UoN students trained on online library resources

Abstract

In a training organized by the United States Embassy in Kenya for the University of Nairobi Political Science Students' Association (NUPOSA) students were trained on how to use the American Reference Center resources and given free membership.

American Reference Center is a library with numerous resources for researchers. Through a live demo on online library resources, the students now have access to over 30 authoritative and up-to-date databases on different subjects, accessible from anywhere in the world.

The students also got information on internships, grants leadership trainings and scholarship programmes. In preparation for the job market, students also received placement details in line with their academic programme. Political Science is a governance discipline which tackles administrative, diplomacy and International affairs including a range of options one can pursue. Indeed, the visit was not only fun but informative.
