Support Agencies
for Resource Centres and Libraries added to ALADIN Website
The ALADIN website gives now access to an extensive, annotated list of 55 support agencies and online services that assist resource centres and libraries in setting-up or improving their information services. It lists organizations that are donating books, computers, funds and training resources to poorer countries, with the aim of creating literate and informed societies for a more equitable world. Under http://www.unesco.org/education/aladin/resource.html the following topics are covered
Capacity-building is one of the major objectives
of ALADIN, the global Adult Learning Documentation and
Information Network comprising of more than 100 information centres on
adult learning and literacy. The new list is a major tool for
strengthening the information services and the capacities of
staff of ALADIN members and other interested resource centres and
libraries worldwide. It will become an essential part of the ALADIN
Toolkit on Setting-up Documentation Centres on Adult Learning,
that will be developed later this year.
