INASP workshop by Martin Belcher

Electronic information resources: range and practicalities of access in low income countries. What types of electronic resources, such as journals and scholarly databases, are available for use in libraries, universities and research institutions in developing countries? What are the main strengths and weaknesses of the different types of e-resource? What different packages, licenses and agreements are needed to access
electronic resources? What are the access options available in developing countries? How might access to electronic resources evolve in the future?

 

E-resource use and the role of the university library. What are the
factors that impact on the use of electronic resources? What role does
your institutional library have in enabling effective and sustainable
access to such resources? What constraints affect your library?


The way forward. What practical steps can universities take to ensure that available information sources can be accessed by their staff and students?
How can researchers and administrators support this?
