Darlington Musemburi

I am an Information and Knowledge Management Specialist with over a decade of experience in academic libraries, digital resource curation, and research support across disciplines. I have developed deep expertise in online literature searching, systematic reviews, and digital information literacy training. Recently, my work has expanded into AI literacy education and internet governance advocacy, with a focus on empowering students, educators, and librarians across Africa to navigate the evolving digital landscape safely and critically. I design and facilitate workshops on AI fundamentals, digital ethics, disinformation, and responsible internet use, ensuring that technology serves as a tool for inclusion not exclusion.
