They vary greatly in type of game, technical sophistication, cost of development, and visual appeal. – A total of 17 online library games have been mentioned in the literature, 11 of which are at least partially available online.

While scholarly sources of documentation are freely available online, these may be fragmentary, idiosyncratic or incomplete as citations are made available passively and without context through services such as Google Scholar. The field has become more interdisciplinary in terms of data sources and subject matter, making bibliographic searches in any single topical, geographical, or discipline-based source (or even in the most comprehensive index databases) less likely to fulfil all of one's scholarly needs. Many more resources are available now from African and other sources, but they present a complex terrain to navigate for many reasons, both old and new (see Limb 2007). The central problem for library researchers in African studies decades ago hinged on awareness of a relatively few specialist, published reference and other print bibliographic tools for discovering relevant materials (Frank-Wilson 2004: 106 see McIlwaine 2007a). Today's information environment for African studies, as in other areas, is vastly different from what it was in the last century. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.What is information literacy and why is it important for African studies?

I know I'm successful if I get him to tear up a little and smile from ear to ear. My boyfriend is especially good with his words, so I usually end the letter with happy tears streaming down my face. We also write letters that we give to one another after dinner and read them one at a time to watch the other's reaction.

Every year we usually go to dinner together and enjoy being in each other's presence. I have had the same boyfriend for over three and a half years and Valentine's Day has never been a huge deal to us. There are so many fun ways to celebrate Valentine's Day without having a significant other. A whole group of friends could go to dinner together and maybe even make little Valentines for everyone like we did in elementary school.

To some, being single on Valentine's Day can be a bummer, but a having a night with your best friends can be super fun too.
