The African Digital Library
The African Digital Library (or ADL) is a collection of electronic books (eBooks) that can be accessed and used free-of-charge by any person living on the African continent. Individuals can access the library from any PC that is connected to the Internet in Africa.
Established by Ebsco Information Services[1] in November 1999, in collaboration with NetLibrary, an existing international ebook platform that already had a large collection of about 200, 000 ebooks from 500 publishers available in 17, 000 sites worldwide, in order to develop a digital library that is available free-of-charge, to residents and institutions of Africa, for academic and business use.
The project's aim was to facilitate access to library resources without the expense of developing and maintaining a physical infrastructure, by establishing a public digital library for people living and learning on the African continent. The library comprises a collection of books and other resources, in digital format, that are accessible through the Internet.
In 2010 NetLibrary was fully acquired by Ebsco Information Services and the African Digital Library's collections are now accessible via the Ebsco platforms[2].
