Libraries @ the heart of the Information Society:
Tell us your success stories!

As part of the preparation for the World Summit on the Information Society, IFLA and other organisations from the Archival world are lobbying to underline the importance of archives and library and information services as key actors to provide unhindered access to essential resources.

We will shortly be announcing a pre-conference in Geneva (3-4 November 2003) where librarians will be able to meet their delegates to WSIS to impress upon them the importance of content in the Information Society and the role of libraries in delivering it.

We want to show them concrete examples of how libraries all over the world successfully apply ICT - and we need your help. What are you doing? How has it been received in the press? Send us your short descriptions and photos (or URLs) showing how your library is at the heart of the information society.

We will compile a leaflet (in 5 languages) to be distributed at WSIS and other venues to promote our services in the Information Society. We need to strengthen the perception of libraries in the WSIS - help us to do this by telling us about your achievements.
