> **************
>
> Alexandria Manifesto on Libraries, the Information
> Society in Action
>
> Libraries and information services contribute to the
> sound operation of the inclusive Information Society.
> They enable intellectual freedom by providing access
> to information, ideas and works of imagination in any
> medium and regardless of frontiers. They help to
> safeguard democratic values and universal civil rights
> impartially and by opposing any form of censorship.
>
> The unique role of libraries and information services
> is that they
> respond to the particular questions and needs of
> individuals. This
> complements the general transmission of knowledge by
> the media, for example, and makes libraries and
> information services vital to a democratic and open
> Information Society. Libraries are essential for a
> well informed citizenry and transparent governance, as
> well as for the take-up of e-government. They also
> build capacity by promoting information literacy and
> providing support and training for effective use of
> information resources, including Information and
> Communication Technologies. This is especially
> critical in promoting the development agenda because
> human resources are central to economic progress. In
> these ways libraries contribute significantly to
> addressing the digital divide and the information
> inequality that results from it. They help to make the
> Millennium
> Development Goals a reality, including reduction of
> poverty. They will do! more with quite modest
> investments. The value of the return is at least 4-6
> times the investment.
>
> In pursuit of the goal of access to information by all
> peoples, IFLA supports balance and fairness in
> copyright. IFLA is also vitally concerned to promote
> multilingual content, cultural diversity and the
> special needs of Indigenous peoples and minorities.
>
> IFLA and libraries and information services share the
> common vision of an Information Society for all
> adopted by the World Summit on the Information Society
> in Geneva in December 2003. That vision promotes an
> inclusive society based on the fundamental right of
> human beings both to access and to express information
> without restriction and in which everyone will be able
> to create, access, use and share information and
> knowledge.
> IFLA urges national, regional and local governments as
> well as
> international organisations to:
>
> * invest in library and information services as vital
> elements in their Information Society strategies,
> policies and budgets;
> * upgrade and extend existing library networks to
> obtain the greatest possible benefits for their
> citizens and communities;
> * support unrestricted access to information and
> freedom of expression;
> * promote open access to information and address
> structural and other barriers to access; and
> * recognise the importance of information literacy and
> vigorously
> support strategies to create a literate and skilled
> populace which can advance and benefit from the global
> Information Society.
