Community Junoir Secondary School Libraries in Botswana: A Case Study of Their Programs and Needs for Teacher-Librarian Training

The authors report on the status of the school library and its place in the curriculum in 13 Botswana community junior secondary schools located in northern and northeastern Botswana. During November 1999, the study took place during site visits to the schools that had a teacher-library intern receiving training through the School Library Certificate Program in the Department of Library and Information Studies at the University of Botswana. The authors used semistructured interviews, observations, and journals to provide the data for the descriptive qualitative study. This article is a report of the findings and the recommendations to the Department for changes in the school library curriculum.
