FAO - ZAR4DIN Coordinator Visits ZARI

Tuesday, 30th August, 2010 will go down in history as a very memorable day for Mt. Makulu, ZARI. For it was on this day that the FAO coordinator for ZAR4DIN, Dr. Justin Chisenga, took time off his busy schedule to tour the ZARI information and documentation centre at the library and biometrics.Dr. Chisenga stressed that it was important for ZARI to make use of the available resources, i.e. computers, scanners and what-have-you- in order to kick-start the programme of digitizing the  documentation unit.
Dr. Chisenga's tour was scheduled to familiarize himself with the current status of information centres, vis-a-viz challenges and opportunities, within the framework of the Zambia Agriculture Research for Development Information Network (ZAR4DIN).
The FAO leader was led through the tour by Mrs Jane Namangala (Librarian), who was acting team leader for ZARI's Central Services at the time.
