Evaluation of constraints in use of electronic agricultural information resources at selected institutions of Higher Learning in Kenya

Abstract: 
This study aims at identifying the constraints in use of agricultural electronic resources in academic institutions and their contributions to development in agriculture. Limited access to agricultural e-resources has led to poor research output and at times duplication of efforts in agricultural and related sciences and scanty publication and dissemination.
Cette étude vise à identifier les contraintes dans l’utilisation des ressources électroniques agricoles dans les établissements universitaires et leur contribution au développement de l’agriculture. L’accès limité aux ressources électroniques agricoles a conduit aux résultats de recherche pauvre et au dédoublement dans les sciences agricoles et connexes, et la publication et la diffusion sont rares.

About the RUFORUM 2010 Biennal Conference
"The 2010 RUFORUM Biennial Conference was the second in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholders in agriculture.
