The HSC library kicks off a new cycle of webinars

In March 2020, the Hernan Santa Cruz (HSC) Library will once again be hosting a cycle of mini-workshops in the form of webinars. Since 2016, under the LEARN Project, these ECLAC Library webinars have offered a platform for colleagues and collaborators from various institutions from all over Latin America and the Caribbean to share knowledge and discuss ideas. The webinars engage professionals around issues related to libraries and information, open access, open science and research data management. The 2019 cycle promoted discussion and understanding on topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in the Latin American and Caribbean region, see the archived content here of past webinars: https://biblioguias.cepal.org/webinars.
