Title A name given to the resource Dark tourism Exploring tourist's experience at the Cape Coast Castle, Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This paper investigates tourists' experience of the Cape Coast Castle in Ghana. Using a phenomenological research design, we explored the experiences of the tourist who visited the Castle. We used data from the Tripadvisor website and analyzed it thematically. The findings show that dark tourism experience is conceptualized from cognitive and emotional perspectives. Furthermore, the results show that tourists' experiences are shaped and co-constructed with the tourist guards and the artefacts available at the sites. Additionally, our results show tourists who visit dark tourist sites do not experience only anxiety and sorrow but excitement as well. The results also show that tourists who are of African descent see the Cape Coast Castle as a symbol of their identity and these tourists adopt the Castle as part of their personal identity. The implications of the findings are discussed at the end of the paper.

Title A name given to the resource The usage of Electronic Databases in Academic Libraries in Ghana. The Experience of Ghana Communication Technology University Library (GCTUL) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Samuel Ameyaw, Frempong-Kore Afua Description An account of the resource This study examines the use of electronic databases (e-databases) by faculty members at the Ghana Communication Technology University Library (GCTUL). The study used a descriptive research method. Copies of the questionnaire were used for the data collection. Due to the manageable population, no sampling method was used in this study. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS 21.0) was used for data analysis. The results showed that most faculty members were aware of the availability of databases in the library. Additionally, the findings established that Emerald, as well as Taylor and Francis, were ranked highly in terms of availability and accessibility. The study identified problems such as difficulty in downloading information as well as poor internet connectivity. Based on the results, the study recommended that library management should address all the challenges that users encounter as soon as possible. This result should be a timely and relevant commodity for policymakers and stakeholders in private and public academic libraries.

Title A name given to the resource Factors influencing rheological and textural qualities in chocolate–a review Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler Description An account of the resource Chocolate, a complex emulsion, is a luxury food that during consumption evokes a range of stimuli that activate pleasure centres of the human brain. Central to chocolate quality is an appropriate melting behaviour so that products are solid at ambient temperature and on ingestion melt to undergo dissolution in oral saliva, with a final assessment of texture after phase inversion. Particle size distribution and ingredient composition play important roles in shaping its rheological behaviour and sensory perception but are poorly understood. With opportunities for improvements in quality possible through improved and more transparent supply chain management, plant breeding strategies and new product development, associated with fair trade and development of niche premium quality products, there is a need for greater understanding of variables.

Title A name given to the resource Resource Acquisition and the Role of Collection Development Policy in the Development of Ghana Communication Technology University Library Collection. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bitherman, Benedicta Krampah Akoto;Frempong-Kore, Afua Description An account of the resource The study was carried out to ascertain the significance of collection development policy in some public academic libraries in Ghana with Ghana Communication Technology University as the case study. The study adopted a case study design and used a qualitative method in its examinations. A self-designed interview schedule was used to solicit information from the staff library. The study participants included the head librarian, deputy librarian and four (4) assistant librarians. The face-to-face interview method was used as a data collection instrument for this study-content analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that the university library has a CDP which is reviewed biennially. However, further findings revealed that even though CDPs exist in the library it does not feature much when it comes to acquisitions. It was recommended that management of the library should make a conscious effort to use the policy to guide acquisitions.

Title A name given to the resource Flavor formation and character in cocoa and chocolate: a critical review Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Angela Ryan Description An account of the resource Chocolate characters not only originate in flavor precursors present in cocoa beans, but are generated during post-harvest treatments and transformed into desirable odor notes in the manufacturing processes. Complex biochemical modifications of bean constituents are further altered by thermal reactions in roasting and conching and in alkalization. However, the extent to which the inherent bean constituents from the cocoa genotype, environmental factors, post-harvest treatment, and processing technologies influence chocolate flavor formation and relationships with final flavor quality, has not been clear. With increasing speciality niche products in chocolate confectionery, greater understanding of factors contributing to the variations in flavor character would have significant commercial implications.

Title A name given to the resource Collection Development Practices in Academic Libraries in Ghana: The Case of Ghana Communication Technology University Library Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Afua Frempong-Kore1 , Benedicta Krampah Akoto Bitherman2 , and Gordon Derby3 Description An account of the resource This study was conducted to ascertain the collection development practices at Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) Library. The study set out to find out if there exists a collection development policy at GCTU library. The population of the study was grouped into two main categories, namely users of the library and the library staff. In the selection of students, the simple random sampling technique was used to select the participants. The general population for library staff was used. The sample size of the student participants was 226 comprising 120 male, 106 female students, and 16 library staff. Data for the study was collected through questionnaire and interviews. The SPSS was used to analyze the questionnaire and content analysis used to analyse the interviews. The findings revealed that the GCTU library has a collection development policy even though it does not guide selection so much. Findings again indicated that the library has both print and electronic resource for its users, as well as 24-hour internet services but it is not too stable. It was recommended that the supply of internet to the library should be improved to aid the access to the library’s e-resources.
