dc.description.abstractThis paper reports the filed work findings on a project: Capacity Building in Southern Sudan: Educating Librarians for the Future (EDLIB). EDLIB is a joint project implemented by various partners in Norway and South supported by the Norwegian University Cooperation Programme for Capacity Development in Sudan (NUCOOP). The study employed structured interviews, which were conducted targeting LIS professionals in LIS institutions supplemented by the Focus group discussions with available documentation. This paper describes the capacity building in LIS in SS and presents developments of LIS capacity in SS, challenges of LIS education and training, and strategies for capacity building in LIS. It concludes that in order to develop competences and skills for LIS development in SS, there is a need of developing capacity of librarians in these universities and also teaching staff in the LIS departments to acquire technical knowledge and competences in meeting demands of electronic age.en_US
