What a library policy in Sierra Leone could look like...

"Libraries are critical information providers and part of their function is to make information policies. The policies that they adopt on the selection, organization and dissemination of the information they possess determine, in large part, their effectiveness... Sierra Leone's attempt at attaining socio-economic objectives in her post-war period is basically an information proposition. Her successful participation in inter national trade negotiations, finance, good governance, gender and human rights activities, to cite but a few examples, which involve national interest, depends significantly on her information power. This is why the issue of policies on library and information management should be viewed with utmost seriousness and pursued with zest and diligence."
