The value of repositories increases significantly when they are connected through value added services. Research and education networks (RENs) provide connectivity for university communities and are also building so-called 'above-the-net' services such as secure network access and identity federation services (e.g. eduroam and eduGAIN). In Africa, the research and education networks are already playing a role to support open science and add value to African repositories and they are interested in increasing and expanding this role in collaboration with libraries. The LIBSENSE project is exploring collaborations between repositories and RENs in order to support the aims of both communities. As a first step, a workshop was organized by WACREN (West and Central Africa Research and Education Network) with support from COAR, OpenAIRE, EIFL and UbuntuNet Alliance in November 2018. The workshop brought together representatives from 17 African countries representing national repository networks and NRENs. This was the first in a series of meetings to develop a more cohesive strategy for strengthening and building repository networks in Africa through the adoption of value added services for repositories by NRENs. |
