Digital Libraries in the Developing World with Teresa Hackett
The webcast is set for April 30, 2007 at 12:30PM EDST, 16.30 GMT. From the Berkman Description:
The role and mission of libraries is to collect, organize, preserve and make available the world’s cultural and scientific heritage for current and future generations. Publicly funded libraries operating for the public benefit support access to knowledge, as well as education and training, critical to developing nations whose human resource is central to their advancement. Digital technologies are transforming the way that libraries work. What new opportunities are being created? What challenges do we face and how is eIFL.net addressing them?
Teresa Hackett runs eIFL-IP “Advocacy for Access to Knowledge: copyright & librariesâ€, a programme to raise awareness in copyright issues for libraries in 50 developing and transition countries.
