Insights of an African Model for Digital Library Development (by Dale Peters and Michele Pickover) - Published in D-Lib Magazine, November 2001

Digital technology is a driving force behind many of the changes occurring globally in higher education. The pilot digital imaging project in South Africa, DISA, has developed tools for capacity building to support new ways of learning and conducting research to meet a changing model of education. This article defines an approach to building digital research resources appropriate to the needs of the African continent. Through the development of an open source environment that supports international standards for the capture and storage of digital data, it is possible to create a sustainable infrastructure for a digital learning environment.

The Union catalogue will be available on CD-ROM and on the web.
