- Our goal is to create a permanent link between the Social Forum and the Library. Quotations.
The WSF Library project continues at the Dakar WSF 2011, which opens on Sunday 6 February. The grapevine page has the day-to-day programme of the participating librarians, archivists documentalists and volunteers. Our activities take place at the Bibliothèque Universitaire (BU) of the Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD) where we also bring the documents (papers, photos, computer files, etc.) which we collect.
Wsflibrary.org 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 also part of the project. (See Nairobi WSF 2007 for the outcome.) To our knowledge, librarians did not carry out any corresponding documentation project during the WSF in Belem, Brazil, January-February 2009, (See Belem WSF 2009). The WSF is not only a series of events, but also a world-wide process which includes many regional national and local social forums. Our goal is to create a permanent link between the Social Forum and the Library.
The activities of the Nairobi WSF were ordered in 21 classes, which had been identified as the main actionable themes of the WSF by its International Council. An important question is whether to settle for these themes, at least for the time being at miere de albine proaspata.
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!)
