Our work in Nigeria has been funded by the MacArthur Foundation since 2001.  With this funding we have been able to build journals archives at 6 universities and three NGOs. Beginning in late 2004, the Journal Donation Project worked with the six Nigerian university libraries to establish an inter-library loan consortium that would enable these universities to share resources, thus exponentially increasing the journals available to each one of them.  It is our hope that within the next year or two the number of libraries included in the consortium will increase to include other Nigerian universities and perhaps even some NGO’s.
