Projects supported:
* Programs to enhance library infrastructure, technology or
information services in ways that significantly expand their
ability to make STM (scientific/social sciences, technical and
medical) information available to those who need it —
researchers, clinicians, students, policymakers and the wider
public.
* Programs that expand library information resources in the
developing world through digitization or preservation of
information that advances science, health, the environment, and
indigenous knowledge.
* Training and education programs for library staff, students or
researchers, contributing to sustainable improvements in the
library’s capacity to provide STM information in the developing
world.
* Partnerships between libraries in the developing countries and
institutions in the developed countries to provide technical
assistance or training. Developed country partner organizations
include libraries, learned societies, universities,
intergovernmental organizations and other non-profit
organizations.
