UNESCO Harare
establishes an ISIS User Group in Malawi.
A five-day training workshop organized and
conducted by UNESCO Harare Cluster Office’s Communication and
Information Sector, in partnership with the Malawi National
Commission, set up the Malawi ISIS User Group called Malisis.
The group is mandated to continue holding further training on
CDS/ISIS.
The workshop, held in Lilongwe, Malawi from
August 28 to September 1, 2006 aimed at building the capacity of
librarians and information practitioners in the region
in the application of web technologies to information
management, particularly using the CDS/ISIS and GENEISIS tools.
14 participants from the cluster countries of
Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe attended the workshop.
The training proved effective and participants now need more
time to consolidate the concepts learnt, especially in GENEISIS.
This is why follow-up training to consolidate concepts via the
concerned NATCOMs was one of the recommendations, in addition to
encouraging the setting-up of effective ISIS User Groups in the
other cluster countries.
