Projects
- Information technology training needs assessment in developing countries - 2000-
It has been noted that especially in those countries where Internet connections are just being built up or are only available at high-level educational institutions, IT training for librarians has not yet been developed to the extent needed. Therefore the Section will carry out a needs assessment and establish a Database for IT Training available in these areas or via Distance Learning.
