The major outcome of the December 2009 e-resources workshops organized by OLE Rwanda in partnership with the Ministry of Education and INASP is the development of a strategic plan template to promote an understanding of challenges in accessing and using e-resources in Rwanda and to inform the development of e-resources “access point, selection and acquisition criteria, management of users records, building a library consortium, development of monitoring and evaluation guidelines and policy framework as well as training e-resources users”.
OLE Rwanda and partners shall organize 3 e-resources workshops in summer 2010 in the framework of implementing actions recommended in the strategic plan template.
Specific objectives of the workshops are:
a) To support the promotion of e-resources locally by reflecting on e-resources problem solving (acquisition, access and use) for Education, Science and Technology and Social Sciences.
b) To reflect on ways of harnessing the support of different partners and platforms in promoting e-resources.
c)To inform users on options to increase access, use and collection of Science, Technology, Biomedical, Education and Social Sciences e-resources.
