Letter from Mrs. John Gill Lemon to Mrs. Muir [Louie Strenzel Muir]

(3) It [grows] regions a foot and one [ ] and studied the Sequoias, pines, firs etc. And on one of the trips my comrade husband discovered a fine new lily. A species not-here-before reported. It was a good find in its sunny mountain home. We hear that the big, perfect crowned Sequoia in Rob Roy Canon is not to be cut down. This will be good [word] news to your Father. I am sure, if he has not already heard of it. With best wishes always Yours Truly Mrs John Gill Lemmo

OPEN DIGITAL REPOSITORIES: PROSPECTS OF AFRICAN COUNTRIES WITHIN THE GLOBAL INFORMATION SPACE

This study examines the contributions of African countries to open digital repositories in the world information space. Two online directories of open digital repositories were used as data sources. The OpenDOAR is an authoritative directory of academic open access repositories listing 3,670 repositories as at 6th January, 2019. The Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) is a directory of 4,580 institutional repositories and their contents as at 7th January, 2019. Extracted data were analysed using quantitative techniques and presented in tabular and pictorial formats to reveal findings in accordance with desired objectives. The results revealed that Dspace is the most preferred open digital repositories software across the world. The results showed that the contributions of African countries (3.78%) to open digital repositories in the world are low. The results also showed that only 22 African countries contribute to global open digital repositories and that the rate of contribution increased rapidly in the last few years. The study concludes that for Africa to overcome the challenges associated with open digital repositories there is need for more African countries to be involved in the African Open Access Initiative and the need to tap into the experiences of various professionals on the African continen

Building Capacity of Librarians for Knowledge and Skill Development: A Case Study of Nine Institutions of the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA)

Librarians have an important part to play in supporting research, training and developing the knowledge economies of nations. The changing roles of librarians and the attendant new skills and knowledge required to play these roles are a major challenge for libraries and librarians in developing countries, especially those in Africa. To meet this challenge, the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) seeks to promote development through advanced research training. In achieving this vision, librarians need to be empowered with knowledge and skills required to support teaching, learning and research in the continent. This is being implemented through the Consortium of CARTA Libraries (CCL), an alliance under CARTA, that aims to strengthen capacity and promote collaboration among librarians and libraries from CARTA institutions
