"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.

"That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse
With the oldsages and philosophers;
And sometimes, for variety, I confer
With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;
Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Daface their ill-placed statues."
BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER - The Elder Brother
