Librarians Without Borders:
Putting Information
in the Hands of the World

When: Thursday, March 16th - Noon -1:00 PM
Where: Ottawa Public Library (120 Metcalfe), Auditorium
Cost: Free

This organization was initiated by a group of intrepid MLIS students at the University of Western Ontario to address the vast information resource inequity throughout the world.

At the talk, they will tell you about their challenges and successes and discuss how they are executing their first library development project in Portuguese-speaking Angola. Come and learn about how you can be involved in the Sponsor-a-Book campaign, which is being launched in May 2006 and is a great way for the Canadian LIS community to support their efforts. LWB is interested in building long-term relationships with other like-minded organizations and looks forward to meeting you!

Presenter: Melanie Sellar is the co-executive director of Librarians Without Borders.
