  • extend the market for Abya-yala publications
  • bring new revenue to Abya-yala to digitize more publications
  • integrate Abya-yala publications in searches in or about Latin American and indigenous issues in English and Spanish (and eventually other languages such as Portuguese)
  • increase research activity in these areas
  • the production of more publications
  • enhance the technical capacity of Abya-yala to create digital publications based on OAI standards
