Updating the list of e-resources

This week and the next I'm in Rwanda working with UR library staff to verify that the list of e-resources is updated. This is the list of INASP resources which you find at the UR website / Resources / Electronic resources.
We have removed the e-resources where the subscription has been discontinued and we have added the e-resources which are new for 2016.

United Nations iLibrary now available

Available from February 2016, the United Nations iLibrary provides access to knowledge products created by the United Nations Secretariat, and its funds and programs.

To begin with, United Nations iLibrary includes publications, journals and series comprising facts and expertise on international peace and security, human rights, economic and social development, climate change, international law, governance, public health, and statistics.
N.B. Use the READ-button to access the materials for free. (The pdf format is only available for subscribers.)

Why this blog

This blog reflects the cooperation between the Swedish School of Library and Information Science (SSLIS) at the University of Borås (UB), the library at the Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), and the library of the University of Rwanda within the framework of the Sida Research Training Partnership Programme Sweden-Rwanda: UR-Sweden Programme for Research, Higher Education and Institutional Advancement. Our sub programme is simply called "the Library sub programme".

Our aim is for the library sub programme to be transparent and shared by all UR librarians. The focus here is on capacity building with and for the libraries. But our intention is also to give information about the overall programme and its activities, especially those with impact on the UR and our sub progamme.
