Abstract

This paper summarizes the findings of a survey of the careers of graduates from the M.Sc. in Information Science programme at the School of Information Studies for Africa (SISA), Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, between 1990/92 and 1994/96. The SISA programme has been recognized as relevant to the Library and Information Science employment and market demands. Career opportunities and market requirements for information scientists in Sub-Saharan Africa are promising within governmental, private and international organizations. Several recommendations have been suggested to enhance the SISA programme. The need for the curricula to reflect and remain responsive to the developments in the “Information Age” has been underscored.
