Leveraging public libraries and information and communication technologies (ICTs) to deliver information services for development in Botswana: towards the information society

The premise of the paper though, will be that in as much as there are many initiatives in place, there are still pockets of the population who do not get the infromation that they require in order to become a meaningful part of development in the country.
