Inequities among nations and individuals in today’s Information Society were targeted at a historic, 'first-of-its-kind' meeting recently held in Prague, Czech Republic. Forty participants from 23 different countries, representing all seven major geographic regions of the world, met to discuss Information Literacy. With the support of UNESCO, and organised by the US National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) and the National Forum on Information Literacy, participants discussed strategies to empower people so that they may benefit from existing communication resources and technologies in an Internet Age. The meeting acknowledged that to date, advancements in information and communication technologies have only increased the divide between the information rich and the information poor. Prague participants acknowledged the need for three elements to improve this situation, including: ready access to information and communication technologies; unrestricted availability of needed information; and an information literate citizenry. Participants of the meeting declared Information Literacy is a basic human right to life long learning. For further information, including papers and reports, CLICK HERE.
