SUMMARY:Decolonising Africa Collections? Library Legacies and African Studies Futures
DESCRIPTION:Conversation with Jakobina Mwiiyale (Windhoek) and Nora Schmidt
  (Vienna) in the series "Decolonising Knowledge? Africa Collections in Focu
 s".\n\nAfrican Studies libraries have become sites of critical interrogatio
 ns into knowledge production practices. Digital technological possibilities
 , on the one hand, and colonial legacies in acquisition, cataloguing and kn
 owledge validation, on the other hand, provide challenges to academic libra
 ry practices. Student demands, in turn, envisage wide-ranging and simple ac
 cess possibilities. In this Round Table, Jakobina Mwiiyale, Head of the Uni
 versity of Namibia Library User Services, Nora Schmidt from the network for
  decolonising academic libraries in German-speaking countries reflect on th
 e - often - hidden skills of librarian’s knowledge curation, decolonial pol
 icy and student demands.\n\nJakobina Mwiiyale is Head of the University of 
 Namibia (UNAM) Library User Services, Windhoek.\n\nNora Schmidt is a librar
 y and information studies researcher, decolonisation activist and open acce
 ss advocate, currently working for the University Press at the University o
 f Music and Performing Arts (UDW), Vienna.\n\nModeration: Dag Henrichsen, B
 asler Afrika Bibliographien, and Maria Randy Mwatondange, Centre for Africa
 n Studies, University of Basel, Switzerland.\n\nZoom-Link: https://unibas.z
