A Wiki for Guatemala’s Libraries

Posted in Americas, Databases, Guatemala, Latin America, Libraries, Open Access, Web 2.0, World at 3:12 pm by colombianflowers

A few librarians in Guatemala have set out to create a directory of Guatemala’s librarians in wiki format. The project is still quite new and with only a few entries, but they already have a number of enthusiasts offering their help either with providing content or helping with the technology needed.

As most wikis, the project is meant to be collaborative, and everyone is encouraged to contribute. The front page also offers a few links to existing projects which provide some information on Guatemala’s libraries; these include UNESCO, The Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, and a project through the International Center for Scientific Research.

All entries are in Spanish.

You can access the wiki here.
