"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.

"We get no good
By being ungenerous, even to a book,
And calculating profits-so much help
By so much reading. It is rather when
We gloriously forget ourselves, and plunge
Soul-forward, headlong, into a book''s profound,
Impassioned for its beauty, and salt of truth-
''Tis then we get the right good from a book."
E.B. BROWNING - Aurora Leigh
