Abstract
While the Internet provides African researchers with access to a wealth of information from international, western publishers, these publications do not fairly represent the African research or provide all the information that the community needs. To raise awareness of African-published research, African Journals OnLine (AJOL) was launched in 1998 to index and promote African-published journals using the Web. The service now includes over 220 titles and 18,000 article abstracts. The service has been evaluated twice and responds to areas for development and change. In 2005, management of AJOL has moved from the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) in the UK to the National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) in South Africa.
