Subject: [GKD] The African Digital Library Project


I would like to provide an update on the African Digital Library
project. This online library has close to 8000 full-text eBooks at this
stage and is available free of charge to any *resident* of Africa. The
library may be accessed at <http://AfricaEducation.org/adl/> . Provided
the users domain name can be identified as being in Africa, users are
able to receive registrations immediately. If the domain does not appear
to be one of the African domains, users are asked to complete a short
application which is sent to a staff member to manually create the
registration.

The library is currently able to serve users in all African countries
although additional funding would help to increase the number of
available eBooks for learners to access. A recent paper on the African
Digital Library is available at:
<http://www.pgw.org/papers/adl200011.htm>

Regards

Paul West
