UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN
KENYA
7 Public Universities (public funds)18 Private Universities ( funds from parent institutions and fees)Total student population (90,000) - 2006
FORMATION OF KLISC (Consortium)
SCANUL-ECS in 2002Decreasing budgetsPressure from PERI InitiativeCollective Subscription
RATIONALE FOR KLISC
Need to share costs and resourcesAvoid duplication and overlapConsolidate capacity developmentAn opportunity to network
OVERVIEW TO INASP & PERI
International Network for Availability of Scientific Publication (INASP)Program for the Enhancement of Research Information (PERI)Charity Organization From 2000 to assist developing countries :- Access, disseminate, evaluate and utilize e-resources? Capacity building
OTHER E-RESOURCES INITIATIVES
HINARI ( Health Internetwork Access to Research Initiatives) – WHO effortsAGORA (Access to Global online Research in Agriculture) – FAO efforts
THE SURVEY
AIMS/OBJECTIVEChallenges and way forward
METHODOLOGYSample: - Public and Private Universities
- Electronic questionnaire and telephone
- Data Analysis
RESULTS OF THE SURVEY
Accessibility and Usage► E-Resources and ICT facilities► Marketing and Publicity► Budgets and Costs► Capacity building► Staffing and Management of e-
resources
Accessibility &Usage/E-resources & ICT Facilities
Types &Formats-journals, full-text, e-books, citation databases, AV materialsPrint Versions with or without onlineAvailability of computers (Av. 15-50)Computer LabsInternet Connectivity (full internet,
controlled access where #s are large)
Accessibility & Usage (Continued)
User Education / Information Literacy
User Education to New UsersExaminable Information Literacy ModulesProblems of yahooing and googling (complexity of e-resources
Budgets & Costs
►Public Universities- US$24,000 each►Private Universities-US$5,000 each►Research Institutions- US$ 2,400 each►Total Paid by consortium in 2006
$186,000►Journals accessible 15,000 journal titles►Estimated cost if one went alone ► $700,000
Budgets & Costs (Continued)
Concerns being raised
Price increases at short noticesNeed for more members to join Consortium
Capacity Building
Consortium handles specialized trainingConfusion caused by ICT Departments taking up trainingManagement of e-resources in Computer Labs away from the libraries.
Marketing & Publicity
Strategies used
►Emails, User Guides, Newsletters/Bulletins, Notices/Alerts
►User Education/Information Literacy
Staffing & Management of e-resources
Staffing Structures
Reorganize existing departments New establishments Re-train staff Consortium training initiatives
IMPACT OF KLISC ON MANAGEMENT OF E-RESOURCES
Coordination hiccupsLong decision making chainsUniform digitization of librariesCooperative network across the borders
Conclusion & Recommendations
More Challenges
►Funding (Cooperation with faculty and University Admin.
►Automate Library Services (LMS &ERMS)►Accessibility and Password (Need to have labs managed from the libraries►Reduced complexity from the publishers►Open Access (Library Portals (BioMed and NeLH models
ICT Infrastructure
►Bandwidth problems►Power outages►Increased # of computers►Computer labs
