Description

Results of the survey of the Ubuntunet Alliance countries as part of the three regional LIBSENSE workshops aimed at capturing a landscape view of librarians’ roles in managing/operating Open Access repositories in Africa.

The results of these surveys and the discussions emerging from the workshops will, together, form the basis for a framework of key policy and capacity building actions and agreements on principles and requirements for the federation of Open Access repositories across the African regions
