Visiting Subject Librarian William Dansoh from the University of Kwazulu-Natal, Edgwood Library in South Africa sits down with Fred to talk about his time at ASU. William visited Arizona as a participant in a librarian exchange program that is part of the Carnegie Corporation sponsored Research Libraries Consortium project. The purpose of this project is to obtain insights into research libraries within the United States, especially focusing on how academic librarians collaborate with and support research faculty and post-graduate students. William also expressed an interest in seeing how technology supports research in the libraries.
During the discussion we will learn how William was selected for the internship, what he hoped to learn, his internship experiences, and a comparison between research libraries in the United States and South Africa.

He has returned to SA bursting with good ideas.
