<div>Academic libraries in universities and have adopted
subject librarianship in the 20<sup>th</sup> century as a response to the rapid
developments of information and communications technology (ICT) with its attendant proliferation of
information resources, the complexity of the information
environment,&nbsp;pressures from the expanding higher education system, the
rise in student numbers, and new economic and administrative frameworks (Ghana author.). In addition, Chanetsa and Ngulube
(2016) has argued that subject librarianship is in constant re-evaluation and
has re-engineered itself, so as to remain relevant in the ever-changing
technological and information environments. Perhaps that is why there is no
formal definition for a subject librarian as the duties and responsibilities as
well as the titles of academic librarians vary with each institution (Chanetsa
and Ngulube, 2016: 151). The faculty structure of given college or university
may be seen as a rationale for the variations in job titles and
responsibilities among academic librarians (Ghana author).<br></div>
