project which is supporting University libraries on the continent to showcase their research findings through capacity building/training workshops and in some case the donation of a server to be used in setting up institutional repositories. We are looking
forward to working with academic librarians on the continent. We want to engage with YOU. You tell us what you want the AAU to do or where to help so we provide such support for you institutions. We do not charge for our services, we are here to help you.
You can get more information about AAU at <a href="http://www.aau.org">http://www.aau.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
