Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are growing exponentially. In 1993, the Yearbook of International Organizations listed 16,000 internationally recognized NGOs. By 2004, this number was 63,000. With this increase comes a staggering growth in the activities and intellectual output of NGOs working on a local and international level. As the mission of both libraries and NGOs increasingly intersect, these organizations must collaborate to provide essential services that revolve around the creation, dissemination, and storage of information. This volume's eight essays focus on collaborative work between NGOs and libraries in the study and resolution of global issues ranging from AIDS to food security, and social transformation.; Die Zahl der Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGOs) wächst exponentiell. Im Jahre 1993 listete das Yearbook of International Organizations 16.000 international anerkannte NGOs auf, 2004 waren es bereits 63.000. Dieses Wachstum wird von einer erstaunlichen Zunahme der Aktivitäten und Leistungen der auf lokaler und internationaler Ebene arbeitenden NGOs begleitet. Weil sich die Aufgaben von Bibliotheken und NGOs zunehmend überschneiden, müssen beide mehr zusammenarbeiten, um unentbehrliche Dienstleistungen, die auf die Schaffung, Verbreitung und Aufbewahrung von Information ausgerichtet sind, anzubieten. Die acht Aufsätze dieses Bandes widmen sich der gemeinschaftlichen Arbeit von NGOs und Bibliotheken bei der Untersuchung von und Beschlussfassung zu globalen Themen, die von AIDS bis zur Nahrungssicherung und dem sozialen Wandel reichen. 152 pp. Englisch.
