Busitema University is joining the rest of the World to celebrate the International Open Access Week starting Monday 15th through Friday 19th November 2021. While the official celebrations are in the month of October, and the Open Access Week is Monday 25th through Friday 29th October, Busitema University Library will hold its events when all the students have reported back to the University and the academic staff is less busy with teaching activities. Due to the Covid-19 assembly restrictions, the week-long celebrations will be conducted via Zoom. The theme of the 2021 Open Access Week is “It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity.” However, given the unique challenges that Busitema faces and to match with the series of activities suggested, our theme will be "It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Challenging Established Norms". Every day we shall hold a unique activity as per the programme: https://library.busitema.ac.ug/sites/default/files/2021-11/Schedule...
