Digital technology has revolutionized the ways in which we access and share information, communicate and learn.
However, billions of people around the world are still unable to reap the benefits.

EIFL partners with libraries and library consortia,
as we believe that this is the most sustainable way to improve access to
knowledge.

Groups of libraries that -
• Share common goals.
• Speak with one voice to
policymakers and funders.
• Include university, research and
public libraries, and other
institutions.
• Share resources and activities.
• Reach millions of users
efficiently.
WHAT ARE LIBRARY
CONSORTIA?

WHO IS PALICO?
6
PALICO ( Palestinian Library and
Information Consortium) introduced in
2005 is a body of 17 Universities and
Colleges.
The Committee of Academic Libraries
which was established in 1987 under
the umbrella of the Ministry of Higher
Education is the core body of this
consortium.

Access to commercial e-resources is essential for research and education.
High subscription costs and inadequate connectivity create a major barrier
for libraries and their users in developing and transition countries.

COPYRIGHT & LIBRARIES: THE CHALLENGE
Restrictive copyright laws create legal barriers to using resources for education, research and socio-economic development.

Research is critical to improving development and solving global health,
agriculture and environmental challenges. However the majority of the world’s
peer-reviewed articles are locked in subscription journals, inaccessible to
researchers in developing and transition countries.
OPEN ACCESS:THE CHALLENGE

THE CHALLENGES
• Use of ICT’s in teaching, learning and research is now vital, as is being part of networks for academic and research collaboration.
• Academic and research libraries support teaching and research, and must be equipped with appropriate technologies and be partners in the networks.
• Electronic resources are invaluable research tools that increasingly replace print-based resource.
• E-resources are underutilized due to slow connectivity, and other reasons such as inadequate computer infrastructure.
• Connectivity is inadequate to allow sharing of e-resources across networks or remote access by researchers off campus.
• Open Access institutional repositories can not be accessed easily when connectivity is poor despite their potential to increase use, visibility and impact of research output.

• To ensure the availability and accessibility of affordable high bandwidth in academic and research libraries in support of research and development, and academic teaching and learning.
• To contribute significantly to improved connectivity and affordable high bandwidth in libraries for the wide use (on and off-campus) of electronic resources (commercial and open access) by research and academic institutions.
WHY DOES IT MAKE SENSE FOR LIBRARIES AND NRENs TO COOPERATE?

• INVOLVEMENT IN NRENS MEETINGS TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND DISCUSS DEVELOPMENTS.
• PALICO/ NREN JOINT ADVOCACY TO IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY;
PALICO IN TURN CAN FURNISH STATISTICS OF ACCESS AND DOWNLOADS IN PALESTINE AND OTHER EIFL COUNTRIES TO SHOW ACTUAL & POTENTIAL DATA TRAFFIC.
• SHARING OF E-RESOURCES ON A WIDER LEVEL.
• ENCOURAGE OPEN ACCESS PUBLISHING TO IMPROVE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION.
POTENTIAL AEREAS FOR COLLABORATION BETWEEN LIBRARIES AND NRENs
