In this session we'll introduce a new publication we launched at the Charleston Conference last fall, Katina!

By celebrating librarian contributions to open science, scholarship, and the enrichment of society, it provides a springboard for community discussion and engagement. Additionally, entering its 3rd year of implementation for all Annual Review's journals, we'll provide important updates on the Subscribe to Open (S2O) open access funding model.

Voices of the Global South

Wednesday March 5, 2025 2:00pm - 2:40pm PST

UNH 2218

We specialize in finding and preserving endangered materials—grey literature, primary sources, new media, voices from the Global South—and making them accessible. Research shows that three out of five people live in the Global South—in Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Oceania. Yet the Global South is severely underrepresented in academic libraries. As librarians around the world work to decolonize their collections, Coherent Digital has created several resources to close the representation gap. Africa Commons, for example, indexes and delivers over 500,000 African items from thousands of sources. It’s mobile friendly and can be viewed in more than 130 languages. We partner with African organizations to digitize and add new content.
