EBAD: http://www.ebad.ucad.sn
In the 1960s independence days of most African coutnries, there was no school of documentary information science in French speaking coutnries in the South of the Shara. Being aware of this deficiency, in 1963 UNESCO decided to open at Dakar, Senegal the first library school in French-speaking black Africa. In 1967, the Centre was renamed The Librarian, Archivists, and Documentalists School linked to Dakar University in a methdo with a status of University Institute. In 1967, only a librarian section was open; followed by the Archivist section in 1977, and then the Documentalist section in 1975.
