[Pal-dc] pal-dc Digest, Vol 40, Issue 6

Wed Sep 30 09:08:47 BST 2015

Hello
I believe that with Martha the library remains the center of knowledge.
Speaking of the library, which is a cultural enterprise where every
individual can buy a book, a dictionary, a glossary, a collection of
encyclopedia etc .., libraries, reading centers and documentation
complement the function of bookstore.
With the era of digital technology, it is easy to access documentation for
a terminal such as a computer, a tablet and even from "smart" phones.
Can then occur, the linguistic aspect that should not be a barrier because
the media helps overcome this gap and becomes an important tool for
literacy by digital.

> Hello everyone,
>
> We need to finalize incorporating comments into our principles statement
> this week. We have a comment that I'd appreciate your input on. It is from
> Makane, who has suggested the following in reference to our heading, which
> is "Public Access in Libraries":
>
> It may be useful to attempt to have a definition of libraries to be
> inclusive of other access centres, such as ?documentation centres?,
> ?information centres?, ? archives?, ?reference centres?, etc. Not having an
> inclusive definition, may exclude other professionals who are in charge of
> these access utilities.
>
> Later in the statement, we make note of the importance of issues such as
> government funding and professional staff who can offer training and
> support.
>
> My questions for you:
>
> 1. Do you agree that we need to expand the definition of libraries?
>
> 2. If so, should this be a footnote or part of the body?
>
> 3. Please react to the following: "Libraries includes other
> government-funded public facilities that prioritize access to information
> and provide the necessary technology to facilitate access, while
> recognizing
> the importance of information literacy skills for use and supporting access
> with professionally trained information staff. This includes publicly
> accessible facilities such as information centres, documentation centres,
> reference centres and archives."

> discussion at the IGF in November.
