Research4Life, an organization that offers free or low-cost access to academic and peer-reviewed papers, is holding a webinar to show users how they can use the service.
The Agricultural Information Management Standards (AIMS) Community in

Research4Life is a public-private partnership of the WHO, FAO, UNEP, WIPO, Cornell and Yale Universities, the International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers and over 200 international scientific publishers. It provides developing countries with free or low cost access to academic and professional peer-reviewed content online. Eligible libraries and their users benefit from online access to up to 68,000 peer-reviewed international scientific journals, books, and databases in the areas of health, agriculture, environment and technology.
The overall goal of Research4Life is to empower research institutions in developing countries and to reduce knowledge gaps.
This webinar will illustrate how Research4Life works, how it is constructed and who can join the partnership. It will briefly present the four Research4Life programs Hinari, AGORA, OARE and ARDI that provide access to the research areas. It also will give an overview about free training provided on the website and give examples of how Research4Life could make a difference for many research institutions.
The session is open to anyone but places are limited. If you are interested to attend the webinar, send an e-mail to AIMS@fao.org, containing the following information: your name, affiliation, email, country and which webinar you would like to attend.
