Cascading workshop at UR-CBE.

More than thirty researchers and lecturers from CBE have been invited to attend a three day long workshop at CBE, Gikondo campus, March 7th to 9th.

They are learning more about e-resources and how to find information related to their topics and interests, both for research and teaching. Hands-on practice is an important part of the workshop and the participants work in groups with their exercises.
The workshop is facilitated by Muhebera Bizimana, co-facilitated by Alphonse Ngabonzima and Odette Gahongayire is administrating with the help of Marguerite Umubyeyi. We also have a librarian from CST who is participating, Umutesi Annonciatte.

Updating the list of e-resources

This week and the next I'm in Rwanda working with UR library staff to verify that the list of e-resources is updated. This is the list of INASP resources which you find at the UR website / Resources / Electronic resources.
We have removed the e-resources where the subscription has been discontinued and we have added the e-resources which are new for 2016.
