Medium Term Programme 1998-2001
The Round Table on Women's Issues concerns itself extensively with questions and issues that have special relevance for women in the library profession and in the user community. Further it develops programs designed to enhance the opportunities and the image of these two groups of women. The Round Table on Women's Issues promotes the collection, research, publication and dissemination of information on the status of women in librarianship. Another concern is to identify discrimination in all forms, and disparities in resources, programs, and opportunities relating to women in librarianship.
