Cape Town, Western Cape
I'm Lena Nyahodza, a scholarly communication librarian at the University of Cape Town Libraries. I am passionate about open sharing of content in general and its benefits to humanity, particularly to the less privileged communities. I manage both the green and the diamond open access at UCT Libraries, checking for metadata quality and copyright clearance for content self-archived in the institutional repository (OpenUCT). As a department we train early career researchers and academics on open access publishing, including copyright issues and open licenses. I am currently working on my PhD proposal aiming to develop a strategy that promote the advancement of open scholarship.
