APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING.
Dear Colleague,
Some of you may know of Nance M'jamtu-sie, the librarian at the
College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences at Freetown in Sierra
Leone. She visited the Department of Information Services at UWCM in
October 1999 and impressed everyone here with her courage and
commitment, as well as her charm and warmth of personality.
Nance has asked for our help to replace the many medical journals she
lost in her library during the rebel invasion in January 1999. On
this occasion (and in the earlier invasion in May 1998) she had to
flee for her life and, on her return sometime later, found the
library systematically destroyed and flooded. She has worked
tirelessly to continue offering the best possible library service in
the face of what must sometimes seem like insurmountable odds. We
are full of admiration for her.
A list of the missing journals are attached. if you have spare copies
of any of these that you are able to send to me at the Duthie Library
it would be extremely helpful. We will then collate the copies and
arrange transport to Sierra Leone (via Partnership in Health
Information) with a note for Nance of all the libraries & librarians
that have made a contribution.
With many thanks,
Wendy
