Here is the full dissertation I submitted for my Library and Information Management MSc at University of the West of England (click on the link below), the title of which is:
Library Aid to Developing Countries : A case study investigating how a Western literary library model is integrated into a Sub-Saharan African oral culture within the Malawian primary education system.
I was very excited to receive the LIRG Student Award 2010 for my research. Thank you LIRG!
If you don’t fancy reading it, it has lots of nice pictures in it of the awe-inspiring village I stayed in and of my Malawian friends you can look at. Please feel free to leave feedback or ask questions.

Unless I am mistaken, there was no active link in that ILIG post – just a series of social networks on which, presumably, a link to the dissertation might be found. A direct link, if possible, would be appreciated
