The "Southern African Greenstone Support Network" (SAGSN) digital collection and capacity building project wishes to extend the Greenstone Support Network to other countries in and beyond the Southern African Region by having additional SAGSN National Centres established.

The Southern African Greenstone Support Network has National Centres at libraries in Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe. In some other countries strong propositions have been made to start such centres and extend the Support Network. Such proposals come from organisations selected and trained in the 2007 - 2008 Pilot Project.
In countries with an eIFL presence National Centres usually work closely with their national library consortium. 

This Call invites libraries (or related organisations) actively engaged in digitisation efforts and  digital libraries who are interested in the possibility of becoming a National Centre, to contact the SAGSN Regional Coordinator Amos Kujenga for further discussion.

Closing date for the Call is June 9th 2009.

As guiding documents the National Centre Terms of Reference and a Call for Participation are available as downloadable PDF.
The Terms of Reference are the present and future Centres' touchstones.
