In 2024, only 38% of Africa’s population used the internet, according to the ITU.1
For many students, access to digital learning still depends on what their institution makes visible, practical, and easy to use.
At Karatina University in Kenya, University Librarian Dr Everlyn Anduvare helped turn JoVE into a campus-wide teaching tool accessible to over 12,000 students. This work made her stand out as the 2025 JoVE Librarian Innovation Award winner.
Working with colleagues Ms Jackline Wanjiku and Ms Margaret Njeri Muiru at the Mwai Kibaki Library, Dr Anduvare built a practical model that reached faculty where they work and students where they learn.
