What a review! The narrative flow and details are mind-blowing. I, however, skimmed over some of the numbers. They got boring along the way. Thanks for your attention to details and sense of accuracy.
Thank you for noting the unease caused by the numbers. I felt them as obstacles while I writing, I just haven't gotten better than what you see when telling stories that have many numbers to it in the notes collected for such stories. But I hope the entire piece gives you a picture of what the University of Jos Library is. Thank you for making out time to stop by, read, and make a comment.
Reading "set on a hill: history, growth and development of University of Jos library" by Prof Stephen A. Akintunde is like taking a journey into the early foundations of the university library... It took me 4 days to finish the book and another 3 days to go through again. Thank you sir TJ for this I will definitely make reference to your summary when the time comes.
It took me longer than it took you to read the whole book because I wrote in my and took notes elsewhere as I read - all that to arrive at this piece. It could have been shorter than it took me though; I just had other projects on the side also. I look forward to your summary of the book when you are done. Some day, I get to do this for your book about or around the subject of a library. Till then, thrive, good Fellow.
Well done, this is a very good review . I just want to point to a statement "That meant the library was his idea. Although the present form of the Central Library Complex (since 2019) on the Naraguta Campus (also called Permanent Site) of the university was his idea, the university library is bigger than one man". I don't think this statement is a fact because he cannot be "employed" into his idea. Kindly fact check again. When I read the book I did not get this understanding of the university library being his idea. Thank you again for this review
Thank you for reading through, and for this comment. For the excerpt you analysed, I ask that you read it from the sentence before the first sentence of what you quoted. The first sentence of the excerpt is a follow-up to the sentence before it. I look forward to your feedback. Thank you.
Fascinating history of the University Library!
It's truly fascinating! Thank God Professor Akintunde wrote it down.
