Summary:
"From November 2018 - April 2019, LIBSENSE conducted workshops in each of the three major regions in Africa bringing the library and NREN communities together to define a shared agenda for progressing open science and open access in these regions. Each workshop, which contributed to priority setting in each region, also built upon the outcomes of preceding discussions.
To date, there have already been several concrete outcomes of the LIBSENSE initiative, including:
- Terms of Reference for NREN-Library collaboration in African countries
- Metadata guidelines for repositories
-
Plans for a regional repository hosting service
-
National and institutional policy templates
LIBSENSE will continue to assist countries and regions in Africa to undertake new activities and act as a forum for information exchange across the continent and amongst the different stakeholder communities...."
