Interview with Esharenana E. Adomi

摘要

The Editors try to introduce readers to some of the people "behind the scenes" of Library Hi-Tech News (LHTN). It is important that we have stationed several key and well-connected librarians around the world who can share what is happening in those regions professionally and help us cultivate new authors or contributors. One of those regional editors for Africa is Esharenana E. Adomi. He joined the Delta State University in Abraka, Nigeria as a member of the library staff in 1993 and worked there where he held different positions head of cataloguing operations, collection development librarian and serials librarian. He became a lecturer in the Department of Library and Information Science, Delta State University, Abraka on January 22, 2004. Professional service includes that he has been the secretary of the Nigerian Library Association, Delta State Chapter since 2000. In addition to serving as a contributing Editor for LHTN, Adomi is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of The Electronic Library and the article "A survey of cybercafe in Delta State, Nigeria" published in Vol. 21 No. 5, 2003 of The Electronic Library which he co-authored with two other colleagues won the most outstanding paper for the 2003 volume. This interview was conducted by e-mail correspondence in early summer 2004.
