| dc.description | Evidence for cancer control principally comes from two
sources: population-based cancer registries providing
epidemiological data on cancer incidence, mortality and
survival, and reports of research (basic, translational, clinical
and economic) conducted in academic, clinical or commercial
settings. 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). | en |
