How to Build a Digital Library Ian H. Witten and David Bainbridge
Digital Libraries?—off-the-shelf technology; just add documents and stir. Of course, we are talking about very different things: a personal library of ephemeral notes hardly compares with a national treasurehouse of information. But don’t sneer at the “library” of e-mail: this collection gives its user valued searching and browsing facilities, and with half a week’s rather than half an hour’s work one could create a document management system that stores documents for a large multinational corporation. 01-07-2002 9:00 am

Mission Report (4-16 November 2002) with the purpose of Launching the Feasibility Study for the Development of a Virtual Library for Universities and Institutions of Higher Learning in Nigeria FW (Russ) Russell, BSP/DIR & Hezekiel Dlamini, UNESCO-Nairobi, CI
Within the framework of the Special Task Force for Nigeria, the Director-General of UNESCO and the President of the Republic of Nigeria in the first half of 2002 approved this Japan FIT extrabudgetary project. The purpose of the Feasibility study is to assess what elements are needed and what steps will have to be deployed in order to develop a Virtual Library for Universities and Institutions of Higher Learning in Nigeria through funds provided by the Government and other donors. It shall serve as an action-oriented policy and project development tool for the implementation of such a project in Nigeria. To date, several intersectoral (CI, ED, Field Office and Central Services) meetings have been held at HQ to lay the groundwork for the Study. Equally, several meetings have taken place between differing HQ staff and Nigerian officials relative to this project.
At a meeting convened by DIR/BSP on 11 September 2002, it was decided that a UNESCO team would formally launch the FS. Dates for this mission were set for early November. Also, it was decided that a member from BSP, CI and ED would form the UNECO team and liase with UNESCO-Abuja and the Nigerian NatCom for UNESCO. Unfortunately, ED consultant was unavailable for the present mission. The mission included visits to Abuja, Zaria, Kaduna and Lagos.
Objectives for the mission:
- to formally launch the Nigerian Virtual Library Feasibility Study.
- to hold information meetings with appropriate national authorities.
- to reach decisions as to the delivery schedule for the project and it's end-date (with a view to establishing phases of implementation of the Study’s recommendations).
- recruitment/selection of the NPO (c.f. draft TORs below)
- agreement on terms of reference for the various consultants necessary with possible initial identification of certain appropriate persons.

[Policy Paper] Information Technology (IT) is the bedrock for national survival and development in a rapidly changing global environment, and challenges us to devise bold and courageous initiatives to address a host of vital socio-economic issues such as reliable infrastructure, skilled human resources, open government and other essential issues of capacity building. --- A developing nation like Nigeria, that aspires to participate effectively and become a key player in the emerging Information Age needs to have in place, application/pdf
Science, Technology and ICT in Nigeria Professor G.O. Ajayi
- Every nation has a price to pay for technological development. Science and Technology is the bedrock of this development.
- The Science & Technology sector in general and Information & Communications Technology (ICT), in particular, represent areas that must be addressed for sustainable technological growth.
- Three technological waves driving global economic development are:
Information Technology
Material Science
Biotechnology
- Technology is changing at an unprecedented rate and, without the proper machinery in place, one stands the risk of being left behind.
