Libraries activating for Access to Knowledge: 26-27 May 2006 National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy hosted experts at an international seminar on the role of libraries and access to knowledge
On 26-27 May 2006, the prestigious National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy hosted experts from former Soviet Union, Mongolia, South-East Asia and the Middle East at an international seminar on the role of libraries and access to knowledge. Thirty specialist librarians from twenty-five countries debated how copyright law impacts on access to information and knowledge, especially in the digital age and discussed policies and strategies to safeguard future access to our cultural and scientific heritage.
Access to knowledge is essential for the functioning of a healthy and democratic society. Libraries are conduits that enable all members of the community to benefit from global information resources, ideas and opinions. However legal and technological restrictions on the sharing and re-use of content over the last decade have restricted library services.
Organised by Electronic Information for Libraries (eIFL.net) and local partner Informatio Consortium , the event is supported by the UNESCO Information for All Programme. High level speakers from Egypt, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Ukraine and the UK shared their expertise with participants in a lively two days of learning and debate.
