[Irtalk] SPARC Africa: capacitating Africa towards access to Open Scholarship

[Ina Smith]

Dear Colleagues

Thank you for actively promoting and advocating for Open Access during the past week, which ended up being quite busy and bringing other challenges to the fore - especially within the Higher Education arena.

LIASA would like to refer you to a blog article which was published on the SPARC Open Access Week 2015 blog page<http://www.openaccessweek.org/>, and which was authored by Lena Nyahodza (UCT Libraries Scholarly Communication Officer). Click on the following title to access: SPARC Africa: capacitating Africa towards access to Open Scholarship<http://www.openaccessweek.org/profiles/blogs/sparc-africa-capacitating-africa-towards-access-to-open>

LIASA's Open Access Standing Committee<http://www.liasa-new.org.za/standing-committees/> is chaired by Dr Reggie Raju.

Please remember to report on all OA activities that took place in your libraries - on social media, Liasa-in-Touch, annual Branch/IG reports, and more.

Kind regards
Ina
