Abstract:

The eGranary Digital Library uses innovative off-line storage technology to deliver millions of digital documents to schools, clinics, hospitals, and homes in the developing world with little or no Internet connectivity. Providing patrons with instant access to a broad range of Web pages, audio, video, and multimedia resources from within the institution's local area network (LAN), the eGranary Digital Library demonstrates a new, low-cost way to deliver knowledge to the world's information poor.
