Digital Science Plans Free Online Course for Librarians in Africa
Digital Science announced the following:Open data practices in African research institutions will be bolstered thanks to a new online course for librarians to coincide with International Open Access Week (21–27 October 2024). The Open Data Management Foundational Course—to be offered entirely free over four weeks by open data experts—is a direct response to calls to strengthen the research data management capacity of librarians in Africa. The course will be facilitated by AfLIA, the African Library and Information Associations and Institutions, as part of an ongoing collaboration with Figshare—a world-leading provider of institutional repository infrastructure and part of Digital Science—and the Africa PID Alliance, part of the Open Infrastructure Program of the Training Centre in Communication (TCC Africa). Course leaders will include experts from Figshare, Digital Science and TCC Africa. For more information, read the news item.
