Hi Colleagues

Lesotho has just held an on the hands workshop on library digitization with
special emphasis on the greenstone as it is already using it to digitize
some of the materials such as past examination papers. We are now busy
helping some institutions with skills on how they can built their own
collections. Congratulations to you Africa and continue with the good work.

Regards

Lebohang

Thanks Geoffrey - I have amended it, and my apologies for the mistake.

This took me about 2 seconds to achieve - if anyone has any suggestions,
contributions, links etc that are relevant to the ADLSN pages please do send
them to Repke or myself. This new website is so much easier to add
information to (or amend, such as Geoffrey's name) than the old one, and the
more active your ADLSN pages are, the more people will keep revisiting to
find out about your excellent work. So please do share your experiences!

Best wishes
Simon

Thanks Repke. However, my surname has once again been mispelt on the

Apologies for the resend -  we changed the settings of this email list to
have your reply going to this list and not to me personally !! FROM HERE ON
A REPLY GOES TO ALL YOUR COLLEAGUES ON THE LIST - just what we want sharing
our news, suggestions and questions.  Thanks, Repke de Vries 

Dear all 

early February all of you received a Welcome message when the former
Southern African Greenstone support list "sagreenstone" changed it's name
and broadened it's scope and the number of African countries and regions it
is involved in [2].

In that message the African Digital Library Support Network and the National
Centres in Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, (Namibia), Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and
Zimbabwe (re)introduced  themselves [1].

It would be very much appreciated if this time you could share some of
*your* news with this list - like: 

you received your Greenstone training in the last year and went back to your
place of work: what happened then? 

If it turned out difficult to put your training into practice: share !  

If you made a start but hit stumbling blocks later on: share !

If you managed to digitise documents and put them into Greenstone (or DSpace
or Drupal or some other solution): share (adding screenshots of your work if
you wish) !

Sharing your news will be very much appreciated by your colleagues.  And
some of us with operational services [3] who also are on this list or the
colleagues at the ADLSN National Centres (working regionally !) can help
with technical and other answers.

Flood the list with your stories !

Yours, Repke de Vries, ADLSN 

[1] have a look here:
http://www.eifl.net/african-digital-libraries-support-network 

[2] quoting from the second of February Welcome message:

"..

The Support Network is an open community of  practitioners and policy
makers and has a number of Centres throughout Africa that can be
called upon both nationally and regionally.

(..)

On the discussion list African practical experience is shared and
(technical) support given in creating and giving access to  local
digital content. The focus is on open source software with emphasis on
Greenstone but also paying attention to other open-source access
solutions like DSpace, Drupal and bridges between them.

.."

[3] The eIFL FOSS organisation with whom ADLSN works closely together
created some nice lists of operational services in Africa and elsewhere:
