of Mekelle University,
PO Box 231 Mekelle,
Ethiopia

About STIMULATE
A three month’s training in Belgium
sponsored by VLIR
At the Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Contents :
Information Management e.g. using ISISdatabase software family and Greenstone
Webpages authoring
- Quantitative methods and bibliometrics
- Internet searching methods

Suggestions for improvement
Accomodation : expensive and bad quality
of connection in end-of-corridor rooms
Suggestion : to discuss with the management of
Erasmus about connection and more kitchen
equipment, TV-room separate

Study materials : expensive (100 euro)
Suggestion : make us pay less for the materials

Strong points of the program’s contents
Classes in Jette campus very near the
rooms, (Etterbeek is difficult to reach)
Very interesting visits with good travel
arrangements – we want more of this !

Best components
The visits – all of them were very nice !
And also interesting as they allowed to
learn more about the country.
Most interesting classes :
webpages editing
ISIS

Not so good components
Statistics
Lecturing too fast
Difficult use of calculator

Internet searching
Unclear lecturing
Difficult assignment, insufficiently prepared
during class

Recommendations for my own library
Building a digital library with our own
documents using Greenstone software
already planned

Improving connectivity to the Internet as
we have seen how powerful it can be as
an information resource
