at MSU, and in partnership with premiere research institutions in
Africa, is pioneering the African Online Digital Library. The goal of
this fully accessible online digital repository is to adopt the
emerging best practices of the American digital library community and
apply them in an African context. AODL benefits a wide variety of
scholars, students, and institutions by producing multilingual,
multimedia materials for both scholarly research and public viewing
audiences. AODL serves scholars and students conducting research and
teaching about West and South Africa as well as teachers and students
of African languages in both the United States and Africa. It also
provides a valuable model for creating and distributing a diverse
array of materials in a region with very limited electronic
connectivity. This will be added to
