Guidance for Academic Librarians
- An academic library may decide to conduct a workshop on Open Knowledge or Digital Knowledge Management for its academic library. It can narrow the focus by choosing one or more capability descriptors for the corresponding domains.
- An institution may wish to conduct CPD programmes for different professionals based on their own context. For example, a university in Kenya might adopt the framework for academic librarians and focus on domains such as Copyright and Licensing, E-Learning, and Partnerships and Collaborations, recognizing the library's crucial role in supporting the launch of a distance education programme for select faculties. The institution could integrate the theme of distance education, for example, into one or more of the domains in the framework.
