Mandiaye Ndiaye
December 2014
INTRODUCTION
Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD) has a big university community composed in
2012 of 68777 students, 1329 teaching staff and 1313 non-teaching staff. With its 6 faculties,
23 schools and university institutes, 10 institutes of faculty, 7 doctoral schools and 166
research units, Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar has a critical mass of research outputs.
The central library is the depository of the thesis and dissertations defended at the university
and archived in its different digital libraries.
University of Dakar decided to take the opportunity of ICT and the dynamic of Open Access
to give new impetus to the policy of archiving, preservation and dissemination of its research
outputs, by establishing a central Open Access institutional repository at the university
Library.
Implementation and management of an OA IR require the active involvement of different
stakeholders of university community. That needs an advocacy campaign for a better
understanding of OA policies and IRs.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
- Commitment of the new Vice chancellor Pr Ibrahima Thioub as a champion. As
professor at the department of History he initiated and achieved the project of
digitizing 463 thesis and dissertations defended since 1963.
- Commitment of our champions, distinguish researchers Dr Abdou Salam Fall, Dr
Dieyi Diouf, Dr Bernard Dione, etc. as speakers during the campaign.
- A memo of the former vice chancellor inviting researchers and teachers to pass
through the library to submit their research outputs to the African and Malagasy
Council for Higher Education (CAMES). A digital copy is done by the library for all
the documents and a form completed by the applicant.
- 1016 articles and 41 new thesis never collected before have been received then.
- A new central platform developed by the IT staff of the library is launched and contain
beyond thesis and dissertations new articles received.

gained a better understanding of OA IRs and OA policies. They are empowered to
support the achievement of the project.

PARTICIPANTS FEEDBACK
‘’While I was professor, I myself led the fight for years. Today as vice chancellor, I will
support such an initiative, which comes on time’’. Pr Ibrahima Thioub
‘’An institutional repository is central for any researcher to publish as it says' ‘’publish or
perish’’. IR is based on the University Library but requires collaboration of different actors.
It is a service, technology, and individuals all well coordinated and well orchestrated.’’ Dr
Bernard Dione
‘’Scientific production is unknown and even not exploited. The researchers themselves do not
remember their own production. The IR should be a real stimulus for research. It may impact
on the scientific reputation or citation index because to be cited you must make your
production available’’. Dr Abdou Salam Fall
CHALLENGIES
After launching the campaign on Open Access week 2013, Dakar University had a lot of
disruptions during the academic year. A prolonged crisis in the campus did not allow an
outreach activity and lobbying. The activities planned between October 2013 and March 2014
was not done. So the project starts again with the beginning of the new academic year on
November 2014.
Multiply the champions committed to operate in the steering committee whatever the situation
at the university.
4
Revitalize and accelerate the work of the three committees (strategic, legal and technical) with
the adoption and compliance with the schedule of meetings.
Upgrade the software repository using the new skills acquired by librarians and IT staff of the
University as part of a sub-regional training on Invenio software.
LESSSONS LEARNED
Having short and attainable goals, keep the pace of activity and remain a factor of success in
the awareness campaign.
Necessity to have fully dedicated staff for the project and the real involvement of the top
management of the common service of documentation of the university is critical.
The involvement of content producers as advocates facilitates the process and provides new
strategies.
Make opportunism by exploiting the various events related to research or documentation in
the campus, to foster communication among peers facilitates ownership of project aims.
THE FUTURE
Make the new vice chancellor, chairman of the steering committee and register the project in
the top of his agenda.
Synthesize advocacy activities, identify key findings and new directions and submit them to
the vice chancellor.
Make visits by appointment to all deans, directors of institutes and graduate schools who did
not attend the policy makers session with Open Access Resource Kits products during the
campaign.
Canvassing in favor of the UCAD OA, by identifying 100 Friends of the Library among
researchers and for 10 volunteer’s laboratories accepting to upload their research products
before the end of committees work.
Launching competition game with a quiz on OA is not already done. Organize at the end of
the exhibition and reward winners with the rest of the promotional tools available (flash disk,
pins, caps, key ring, pens, etc)

PARTICIPANTS FEEDBACK ‘’While I was professor, I myself led the fight for years. Today as vice chancellor, I will support such an initiative, which comes on time’’. Pr Ibrahima Thioub ‘’An institutional repository is central for any researcher to publish as it says' ‘’publish or perish’’. IR is based on the University Library but requires collaboration of different actors. It is a service, technology, and individuals all well coordinated and well orchestrated.’’ Dr Bernard Dione ‘’Scientific production is unknown and even not exploited. The researchers themselves do not remember their own production. The IR should be a real stimulus for research. It may impact on the scientific reputation or citation index because to be cited you must make your production available’’. Dr Abdou Salam Fall CHALLENGIES After launching the campaign on Open Access week 2013, Dakar University had a lot of disruptions during the academic year. A prolonged crisis in the campus did not allow an outreach activity and lobbying. The activities planned between October 2013 and March 2014 was not done. So the project starts again with the beginning of the new academic year on November 2014. Multiply the champions committed to operate in the steering committee whatever the situation at the university.
  • 4. 4 Revitalize and accelerate the work of the three committees (strategic, legal and technical) with the adoption and compliance with the schedule of meetings. Upgrade the software repository using the new skills acquired by librarians and IT staff of the University as part of a sub-regional training on Invenio software. LESSSONS LEARNED Having short and attainable goals, keep the pace of activity and remain a factor of success in the awareness campaign. Necessity to have fully dedicated staff for the project and the real involvement of the top management of the common service of documentation of the university is critical. The involvement of content producers as advocates facilitates the process and provides new strategies. Make opportunism by exploiting the various events related to research or documentation in the campus, to foster communication among peers facilitates ownership of project aims. THE FUTURE Make the new vice chancellor, chairman of the steering committee and register the project in the top of his agenda. Synthesize advocacy activities, identify key findings and new directions and submit them to the vice chancellor. Make visits by appointment to all deans, directors of institutes and graduate schools who did not attend the policy makers session with Open Access Resource Kits products during the campaign. Canvassing in favor of the UCAD OA, by identifying 100 Friends of the Library among researchers and for 10 volunteer’s laboratories accepting to upload their research products before the end of committees work. Launching competition game with a quiz on OA is not already done. Organize at the end of the exhibition and reward winners with the rest of the promotional tools available (flash disk, pins, caps, key ring, pens, etc)
