Considerations from NECOBELAC experience
Two years experience in training/networking show:
Key role of creating awareness on MIL among stakeholders
Role of collaboration and direct involvement of different stakeholders(researchers, teachers, students, librarians) to facilitate
- understanding of the issues at stake (health)- development of new skills (scientific writing and OA)- promotion of life long learning strategies - information exchange, communication and wider dissemination
Necessity to improve MIL skills at different levels
