General Reference 17 of 27
"The aims of the WSIS Declaration of Principles and Action Plan take into account the place of libraries in society today. However, in order to ensure that the actions described become a lasting reality they must become better known so that the funding agencies for the information society, whether they be government or private enterprise, will become more aware of libraries’ achievements and the services they provide in making knowledge and information available, and therefore be encouraged to fund future activities.
This database is not restricted to projects developed in one institution alone. On the contrary, the strength of libraries in the world today is to cooperate and network on all levels, local, regional, national and international. You’ll find such initiatives, especially those with partnerships between advanced and emerging economies."
