UNESCO is pleased to announce the launch of its library portal
(http://www.unesco.org/webworld/portal_bib) which is intended to
facilitate access to information related to library resources
available on the World Wide Web as well as to issues affecting
librarianship. The site, still in an early developmental stage,
is being developed as an interactive point for browsing and
searching a range of categories including websites of national
libraries, government information services, library associations
and on-line resources, with special emphasis placed on activities
in UNESCO's fields of competence namely education, sciences,
culture, communication and information.
Special sections will regularly feature news and articles of
interest to librarians and highlight the activities of a selected
library and/or collection.
All libraries and librarians are invited to participate by
providing information on activities, useful links, news and
content that they wish to share with others and generally make
more widely available.
