TEEAL celebrates ten years!
13 April 2009

We are proud to announce the tenth anniversary of TEEAL this year. TEEAL has been providing quality scientific content to institutions all over the world. The very first TEEAL set was shipped to the University of Zimbabwe in 1999. Since then we have expanded our coverage to over 70 nations.

Thank you to all the publishers and index providers, past and present, who have generously donated their content to make TEEAL a reality. Thank you also to visionaries at Mann Library, who first conceived the idea of a digital library in a box. Many thanks to the Rockefeller Foundation for believing in it, and to our other donors and partners for their continuing support. But most of all, we thank our subscribers, whose feedback and enthusiasm for the project have been indispensable.

Nous voudrions remercier tous les éditeurs et les fournisseurs d'index, qui en donnant; leurs produits avec générosité, ont effectué la réalisation de TEEAL. Gràce aux visionnaires à la Bibliothèque Mann, pour leur l'idée d'une bibliothèque électronique de poche. Nous remercions aussi la Fondation Rockefeller pour croyant au projet, et aux autres donateurs et partenaires pour leur appui. Mais plutôt nous voudrions remercier nos abonneurs, dont les commentaires et l'enthousiasme pour le projet ont été indispensables.
