Paper Abstract:
|
Access to information in order to generate research outputs is an important element for every academic institutions development and growth. In universities and research institutions these research outputs comes in the form of research papers, articles, Masters and Doctoral dissertations. The challenge is that these outputs can only be possible through access to adequate information. At the Masters and Doctoral levels information available in the local library is usually not adequate. This is because the output scope must be appealing to a wider audience and also potentially add value to the body of knowledge. This paper is a result of an investigation into the collaboration initiatives amongst Academic And Research Institutions (ARI) primarily focusing on access to electronic information. This paradigm and the relationships were investigated and analysed. The papers assesses the initiatives towards granting access to electronic information and proposes an ARI collaboration guidelines for best practice. |
