The Management of the University of Ghana Library System (UGLS) wishes to announce to the University Community the 2023 Library and Open Science Week Celebration.

Open Science Week, a global event now, is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Science, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Science a new norm in scholarship and research.

The week is also set aside to highlight the role of libraries in facilitating teaching, learning and research with emphasis on the provision of innovative library and information services to the University community.
