In sub-Saharan Africa access to the former is improving with the support of the African Cancer Registry Network, but the latter remains problematic, with the lack of digitization making external access to valuable academic research particularly difficult. One project across five countries is trying to fill this gap by increasing access to locally published literature on cancer and by ensuring that it will be hosted in institutional repositories and made accessible globally. A concerted action by a high-level network of African librarians in five countries has aimed to change that paradigm by creating institutional repositories that are searchable by anyone from any location worldwide. These DIRs aim facilitate the dissemination of research output produced locally in the member countries of the Network of African Medical Librarians (NAML) as well as to the rest of the world. The ADHL project is implemented by NAML. It is locally led by medical librarians who, with the guidance of the principal investigators, have been collaborating and planning the project for several years. The Network comprises medical librarians from academic institutions in Kenya (Kenya Methodist University and University of Nairobi), Mali (Bamako University of Science and Technology), Nigeria (University of Ibadan), Zambia (University of Zambia) and Zimbabwe (University of Zimbabwe). 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4471 ADHL: Mobile App Development Planning Muziringa, Masimba 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4470 Zimbabwe ADHL Mutsikiwa, Admire; Muziringa, Masimba; Ngidi, Pertunia 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4469 African Digital Health Library (ADHL), Zambia Mwafulilwa, Celine; Kanyengo, Christine W.; Chulu, Francis; Bimbe, Nason 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4468 African Digital Health Library, University of Ibadan, Nigeria: Site Presentation at NAML Workshop, KU Ajuwon, Grace A.; Agwu, Patrick; Omoghbe, Godwin 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4467 Institutional Repository (IR) Implementation at the University of Nairobi Otando, Rosemary 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4466 ADHL Mali: Bibliothèque Numérique Sanitaire Africaine Anne, Abdrahamme 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4465 Kenya Methodist University ADHL ICT Components Machiri, Simon 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4464 Kenya Methodist University Digital Repository Kamau, Nancy; Mwiti, Faith; Machiri, Simon Office of Global AIDS/U.S. Department of State and the U.S. National Library of Medicine / National Institutes of Health 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z https://library.adhl.africa/handle/123456789/4463 ADHL Content Aggregation: Finding content Across multiple repositories Anne, Abdrahamme 2018-10-01T00:00:00Z
