Kenya Library Association organised a workshop for librarians in East Africa on how to create a knowledge base from the World Social Forum in 2006. Building a knowledge base for the WSF information was the first step towards opening up library and information professionals into public life. As librarians, being in libraries and disseminating information to users is not enough for one's profession. Venturing inot information gathering makes the whole profession.
Over 70 librarians from East Africa were trained and participated in documenting World Social Forum Information and a wiki website was set up where all the information was uplaoded.
As a follow up to this, 12 librarians again from Librarians were trained on how to maintain a wiki website. The training was in Nairobi at School of Monetary Studies, Kasarani.
The training begun very well and participants were taken through the basics of wiki pages.
