At the moment, my biggest problem is the interference with the pressfreedom. Kenya established the Media Council which ought to be autonomous. I would want it to act as such.

Wsflibrary.org begun as a facility for East African librarians who wanted to collect information about the Nairobi WSF 2007. We continue towards the Belem WSF 2009.

American librarians got involved in the project via the USSF in Atlanta 2007. European librarians will, hopefully, come on board through the Malmoe ESF 2008.

Wsflibrary WebTeam

At the moment, my biggest problem is the interference with the pressfreedom. Kenya established the Media Council which ought to be autonomous. I would want it to act as such. This is the time to get information as it is. This is the time we need analysts to come out and show the country the way forward. The banning of live broadcasts should be condemned by all. As information managers we must condemn this action by the government in the strongest terms possible. Esther Obachi User:Obachi, member of the webteam, 21 Jan 2008
