Journal access programmes in African university libraries

INASP carried out a survey of the journal access programmes that were being used in universities in Africa. The survey results obtained during 2003 formed a background document for two follow-up roundtables (in November 2003 and October 2004) between representatives of African universities, programme providers and publishers. The roundtables were enabled by the Association of Commonwealth Universities and INASP. This Infobrief describes the key outcomes and recommendations of these three activities.
