Employing Satellite

With
support from USAID's Leland Initiative, we are developing a protocol
to deliver up-to-date information to educational institutions.
We are also training librarians at partner universities in Africa in
the art of digitizing their materials. |

eGranary Digital Library
|
| |
eGranary Digital Library teams are expanding and improving
both the content and delivery of the digital library. Beyond
adding to the current collection, more specialized collections are being
assembled in the areas of public health, the sciences, and geography.
Specialized collections will also be created dealing with more development issues.
These areas are certain to change and grow as we receive feedback
concerning what is needed and wanted by our partners. Content and
functionality are also being added to aid professors in planning courses
and curriculum around the eGranary Digital Library content.
Those seeking more information
about the library may contact:

The
Future of the eGranary Digital Library
|
|
Develop Training Programs
for Digitizing African Content and Developing African Curriculum |
| |
Our partners are looking for
training and consulting in low-cost methods to digitize their
materials to share with colleagues at other African universities.
We are looking for volunteers and funding to help build the human
capacity to work with the digitized materials in the eGranary Digital
Library and help make them more relevant and useful on subscriber
campuses.

Expand the eGranary
Digital Library to Include Other Regions |
| |
Mostly this is a matter of updating our
databases and returning to our current set of authors and publishers
to redefine their permission to include other developing countries.
|
| |
|
|
|
Expand the eGranary
Digital Library to Include Other Languages |
| |
We are looking for volunteers
interested in collecting digital educational materials in languages
other than English.

Develop eGranrary Digital Library
Potential
for Other Sectors |
| |
Once we have developed and
refined the protocol, the possibilities are limitless: this
technique can be used to deliver digital information to primary
schools, health clinics, government offices, public libraries,
etc.
|
| |
|
|
|
Develop Topic-Specific eGranary Digital
Library Collections |
| |
We see a need for
smaller topic-specific collections (in medicine, public health,
law, primary and secondary education, etc.) that could fit on
desktop computers or hand held devices. |
