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
