Developed by Hans Zell Publishing Consultants, The Electronic
African Bookworm is a quick-access guide to some of the best Internet
sites on Africa, African and development studies, and on African publishing
and the book trade. It also provides links to the home pages of African
and Africanist journals, African newspapers, to Web sites of libraries
in Africa and to some of the major Africana libraries in the countries
of the North, as well as listings of the major publishers (outside
Africa) with African studies lists.
In addition to Africa and African studies-related Internet sites,
The Electronic African Bookworm also offers a substantial number of
links to Web sites relating to publishing and the book trade, libraries,
and links to a number of major international organizations, donor
agencies, foundations, networks, and NGOs.
First developed as part of the Hans Zell Publishing Web Site, (http://www.hanszell.co.uk/),
The Electronic African Bookworm now exists in print version. The print
version includes a number of special features (not available on-line).

o Getting wired to the Web: A beginner's guide to the Internet
o How to search the Web: some search engine tips
o A Cyber glossary of over 100 of the most frequently used terms
and high-profile words related to Internet and the World Wide Web

and how to get "wired up" to the Web.
