The Documentary Information Marketplace

The stakes of documentary information and its management push companies and public and private administrations to call upon private consulting firms in documentary information sciences. These firms subscribe to calls for tenders and win contracts for the establishment, organization and management of archives, libraries or documentation centers. These contracts are often executed by EBAD graduates looking for their first job in addition to other types of professionals solicited. This has impacts not only on the profession and the management of documentary information but also on professionals, especially young EBAD graduates seeking employment. The documentary information market in Senegal is active and promising for the profession and documentary information professionals if the various players manage to position themselves and exploit it appropriately.
