Research4Life Training: Access to academic resources in low and middle-income countries

Thursday and Friday, February 28 and March 1, 2019

The goal of Research4Life (R4L - www.research4life.org) is to reduce the knowledge gap between high- and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC’s) by providing free or low-cost access to online scholarly, professional and research information in five programs: 

Health and Social Science | Agriculture | Environment | Development and Innovation | Global Justice 

In 1 ½ days, learn how to use these tools to:  

  • Search in R4L portals to access research databases, e-journals and books
  • Identify R4L resources using Summon Search tool and PubMed
  • Explore key Internet resources to free material
  • Conduct R4L Training and promote the programs

Audience:

  • Graduate students returning to R4L- eligible institutions upon graduation
  • Researchers who are planning to work in LMIC’S, areas and territories who will promote R4L programs and train their LMIC colleagues how to use them
  • Librarians and educators interested in R4L training
