1st CERN-UNESCO/IBSP School on Digital Libraries (part II) - Geneva, Switzerland

The CERN-UNESCO School on Digital Libraries Part II was held at CERN from 12th November to 18th December 2009. It was a joint initiative of CERN and UNESCO, organized by the CERN Scientific Information Service. The School held at CERN was a continuation for the first part of the School, held in Kigali in September 2009. The participants came from academic institutions of Rwanda and Mozambique. The aim of the second part of the School was to make use of and deepen the knowledge gained during the Kigali part of the School. This was done by extensive follow-up consultations and follow-up training. The idea of the intensive training was not only to train the participants in using tools and enhancing their knowledge in order to facilitate their work back at their home institutes. Another point of view was to coach them such that the participants would be able to share their knowledge and tutor their colleagues both in their home institutions and in other academic institutions of their country.
