Access to Knowledge in Africa: The Role of Copyright
edited by C. Armstrong, J. De Beer, D. Kawooya, A. Prabhala, T. Schonwetter
The emergence of the Internet and the digital world has changed the way people access, produce and share information and knowledge. Yet people in Africa face challenges in accessing scholarly publications, journals and learning materials in general. At the heart of these challenges, and solutions to them, is copyright, the branch of intellectual property rights that covers written and related works.
Published by University of Cape Town Press in association with the International Development Research Centre, the Shuttleworth Foundation and the LINK Centre, Graduate School of Public and Development Management (P&DM), University of the Witwatersrand.
