Unlocking Knowledge in Bobo: SITARAIL Partners with YousScribe to Bring Digital Library Access to Local Higher Education Schools
SITARAIL Transfers Access Codes to YousScribe Digital Library in Bobo-Dioulasso
Following the successful transfer of access codes in Ouagadougou, SITARAIL has extended its support to higher education institutions in Bobo-Dioulasso. On September 19, 2024, the company handed over access codes to the YousScribe digital library to three prominent schools in the region.
Beneficiary Institutions
The institutions that received access codes from SITARAIL include the Nazi Boni University, the Burkinabè Business School, and the Railway Vocational School. This initiative aims to provide students with unlimited access to a vast collection of digital resources, thereby enhancing their academic and research capabilities.
A Modest Contribution to the Academic Community
According to Sibnoaga Alexis Ouédraogo, SITARAIL Representative in Burkina Faso, “Access to documentary resources is often a challenge for students and institutions. This initiative is a modest contribution from SITARAIL to support the academic community in their research endeavors.” The company’s decision to support these institutions is part of its social responsibility policy, which aims to promote academic and professional training among future leaders.
Unlimited Access Codes
A total of 1,500 unlimited access codes will be made available to 12 schools in Ouagadougou, Bobo-Dioulasso, and Koudougou. These codes will grant students access to the world’s largest digital library, featuring over 2 million books. In addition to the schools in Bobo-Dioulasso, ENAM and Norbert Zongo University in Koudougou will also receive YousScribe codes in the coming days.
Appreciation from Beneficiary Institutions
The support from SITARAIL has been well-received by the beneficiary institutions. Joceline Sanou and Traoré, representative of the Burkinabè Business School, expressed their gratitude, stating that “Access to documentation has always been a challenge for our students. We appreciate SITARAIL’s donation of YousScribe codes, which will enable our students to access essential resources and enhance their research capabilities.”
