Aluka is an international, collaborative initiative building an online digital library of scholarly resources from and about Africa. ‘Aluka’, is derived from a Zulu word meaning ‘to weave’, reflecting Aluka’s commitment to connect resources and scholars from around the world. In 2008, we announced that Aluka is uniting with JSTOR, a not-for-profit organization building trusted digital archives for the global scholarly community.
