Patricia Ogedengbe, Librarian of Africana, has been named a Fulbright Scholar for 2007-2008. The focus of Patricia’s work is “Research on Public Awareness Materials of HIV/AIDS Campaigns in Nigeria.” For a period of about six months beginning in late October, Patricia will be Fulbright Scholar in the Department of Library Science at Bayero University, Kano, Nigeria. Her plan to compile a comprehensive collection of public awareness materials in a variety of formats and research their effectiveness will result in deposits of such materials both in the library at Bayero University as well as here in at Northwestern.
