- Digital resources for research: a review of access and use in African universities Reports
- This paper draws on a literature review undertaken by the ACU, as part of a study commissioned by Arcadia on the obstacles to accessing and using digital scholarly information in African universities. It outlines the principal issues which have been identified through existing programmes, studies and reviews, and summarises existing initiatives in this area. In doing so, it highlights a number of areas to be explored in greater depth during the subsequent phases of the project.

- Unlocking the potential: new opportunities for Commonwealth libraries Reports
- This first report of the ACU's Libraries and Information Network draws on a survey undertaken in 2008, and highlights the key role that libraries play, the challenges that they face, and their future potential. Libraries are delivering new and innovative services, are embracing changes in their role and responsibilities, and are securing greater support from within their institutions. They are doing this despite increasing pressures and growing demand. Substantial challenges remain, however; not least is the need for libraries and librarians to ensure that they are better positioned to make the most of new technologies.
