This chapter is on library and information science education for the 21st century users. It aims at x-raying the nature of LIS program as practiced in Nigeria so as to ascertain the extent to which the graduates will remain relevant in practice. This is based on the fact that the present-day library and information users are getting technologically advanced, and graduates of LIS education are also expected to be technologically visible to the users. The following subheadings were considered: library schools in Nigeria and their programmes, need for restructuring LIS programme, new programmes/courses to be incorporated in LIS education, and challenges of restructuring LIS education programmes. Library and information science professionals are not only having to adapt to change in library services but they also require in-depth and structured education and training programmes that are in line with the current technological demands. This will help the professionals to provide the needed manpower for the nation's information occupation engagements and effective user assistance.

This paper examines strengths and limitations of four major strategies or models in agricultural extension: linear ‘top-down’ transfer of technology; participatory ‘bottom-up’ approaches; one-to-one advice or information exchange; and formal or structured education and training. The main conclusion is that no single model or strategy is likely to be sufficient by itself. Despite criticisms of linear technology transfer models, there is still a need for access to reliable scientific information, just as there is a need to provide for active participation by farmers in research and development processes. One-to-one exchange of information and advice, whether from farmer to farmer or from professional adviser to farmer (and vice versa), will continue to be important. So too will be the lifting of levels of formal education and training among farmers. New information technologies will facilitate some forms of education, training and information exchange, but will need to be supplemented by other extension strategies.

AbstractThere is a paradigm shift in surgical training, and new tool and technology are being used to facilitate mastery of the content and technical skills. The transanal procedures for rectal cancer—transanal endoscopic surgery (TES) and transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME)—have a distinct learning curve for competence in the procedures, and require special training for familiarity with the “bottom-up” anatomy, procedural risks, and managing complex cases. These procedures have been models for structured education and training, using multimodal tools, to ensure safe implementation of TES and TaTME into clinical practice. The goal of this work was to review the current state of surgical education, the introduction and learning curve of the TES and TaTME procedures, and the established and future models for education of the transanal procedures for rectal cancer.

With the appearance of entrepreneurship as a major economic force, the field of entrepreneurship education and training had gained legitimacy and had grown substantially. In Namibia, however, the trial of complete academic legitimacy for entrepreneurship development remains. Entrepreneurs and SMEs are considered as change agents in altering economies, and the implication of entrepreneurship and SME development is not often realized and normally ignored. Despite heightened awareness and interest by both scholars and practitioners, entrepreneurship development for entrepreneurs is still an emerging field of inquiry. Furthermore, limited research has so far been conducted on entrepreneurship development for entrepreneurs in the Namibian context. A review of the literature on entrepreneurship development revealed a critical review gap. Therefore, the chapter intends to review critically entrepreneurship development in Namibia and to suggest the way forward regarding entrepreneurship, youth, and entrepreneurs in order to fight poverty and unemployment.
