Recent studies of academic librarians have included newer universities to assess trends in academic libraries. Studies such as Mbambo (2006: 184) have found that subject librarianship is often an internal arrangement within the library and may not be recognised through the university structures. Chikozo et.al. (2014) confirm the findings on Mbambo as they found that current the roles and responsibilities of academic librarians in Zimbabwe were not reflected in their job descriptions.
