It was jointly organised by Mzumbe University and Adger University College, Kristiansand, and held at Whitesands Hotel, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The event brought together participants and experts from Tanzania and Norway to discuss key themes related to library and information services in higher education. The main outcomes of the conference highlighted the importance of resource sharing and institutional collaboration; the evolving role of university libraries in the era of information explosion and technological advancement; the development of electronic resource-sharing networks; and the management of university libraries in the digital age. Other discussions centred on the implementation of information literacy programmes, the relationship between internet access and poverty reduction, IT adoption in Tanzanian educational institutions, and the role of information technology in national development.Item Dynamics of legal skills: Statutes, consititution and cases(Mzumbe University, 2014) Msabila, Dominik T.The book is divided into three parts as follows: Part A: Statutes and constitutional analysis; Part B: Legal cases; and Part C: Miscellaneous.

University students, language and linguistic researchers in East Africa and beyond will be able to find extra and new materials to augment the current lexicon, phonemes and lexemes necessary to develop the continuously expanding research on Sheng and standard Kiswahili. This is done at a time Kiswahili has been declared one of the working languages of the African Union. On a wider global arena, Kiswahili has found a place in many university campuses as one of the foremost foreign languages in Europe, North America and the Far East. Many African scholars and leaders are campaigning to see the language find official use at the United Nations in future. As such, Kiswahili improvement is a must area of interest to African linguists whose cultures find a great international renown through this native African language. The rapidity of the spread in Sheng word use across East Africa is staggering. For example, the word mos mos- popular in Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu and Kampala- is originally Luo meaning ‘slowly, with less speed’. In Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Mwanza, Arusha, Mbeya and other urban centres in Tanzania, it is pronounced mosi mosi but equally and popularly used. Other popular words in Nairobi Sheng like mgwana, mpointi, karau and shags/ushago, can equally be heard in the speech of many youths in urban areas of Tanzania and Uganda who mix the words in their own versions of Kiswahili. It was difficult to define areas of word use. I leave this task to future researchers in linguistics. After all, this book is about the influence of Sheng on Kiswahili speech and writings now and in the years to come. Admittedly, the field research was done in Nairobi through 2007 and 2008. For the whole of 2009 and part of 2010, it was tested in the youth speech in many urban centres (Morogoro, Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Mbeya, Nakuru, Kisumu, Kampala and Tanga), and in the written media especially newspapers, radio, TV and interviews involving the youths picked up words from Kenyan capital and spread them like burning fire across the region. That was why it took three years to compile all the findings, making the author unable to define the area of use. I thought that in doing so I could create more awareness, interest and desire in all those who could want to do the same in future.Item The burden of proof: How to defend yourself in criminal cases(Research and Publications Department, 2000) Massawe, Aloys. A. F.The book covers three interrelated areas of law which a person would require to grasp when entering an appearance before the court of law. The areas at hand are criminal law principles, evidence and legal skills. First, the book addresses areas of criminal law upon which liability in criminal matters is fundamentally determined. In this vein, defences (general and specific) are also covered. Second, hand in hand with criminal law principles are rules of evidence, which have been given a concise but thorough treatment. Finally, the author provides techniques for handling prosecution matters. He illustrates methods or trial tactics (chapter 14) which may be adapted to any kind of case, and this aspect amplifies the importance of this book to learners of law. The skills are explained by analysis and illustrated by examples. The reader will find that in this way rules of self-defence become clear and that way potentially serious mistakes can be avoided.Item Macroeconomics : A problem and solution guide(Mzumbe University, 2005) Kamuzora, FaustinThe idea to compile this manual came out of my over ten years of experience teaching the first-year microeconomics (ECO 101) course at the former Institute of Development Management (IDM) and later at Mzumbe University. Though I had IDM/Mzumbe University students in mind, I later found that it was necessary to compile a manual that would suit first and second-year students studying macroeconomics at any institution of higher learning in East Africa and elsewhere. The primary aim of this manual, therefore, is to assist the students studying macroeconomics for the first time on how to attempt macroeconomics questions. Macroeconomics questions can be solved using mathematical, graphical and descriptive approaches, all of which have been utilised in this manual. Moreover, the suggested solutions to the question provide summarised information on macroeconomics, which in other books could be too lengthy to read and comprehend. In order to make the content of this manual easily discerned, many problems and solutions use local examples. Even though the content of this manual mostly covers the syllabus for the macroeconomics course offered in many institutions of higher learning, the contents are quite relevant to other readers may including students in institutions of higher learning who do not study macroeconomics, as well as the general public. The author believes that every individual needs to grapple with basic issues of macroeconomics since they affect everyone. Everyone pays taxes and is affected by the effects of inflation in various ways; thus, macroeconomic issues touch everyone's livelihood. Macroeconomics issues are presented in a simplified format to be understood by as many readers as possible. The manual is organised in six chapters, each with several sections as follows: Chapter One: National Economy and National Income Analysis; Chapter Two: Money and Banking; Chapter Three: Inflation; Chapter Four: Public Finance; Chapter Five: Business Cycles; and Chapter Six: International Trade and Balance of Payments. Finally, a list of bibliography is included at the end of the manual for those who would like to explore more on any microeconomics issues raised in this text. In a similar vein, a detailed index of keywords is provided to ensure that a reader can quickly turn to the appropriate page(s) to look for an appropriate keyword of interest.Collection An open-access collection of e-books and research applying quantitative and analytical methods to complex decisions in management, public administration, and human resource planning.Collection Essential resources for developing academic writing, note-taking, oral presentation, and effective interpersonal communication skills for university studentsCollection Essential open-access resources covering foundational and advanced concepts in mathematical analysis, probability theory, econometrics, and statistical methods.
