ReplyDeleteThe content of the Workshop is very good for our various assignments. I hope constant power supply and cheap Internet connectivity will enhance our efforts to improve ourselves in the use of the tools and also pass on the knowledge to librarians, lecturers, researchers and all who need information for the development of Africa.
