For university and research communities throughout the world, finding high quality, relevant information is becoming increasingly frustrating and difficult. A first step in this process is to get to know what the researchers want, or need.
PERI allows for a number of workshops in 'internet' training.
Another aspect that has come to light is the provision of opportunities for experience in accessing and working with online resources to enhance skills in evaluation and selection of appropriate materials, both in terms of access platforms and in content. On-line information provides new management challenges for librarians and researchers and PERI has also been asked to explore the possibility of training to enhance and develop skills in this area. Additionally, a planning workshop is being held in October, bringing together Facilitators and trainers from nine university library systems in Africa to review the experience gained from the 'Travelling ' Internet workshop programme, and to discuss the ways in which librarians can be trained to assist researchers in the supply of on-line resources.
