What are your goals for OA Week?

The aimed of the week long program is to enhance the usage of library resources and creating more awareness of the KNUST open access institutional repository (IR), as well as to encourage the university commmunity to help populate the repository by self archiving and depositing their research publications. Currently the rate at which contents are deposited in the repository is very low.

The Open Access Week program will be geared towards realization of the library’s mission; to provide quality information services that will empower the University in carrying out its core mandate: teaching, learning, research and community impact. The program will also promote open access publishing to harness the sharing and dissemination of information and knowledge globally.
