A group effort

Using regional and in-country expertise to ensure top-quality access to PERii resources

The PERii registration database is the cornerstone of access at INASP. It enables country-wide access to thousands of e-resources in over 20 countries. The database is a single system that allows each country to handle registration and access issues in a flexible way. However, as each country maintains different subscriptions and each institution must register individually, maintaining the database is no small task.

As part of our capacity building work, and in an effort to make troubleshooting and registration more streamlined, we introduced the Cross Country Working Group (CCWG) which makes use of in-country and regional expertise while also building networks.  This is a review of the successes and challenges of the CCWG.
