This is an exciting opportunity. A wonderfully contemporary building in a vibrant city, at a large academic library in a University with strong programs. The library at UB (http://www.ub.bw/library/) holds extensive collections with particular strengths in national law, regional ecosystems and related industries including tourism, cultural studies, etc. The UBL collaborates with the HOORC (www.orc.ub.bw) which is the science research centre at Maun and one of UB’s jewels.
