DONATE TO EIFL
In this newsletter, we share two blogs by EIFL team members: Teresa Hackett explores how COVID-19 has highlighted obstacles presented by copyright laws to research and digital preservation, and Iryna Kuchma blogs about developments in open science practices in Africa. We announce a new public library project to help narrow the digital divide in Uganda, and bring you news about two renewed agreements with publishers. COVID-19 continues to prevent face-to-face meetings and events, but we’ve been busy, organizing and taking part in online meetings, workshops and webinars. Read all about our past and future events here.
