This paper examines the University of Botswana's efforts at
implementing e-learning and transforming the University of
Botswana Library (UBL) into a learning resource centre
(LRC), with the assistance of the US Government's
education, democracy and development initiative (EDDI)
project. The paper informs that the project is on course, with
the Centre for Academic Development having run
demonstrations on ``smart classroom'', ``WebCT''; ``high
impact WebCT'' and redesigned a lecture room into a fully
functioning e-learning room. Enumerates the EDDI
consultants' recommendations on how to effectively
transform UBL into a LRC. Concludes that
commitment and the political will on the part of all
stakeholders is germane to the success of this new vision of
student-centred approach to teaching, and the LRC approach
to information services support.
