by Shilpi Kapoor 21 May '10

21 May '10

Dear All, We are organizing a workshop on "Inclusive Libraries - Making Libraries Disabled Friendly". Hope to see you all there. The need to access libraries is not one that we need to contend. Libraries provide us with a vast resource of knowledge whereby a person can access books, periodicals, newspapers, journals, etc. Today with the advent of digital libraries, collections are stored in digital formats and accessible by computers, also. Persons with disabilities should also have access to both that is physical libraries as well as digital libraries. Libraries are also a point of access whereby resources can be pooled and used by a large cross-section of the society. Therefore, making libraries inclusive is important for the growth of India's population. Date: 22nd May 2010 Time: 11:00 am - 12:30 pm Venue Partner - HEALTH EDUCATION LIBRARY FOR PEOPLE, Excelsior Business Center, National Insurance Building, Ground Floor, Near Excelsior Cinema, 206, Dr.D.N Road, Mumbai 400 001.

Just Published - "Towards inclusive knowledge societies: a review of UNESCO's action in implementing the WSIS outcomes"
by Puna Das 21 May '10

21 May '10

Just Published - "Towards inclusive knowledge societies: a review of UNESCO's action in implementing the WSIS outcomes" This report reviews the UNESCO's work in these implementation areas during the five years since the Tunis phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in 2005. It summarises some highlights of what has been achieved to date and reflects upon the challenges which have arisen in the implementation of WSIS outcomes. The report looks in turn at UNESCO's three main roles in WSIS implementation: - as a coordinator/lead facilitator, with ITU, UNDP and UNCTAD, of the overall implementation process, including UNGIS and the WSIS Forum; - as a facilitator of six Action Lines to facilitate the implementation of the WSIS outcomes in specific areas of work; and - as an implementer of programmes and initiatives that seek to build inclusive Knowledge Societies and thereby contribute to the achievement of WSIS goals. The final section of the report looks forward over the next five years to suggest ways in which implementation of WSIS results might be more effectively integrated in the broader work that UNESCO and other agencies are doing. This work aims at achieving the benefits that can be derived from the Knowledge Societies to whose development UNESCO is committed.
