ILRI / ILRIComms

Using ILRI’s knowledge and information tools: Take a knowledge and communication safari

ILRI staff are very productive – they produce many sorts of knowledge and publish it in many forms and places. It can sometimes be a challenge to find and track it.

From 17-20 September, join one of 4 learning and awareness sessions in the Nairobi InfoCenter. Come and learn about the ‘big 5’ ILRI knowledge management and communication tools and approaches. For new staff, and older ones needing a refresher, each introduces the following tools:

  • Finding and following ILRI knowledge
  • Searching for ILRI and CGIAR information on CGSpace
  • Sharing updates with Yammer
  • Working with wikis
  • Using the ILRI website and updating your profile

When: 17 – 20 September, 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm (with tea and coffee).

Where: Nairobi InfoCenter
