Virtual Journeys

 
 

                  

 

 
 

A number of web pages and websites are being created and developed during the Odyssey Group Workshop 2001, "Information Access for Africa". Many of these are shown as live links below. This page thus serves as:

  • a vehicle for those who cannot attend in person to take 'virtual journeys' from their own locations;
  • a basis for co-ordination between participants and partners at the workshop;
  • a record and e-archive for continued access in the future.

Take a trip now on any of the virtual journeys shown below.
