  In an email on the ifla-l email list Gerald Leitner, Secretary General
of IFLA has today demonstrated the vital link between human rights and
library and information services.   As we mark the start of the 70th
anniversary year of the UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights I am
delighted to announce the launch of SpeakUp! - IFLA FAIFE's new blog. 
This is yourchance to get involved in the conversation around how
library and information services can turn human rights into reality
at blogs.ifla.org/faife
This is a new FAIFE initiative that will provide a new forum for a
discussion about how human rights are central to and inform the
development and delivery of library and information services - and
equally, how library and information services are central to access to
human rights.
Please keep an eye on and read the blog regularly - and also consider
contributing to the blog to share your views on this vital topic.  Please
send any contributions to IFLA Policy and Research Officer Esmeralda
Moscatelli  at esmeralda.moscatelli at ifla.org    
We look forward to your contribution
