Nigerian offline library opens access to all

More than 110 million people in Nigeria are still not connected to the internet largely because of poor infrastructure and a lack of fiber and mobile networks make it expensive and unreliable.But now an ambitious project aims to give millions of students in the country access to a vast library of digital content.But rather than depending on an internet connection to access it, the project has developed the resource for offline viewing.The eGranary Digital Library - also known as "The Internet in a Box" - has been developed by a United States-based non-profit called the WiderNet Project.
