Foreword
The IFLA Social Sciences Libraries Standing Committee is pleased to present
this volume of essays and case-studies that focus on the role of Non-
Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the storage, dissemination, and creation
of the knowledge important to both social scientists, studying current phenomena,
and members of civil society, working on global issues ranging from AIDS,
food security, and social transformation.
As noted throughout this volume, NGOs have gone through an unprecedented
period of growth in the past decade. With this increase comes a staggering
expansion of activities, publications, and intellectual output. Additionally,
the activities of both libraries and NGOs increasingly intersect as these organizations
attempt to provide essential services to support scholarly and social
programs.
NGOs clearly serve an increasingly important role in addressing significant
societal issues and are an essential node in the network that feeds the global
knowledge society. The need for further research and support of the informational
needs and behavior of NGOs is also evident. NGOs represent a tremendous
knowledge base that remains largely untapped and unnetworked. Collaboration
among NGOs and libraries is necessary to help preserve local knowledge,
detect slowly developing problems, aid in development efforts, and share bestpractices
among NGOs focusing on common issues.
Some of the papers in this volume were presented at joint Social Science Libraries
Section and Regional Activities Division session at the World Library
and Information Congress: 70th IFLA General Conference and Council “Libraries:
Tools for Education and Development,” August 22th–27th 2004, in Buenos
Aires, Argentina. Others were solicited through a call-for papers. Papers were
selected for their contribution to the overall understanding of information
storage, dissemination, and creation among NGOs with an attempt to provide
prospective from each of the worlds regions.
This volume is arranged in two sections. Section one focuses on the role of
research libraries and NGOs in developed countries to provide logistical and
physical support for NGOs throughout the world. Section two highlights case
studies and activities of NGOs and collaborating libraries throughout the world.
