Abstract
Any understanding of Toyin Falola is incomplete without talking about his engagement with the new Internet facilities, their various forms, and the creative uses to which he has put them to share knowledge, empower a new generation of Africans, and create complex intellectual and political networks. First, at the most practical level, he is deeply involved with building and promoting e-libraries for many African universities. For example, he is currently building extensive e-libraries as pilot projects for the University of Ibadan, Lead City University, Kaduna State University, Redeemer’s University, and Adekunle Ajasin University.1 Once the pilot projects are concluded, they will open the way to solve one major problem in exchanging ideas over distances.
