Short Communication Use of Micro CDS/ISIS in Libraries and Information Centres in Ghana

Abstract

The paper examines the extent to which the CDS/ISIS software is used in Ghana, its impact on library and information work, and the role of a user group. The study indicates that majority of the respondents use the software for information retrieval, apparently due to lack of in-depth knowledge about the capabilities of the software. The future of the software in Ghana looks very bright. The recommendations made are aimed at ensuring the continued use and fuller utilisation of the capabilities of the software.
