University of Tennessee and Makerere University Exchange Program
In April, 2002, The University of Tennessee Libraries and Makerere University Library Kampala, Uganda initiated a three-year program bringing the two campuses together with coopertive endeavors. Current projects include:
- Electronic Document Delivery and Resource Sharing
- Faculty Exchange and Training
- Digital Library Initiatives
- Exploration of additional cooperative ventures.
The collaborative effort has, thus far, focused on libraries but broader collaboration is desirable given the similar missions of the two universities.
The collaboration’s primary support comes from the Carnegie Corporation International Program part of the The Partnership for Higher Education in Africa and from the participant libraries.
