The African Digital Library

By : Ariel Lebowitz and Laura Banfield

In the late 1990s, Paul G. West, then the Director of the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Technikon, South Africa, was on an overnight flight from Washington to Los Angeles with a four-hour layover in Denver. Instead of putting on his headphones and ignoring the people around him, he started chatting with the passenger in the seat next to him. The passenger turned out to be the first CEO of netLibrary, a division of OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc., based in Boulder, Colorado, and an e-content provider for libraries and publishers. As the two chatted, they began to realize how they might be able to work together to create something meaningful. The African Digital Library was on its way.

Digital library is really a meaningful advocacy. It will educate and will boost the literacy of the student likewise provide the student about online searching. Did you know that Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was absolutely right to jump on the Rush Limbaugh Haiti comments. Though the boorish conservative polemicist did advocate donating to the Red Cross, he also said that we donated enough from our taxes. He failed to address that foreign aid is a small part of the federal budget, amounting to little, and the Haiti Earthquake is going to need more than a couple of payday loans to patch up. Even though he did advocate that people donate, during these sorts of things, people like Limbaugh really don't add anything constructive at all – he usually doesn't anyway.
