them edit Wikipedia.
Can we all share them with the new members? Just go to this doc and follow

A very very, very unfortunate incident.
I think Ghana libraries are currently in a better position to dodge such a
situation when they hurry with digitization.
Perhaps if you're in conversations with Ghana Libraries, or finished talks
with them, you might present this real life case, to them for consideration.
The time is now for digitization.

Subject: [africa-l] RE: Fire Incident at Mzuzu University Library
To: "africa-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr" <africa-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr>
Posted on behalf of MALA for any inquiries see details below
*Malawi Library Association: Press Release on the Fire Incident at Mzuzu
University Library*
Malawi Library Association (MALA) has learnt with great shock and disbelief
about the fire incident which occurred at Mzuzu University Library on
Friday 18th December, 2015 in which over 45 000 books, journals, and
related resources as well as equipment, furniture and fittings got burnt
down to ashes and some got badly damaged by the blaze. This is a very big
loss, not only to Mzuzu University but also Malawi as a nation. Mzuzu
University Library was a model library in the provision of modern library
and information services in the country. All the books, journals,
equipment, furniture and related fittings were carefully selected in line
with modern standards. It was one of the richest reservoirs of knowledge in
Malawi and beyond.
Malawi Library Association is therefore very saddened that such a model
library and a hard-earned reservoir of knowledge has been lost in a fire
incident. The situation is now very worrisome considering that the
expensive books, equipment and other resources lost in the blaze as well as
the damage caused to the library building cannot be replaced any time soon.
This will adversely affect the delivery of academic programmes at the
University. It is also important to note that the situation will not only
affect Mzuzu University community, but also the membership of the Malawi
Library Association as most of our members were benefitting from Mzuzu
University Library in different ways.
In view of the fore-going, MALA would therefore like to extend its
heart-felt sympathy to management, staff, students, and surrounding
communities of Mzuzu University about the sad loss of our model and
precious Mzuzu University Library. It is our sincere hope that all parties
concerned about this situation will be able to respond positively to any
calls to support Mzuzu University to re-build its library.
