The recent news from Ethiopia about the newly built Abrehot Library in Addis Ababa is encouraging. I am sure that libraries like this one are invaluable for advancing academic discourse in the country, in east Africa, and beyond.
I presume that its management has made or would make arrangements for access to materials that are already online. Journal papers are some of the materials that researchers would be interested in to access online.
One of such journal papers, which is likely to be one of the more significant ones in the collection, is one that was published several years ago by Hydrological Processes. Its significance is opening up a new frontier of research regarding the attribution of climate change to natural variability and manmade elevated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It also points to the predictability of meteorological variability.
This research effort is yet to get wider traction among the academic community. It may be very likely that some researchers who go to Abrehot Library that are interested in climate science would benefit from getting access to this paper among others. It can be accessed online at: Validation of predicted meteorological drought in California using analogous orbital geometries.
So, I recommend that Abrehot Library include this journal paper in its collection.
