Bibliographic Control in Kenya

Abstract

Examines the problems facing bibliographic control in Kenya, including the current state of publishing and legal deposit and the production of the Kenya National Bibliography. There is a need to coordinate the activities of the various bodies in the country responsible for information creation, collection and retrieval, but as yet no national coordinating body exists. The problems described cannot be solved by information workers alone. Publishers, printers and, above all, decision makers, have important roles to play.
