FAIFE-L

A discussion list devoted to libraries, librarianship and intellectual freedom

Purpose

FAIFE-L is an electronic forum intended to foster communications among IFLA members and others concerned with the issues related to the work of IFLA/FAIFE (Free Access to Information and Freedom of expression). The aim is to facilitate the exchange of information and opinions.

The FAIFE-L mailing list is an international Internet mailing list that focuses on libraries, librarianship and intellectual freedom issues, including IFLA/FAIFE services and activities. The goals of the FAIFE-L mailing list are:

to raise the general awareness of the correlation between libraries, democracy and intellectual freedom,
to facilitate sharing of information on matters of interest related to libraries, librarianship and intellectual freedom,
to stimulate debate on these complex issues,
to create a forum for both library professionals and others engaged in intellectual freedom and
to distribute information from the IFLA/FAIFE initiative itself.

Audience

The list is open to all interested individuals, institutions and organisations worldwide. Both IFLA members and others who are interested in IFLA/FAIFE activities are encouraged to participate.
