Abstract
Digital libraries are a key technology for developing countries. They can assist human development by providing a noncommercial mechanism for distributing humanitarian information on topics such as health, agriculture, nutrition, hygiene, sanitation and water supply. Many other areas, ranging from disaster relief to medical education, also benefit from new methods of information distribution. Perhaps even more important than disseminating information originating in the developed world is the need to foster the ability for people in developing countries to build information collections locally. Outlines a broad range of issues and then goes on to describe how a freely available digital library system called Greenstone provides a flexible tool that helps meet some of these needs. Being open source software, Greenstone can be shaped by its users to meet new requirements.
