“…The findings reveal that all of the librarians were implementing the FAIR principles by ensuring that the indigenous knowledge collections they had in their libraries were accessible and findable through the classification and cataloguing processes that were undertaken after the acquisition process (see also Balogun, 2023a; Farnel, 2020; Montenegro, 2019; Nakata et al, 2005). In the academic and special libraries, indigenous knowledge materials were findable via catalogues and accessible through institutional repositories and web portals.…”

“…Librarians play a crucial role in ensuring that these principles are applied when acquiring, preserving and disseminating indigenous knowledge in the digital era.

Indigenous knowledge should have a clear and accessible identifier that makes it easy to find and locate.…”
