Website development workshop

The UR-Sweden library sub programmes has set as one of its goals to create a new website, which will serve as one common entry point to UR library services and resources and at the same time provide information about specific campus libraries.

A website group, chaired by the university librarian and team leader Dr. Robinah Namuleme, was trained by teachers from SSLIS at several occasions in 2016, and have been working in collaboration with the Swedish partners on the structure and content of the website.

Between the 6th and and the 8th of February 2017 the group, together with the main teacher Tuve Nordius and Veronica Trépagny (team leader), work with finalizing the web site up to a degree where we feel we will be able to share it with the university community and library users. Work with development of the website will continue, since all content is not yet in place (discovery tool, shared catalogue and institutional repository, for instance -- those are processes that run alongside this one).

Farewell dear participants!

So, now the workshop has finished and the participants have their certificates: “How to access and use e-resources provided by the University of Rwanda libraries”.
We, the facilitators and organizers, would like to thank all the participants for their engagement and hard works. Thanks also to the Principal of CBE who opened the workshop and to the Director of Research Innovation and Postgraduate Studies who was present at the closing ceremony.

Cascading workshop at UR-CBE.

More than thirty researchers and lecturers from CBE have been invited to attend a three day long workshop at CBE, Gikondo campus, March 7th to 9th.

They are learning more about e-resources and how to find information related to their topics and interests, both for research and teaching. Hands-on practice is an important part of the workshop and the participants work in groups with their exercises.
The workshop is facilitated by Muhebera Bizimana, co-facilitated by Alphonse Ngabonzima and Odette Gahongayire is administrating with the help of Marguerite Umubyeyi. We also have a librarian from CST who is participating, Umutesi Annonciatte.
