Following the annual partner meeting of World Digital Library (WDL) held at the Library of Congress on 5 December, Serageldin chaired the meeting of the Executive Council of the WDL, which convened the next day to review progress made within the past year, and to discuss priorities for the coming year.
Launched in April 2009, the WDL is a website that features cultural material from libraries and archives from around the world. It was developed by a team at the Library of Congress and technical assistance was provided by the BA as one of the WDL key partners and a major contributor of digitized content. The project aims to promote the free flow of knowledge.
