Building a BHL Africa

Read the full blog post

The mission of the Biodiversity Heritage Library is to build an open access digital library of biodiversity literature for the world.

This organization and planning meeting was generously funded by the JRS Biodiversity Foundation and was a direct follow up to the initial JRS funded meetings hosted by the Biodiversity Synthesis Center/Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago in November, 2011.

As we continue our blog posts regarding our recent Berlin and Africa trips (for the BHL-Europe, BHL-Global, and BHL-Africa meetings; stay tuned for upcoming posts on these events), we thought we’d have some fun and explore these trips from the perspective of our friend, the BHL button.The BHL button is a global traveler, having been in three continents already since its inception in January, 2012.

Through the development of a multi-lingual portal and associated tools, BHL-Europe strives to make European biodiversity knowledge available to everyone.
