EIFL’s partner consortium, the Kenya Libraries and Information Services Consortium (KLISC), is organizing a workshop on Open Journal Systems (OJS) and open access publishing for Meru University of Science and Technology and their African Journal of Science, Technology and Social Sciences. The workshop will also mark the launch of the OJS publishing platform for the university.

Facilitators are Dr George Gitau, Chief University Librarian at Kenyatta University and EIFL Open Access Coordinator in Kenya; Iryna Kuchma, EIFL Open Access Programme Manager; Miriam Ndungu, Librarian at Co-operative University of Kenya; Edward Safari, ICT Consultant at Kenyatta University, and Bernard Shiundu, Systems Librarian at Strathmore University. 

The workshop is part of the EIFL-funded project ‘OA journal publishing using OJS for universities in Kenya’, which aims to establish publishing platforms for hosting research output in the form of journals from the country’s 22 research institutions.
