DONATE TO EIFL
The EIFL Public Library Innovation Award call for libraries advancing AI literacy in their communities is now open, and we look forward to receiving exciting applications. We’re sharing results from three projects to strengthen no-fee (Diamond) OA journals in Africa and resources for journal managers and editors. We’ve renewed two agreements with publishers, and one with a software company, which benefit scholars in our partner countries. And we've produced several new resources for library trainers, including a series of ‘Small Bites’ videos for public library trainers and a helpful checklist for planning hybrid events. You can see our events, past and present, here. Enjoy the issue!
