The earliest known identification of subject  librarianship in African academic was in the mid-1960s (Afavia, 1983), which  coincides with the development of law and medicine branch libraries at the  University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland to provide adequate library  material firstly for the undergraduates and the teaching staff, providing  bibliographical aids, specialized collections (Made, 1969: 241). Data collected  in a study conducted in 1981 by Avafia (1983) found that academic librarians at  the University of Zimbabwe practiced a functional/form type of subject  librarianship where subject support services are provided and academic  librarians also perform traditional cataloguing, serials and acquisitions  functions in a centralized location.
