About this website:
This website begun as a facility for East African librarians who wanted to document the World Social Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, January 2007. Learning how to use wikis,and other social networking skills, were/are part of the WSF Library Project. To our knowledge, librarians did not carry out any corresponding documentation project during the WSF in Belem, Brazil, 2009. However, during the WSF event in Dakar, Senegal, 2011, librarians and archivists from Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Uganda, the Netherlands and Finland, assisted by staff from the Bibliothèque Universitaire (BU) of the Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), and volunteers from the EBAD library school, continued the project.
The activities of the Nairobi WSF were ordered in 21 analytical classes, which were at the time (2006-7) identified as the main actionable themes of the WSF by its International Council. This website, which is built with the same MediaWiki software as the Wikipedia, uses the 21 actionable themes to classify the activities of the social forums.
Wsflibrary.org started 2006-2007 as a pilot project of Kenya Library Association (KLA) and the Network Institute for Global Democratization (NIGD). (Read more about it!)
