Item Changing Roles of NGOs in the Creation, Storage, and Dissemination of Information in Developing Countries(K. G. Saur, 2006) IFLA Social Science Libraries Section; Witt, Steven W.; Koopman, SjoerdNon-governmental organizations (NGOs) are growing exponentially. In 1993, the Yearbook of International Organizations listed 16,000 internationally recognized NGOs. By 2004, this number was 63,000. With this increase comes a staggering growth in the activities and intellectual output of NGOs working on a local and international level. As the mission of both libraries and NGOs increasingly intersect, these organizations must collaborate to provide essential services that revolve around the creation, dissemination, and storage of information. This volume's eight essays focus on collaborative work between NGOs and libraries in the study and resolution of global issues ranging from AIDS to food security, and social transformation.

This selection of conference papers provides a cross-disciplinary approach to knowledge, information and development and how the three together can mould a new and more informed society. The challenge is to make our libraries more people-centered and Afro-centric, not simply serving the interests of the elite and paying little attention to the plight of the less well off. This needs to change, with libraries becoming more inclusive and serving the needs of all. These papers raise provocative questions, and provide an insight into the struggle of information services in this part of Africa to be part of an emerging information and knowledge society.Item Libraries and Information Services towards the Attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals(De Gruyter Saur, 2008-12-19) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Njobvu, Benson; Koopman, SjoerdThe United Nations Millennium declarations of 2002 set eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved by 2015.
