am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia
(CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open
Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project
of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect
from 1 July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote
Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy.<span> </span>The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also
recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open

strands of discussion: One for Librarians and the other for Researchers. This
week we start with training needs for Librarians…</span>
