Lauer discusses the history of the International Library within the MSU Libraries and how MSU's involvement with the University of Nigeria at Nsukka during the 1960's created a demand by faculty for more books about Africa. Lauer talks about his own interest in African Studies, how he came to work at Michigan state and describes projects that he has been involved in over the years, both at MSU and on a national level.
