Abstract

This Report of the First Meeting of AAC African Virtual Library and Information Network (AVLIN) AVLIN Advisory Committee (AAC) presented at the Third Meeting of the Committee on Development Information (CODI). The Committee discussed the importance of developing the AVL IN Web site in various languages, including English, French, Arabic and if possible other languages like Kiswahili. Provision of access to AVLIN resources via various language interfaces will increase information access, however, this approach will require assistance from potential development partners for site translation and maintenance of the various language sites.
