The Ralph D Winter Library Project

Olivet University is a Christian institute of higher education, conspicuously located in the heart of downtown San Francisco. Olivet has a strong number of resident students, but the majority of our students are online students. In order to offer our online students access to the same quality of resources as our resident students (as per accreditation requirements) we have always been committed to building and maintain a strong e-Library full of Christian content.

Our first e-Library was built about 4 years ago. It served its purpose well, but after 4 years, the administrative staff at OU decided it was time for an upgrade. Since the beginning of this year, a dedicated development team was established with the job of renovating the e-Library, making it into a world-class digital library. Our team consists of a director, administrator, programmer, as well as a handful of students who help with content.

My name is Mark Li, I am the director for the Ralph D Winter Library Project. This project aims to build a common content-sharing platform that can be distributed to Christian schools and organizations, with content coming from various Christian content owners. We are now announcing the launch of version 1.0 of the RDWLP platform (visible here). The technical details of our library will be announced in our next blog post. If you are a representative of a Christian library or content holder and would like to work with us, please contact us. I look forward to sharing the work that God does through this project.
