IFLA/UNESCO Internet Manifesto Guidelines

IFLA/UNESCO Internet Manifesto Guidelines have been recently published (as well as their translation to spanish) by the Committee on Free Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE). The Guidelines specify general principles held on the Manifesto by giving suggestions that try to help professionals of libraries and politicians. Its objective is to establish policies and practices for public access to information in public libraries. The contents of the Guidelines are arranged in 9 chapters: Principles of public access, Public libraries and other public access points, Users, Content, E-services, e-governance and e-democracy, Technological choices, Barriers, User training and Internet use policies.
