This is where the library team working within the Sida Research Training Parntership Programme cooperation between Swedish universities and the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) in Mozambique are going to communicate. Here, we will share what we are here for, what our aims are, what we do and how you can learn more. We want to include all librarians and library staff working within the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane libraries in our communication, but others are also welcome to follow us.
The Sida research cooperation aims at creating an environment even more conducive for research and the formulation of problems and theories adressing Mozambique's own challenges. For any research based university, a modern research library is needed. The vision of the central library of the UEM is "to be a modern research library and center of excellence in technical and scientific information". As (also) described in the concept note for the Central Library Programme, its mission is further to "bring together necessary information resources for teaching and research a at Eduardo Mondlane University in particular and in the country in general".
Together with the Swedish partners University of Borås (the Swedish School of Library and Information Science AND the University library) and the Blekinge Institute of Technology library, the project aims at creating ways of developing the libraries through competence building (PhD training, masters training, short courses, workshops), access to e-resources and an infrastructural push.
