Африканские библиотеки в силу новейших политических тенденций разделяют это понимание. Цель статьи – познакомить аудиторию журнала с неизвестной для них библиотечной системой Намибии. Автор описывает и систематизирует цели национальной библиотеки и национального архива, а также историю их появления; задачи публичных, специальных, вузовских и школьных библиотек; приводит статистику услуг, предлагаемых публичными библиотеками, а также число пользователей библиотечных услуг. В статье обозначены вызовы, стоящие перед библиотеками, архивами и информационными центрами. Автор приходит к заключению, что библиотечная система Намибии развивается с момента обретения государством независимости (с 1990 г.), однако требует приложения дальнейших усилий.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding of cultures, traditions and systems of different countries is of growing importance. This article aims to acquaint readers of this journal with library systems in Namibia, shedding more light on its goals, history, and various branches such as the National Library of Namibia, the National Archives of Namibia, as well as special, academic, and school libraries. Through statistical data on services offered and user demographics, the author provides insights into the current landscape of libraries in Namibia. Additionally, the article addresses challenges faced by these institutions, ultimately concluding that while the library systems in Namibia has made significant strides since Namibia gained independence, further efforts are required for its continued development and enhancement.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>libraries</kwd><kwd>Namibia</kwd><kwd>National Library</kwd><kwd>National Archives</kwd><kwd>Public Library</kwd><kwd>School Library</kwd><kwd>special libraries</kwd><kwd>academic libraries</kwd><kwd>branch-libraries</kwd><kwd>computerized library systems – Symphony</kwd><kwd>KOHA</kwd><kwd>library services</kwd><kwd>Parliament Library</kwd><kwd>the library of the Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management</kwd><kwd>information needs</kwd><kwd>types of manuscripts</kwd><kwd>types of archive records</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>библиотеки</kwd><kwd>Намибия</kwd><kwd>Национальная библиотека</kwd><kwd>Национальный архив</kwd><kwd>публичные библиотеки</kwd><kwd>школьные библиотеки</kwd><kwd>специальные библиотеки</kwd><kwd>вузовские библиотеки</kwd><kwd>отраслевые библиотеки</kwd><kwd>автоматизированные библиотечные системы – KOHA</kwd><kwd>Symphony</kwd><kwd>сервисы библиотек</kwd><kwd>Библиотека Парламента</kwd><kwd>библиотека Намибийского института государственного управления и менеджмента</kwd><kwd>типы рукописей</kwd><kwd>типы записей</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">(1992) Republic of Namibia.
