Enhancing librarians' ICT skills for research enablement in African universities: a Carnegie CPD programme

The Department of Information Science, University of Pretoria, was awarded a grant by the Carnegie Corporation of New York to offer eight four-week residential continuing professional development (CPD) programmes for qualified librarians from Sub-Saharan Africa, for the period 2014 - 2016.
The aims of the programme are to:
·         Empower the next generation of library and information professionals within Sub-Saharan African countries with hands-on skills to apply current and emerging information and communication technologies (ICTs);
·         Build capacity amongst library and information services (LIS) professionals to support and enable researchers.
