| Abstract | The study presents definitions of subject specialisation and the subject specialist. The roles, qualifications and duties of the subject specialist are discussed and the term "subject approach" is identified as the preferred terminology. Advantages and disadvantages of the subject approach are outlined. Two brief case studies of University libraries practicing the subject approach are given. University libraries are discussed with regard to their recent developments and current trends. An overview of the University of Zambia library is presented. The study concludes with an outline of proposals, implications and recommendations for adopting the subject approach in the University of Zambia Library. |
