"Desa Informasi" or "Information Vilage"
is the name adopted for the Local eContent (digital information resources with local flavor) development project being carried out in Petra Christian University Library.

"Desa Informasi" can also play an important role in preserving (at least) digitally local historical and cultural heritage, thus preserving the collective memory of a local society.

All Local eContent collections are available for everyone through the Internet for free. Some Local eContent collections are currently available in "Desa Informasi," such as Surabaya Memory, Digital Theses, eDIMENSI, Petra@rt Gallery, Petra iPoster, and Petra Chronicle.

"What do we, as a nation, care about books?
How much do you think we spend altogether
on our libraries, public or private, as compared with
what we spend on our horses?"
JOHN RUSKIN (1819-1900) - Sesame and Lilies. Lect i, Of Kings'' Treasuries
