Building Local Content

In a meeting, where else, today it was brought up again the need to create databases of local content. I think we have been talking about this since the day I join the library school and yet we have not progress at the rate that we want. Oh yes, we have certain successes here and there on certain content but there are a lot more out there. The problem is, most of the time, is not whether we do not have the content of capability but the will to do it is missing. We loose steam a long the way quite often and just like the rain in Malaysia, suddenly it pours cats and dogs and suddenly it stop without warning.
