Librarians
Librarians play a crucial role in developing and emerging countries, both in promoting access to information and in supporting their user communities. INASP works closely with this community to strengthen existing skills and capacity to access, use and disseminate information.
Through the Programme for the Enhancement of Research Information (PERii), INASP cooperates with over 50 publishers and aggregators to facilitate access for eligible institutions and individual researchers to their resources within our partner and network countries. For more information, see the full list of publishers cooperating in PERii. To see which publishers, resource and activities are available within your country, please go to your country page using the Country Finder on the top right section of this screen.
INASP supports networks and associations through enabling skills training workshops, and by assisting in gaining access to online and other information.
