Strengthening research information production, access and use in Honduras
Three years for a project attempting to make significant contribution towards development of a research culture across a whole country. Ambitious indeed but this is what a joint UNAH, Sida and INASP project was set up not only to do in Honduras, but to do it sustainably so that the benefits would continue long past its project life. Three years on and the project has achieved much of what it set out to do and put in place conditions for the steps taken to continue and develop. 2012

The Use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in African Public Library (Infobrief 3)

Towards the Digital Library in Africa (Infobrief 5)
In 2004 INASP commissioned a survey of the current status of library digitisation in sub-Saharan Anglophone Africa, so as to draw conclusions on where future developments and investments might be made, and what can be learnt from the implementation of digitisation within the continent. (2005)
