• W2110425061 abstract "In this issue we continue the series of articles on information technology for development (ICTD) which began with the paper by Rebecca Sears and Michael Crandall in IFLA Journal Vol. 36, No. 1, March 2010. In the first of two new articles on this topic, ‘Bringing the benefits of information technology to underserved populations: An introduction to ICTD for the library community’, Christopher T. Coward of the University of Washington Information School in the USA points out that, while organizations and innovations in the ICTD community have much to offer libraries, ICTD has grown largely outside the purview of public libraries. The aim of his article is to introduce the defining features, tenets, and focus areas of ICTD, and to provide examples of how partnering with ICTD could benefit libraries. The article concludes with a discussion of the overlap with telecenters, with its attendant opportunities and risks, and other suggestions for libraries when partnering with ICTD. The second paper on the subject of ICTD, ‘Symbiotic partnerships: The global library community and the ICTD stakeholders’, is by Fay A. Austin of Rutgers University Libraries, also in the USA. The author notes that, while it may appear redundant to promote collaboration between those working in the field of information and communications technologies and librarians dedicated to providing access to information for all, the role of library and information professionals in providing access to information, in communicating the advantages of the new technologies and in educating the user population in their use was not recognized in the call to action issued by the signatories to the Millennium Development Goals. Information professionals therefore need to educate ICTD stakeholders about the expertise and experience available in the global library community. From general discussions of information and development, we turn next to a consideration of an aspect of information work in a specific developing country, and one which does not involve information and communication technologies. In ‘Main factors affecting the preservation of Chinese paper documents: A review and recommendations’, Liu Jiazhen and Wang Jingxuan of Wuhan University in China demonstrate that the priorities for the preservation of Chinese documents are protecting the documents against air pollution and controlling pests and insects. The paper proposes the creation of favourable microenvironments for decreasing the acidification of papers and the adoption of various measures for controlling pests and insects. The next paper takes us to a different region of the world. In ‘Arab online book clubs: A survey’, Amany M. Elsayed of Helwan University in Egypt reports on a study of the current situation of seven Arab online book clubs – five from Saudi Arabia and two from Egypt – and gives a comparative account of their performance. Despite low participation and superficial discussion, and lack of services provided to readers, Arab online book clubs are becoming a promising environment for promoting reading, and motivate people from all ages to contribute and exchange ideas because the clubs have the primary objective of promoting and enhancing reading. Young Arab readers have begun to discuss books in online groups, and to establish their own online clubs that work apart from librarians and publishers in Arab countries. The author provides recommendations for the improvement of Arab online book clubs. We remain in the Arab world with the final paper in this issue,’System Migration from Horizon to Symphony at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals’, by Zahiruddin Khurshid and Saleh A. Al-Baridi. The paper highlights the difficulties and problems in library automation systems migration faced by libraries in the Middle East due to the lack of direct support from the systems’ parent companies. Local vendors lack the required expertise and resources I F L A" @default.
