Librarianship as a profession in Ghana The aim of this paper is to review the development of the library profession in Ghana from its inception during the colonial period to the present day. It discusses the achievements of the profession as well as its problems. Suggestions are made for solutions to these problems. Wherever possible, comparisons are made with other library professions in the subregion, particularly with the Nigeria Library Association which is a sister organisation.
