+ | |||
+ | Mohan emphasized that the main objective of the training is to bring in more users capable of using VuFind. Based on last year's experience, the training is being broken down into two parts: basic and advanced. The basic course will be conducted by coordinators in various countries, supported by Mohan. This will be focused in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Namibia for 2022. Participants from these classes will be eligible for the advanced course. In the advanced courses, Demian will be involved for a day or two of work; participation from other PMC members would be helpful if possible, which is why Mohan has requested CVs from PMC members. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mohan provided names of nominated country coordinators: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Nepal: Lila Niyaichai | ||
+ | * Sri Lanka: Mariyapillai Jayakananth | ||
+ | * Namibia: Bravismore Mumanyi | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was some discussion of the MOU and the course content, and Mohan will share syllabi for basic and advanced training courses through the training.vufind.org website. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is some urgency to get country coordinators approved so that they can begin working, but there was not enough time on the call to reach consensus and clarity. This highlights a need for a clearer PMC decision-making process for the future. For now, further discussion of this issue will be addressed through email. | ||
