, by providing workbooks, or by
developing e-learning projects. Many of our users
are distance learners who can never visit our
library. So perhaps supporting a course based in
Ethiopia is not so different to our usual activities
after all.
Iām the Law Librarian at the University of Warwick,
and in November 2008 I spent a week of
my working life in Mekelle, in Northern Ethiopia.
Other subject librarians have done this before, so
you may have already heard their accounts. However,
it was a first for me! The School of Law at
Warwick is working in partnership with the Faculty
of Law at Mekelle for the next four years, in a
capacity-building project to set up a postgraduate
law programme, with PhD candidates as well as
an LLM course.
