New FAIFE Spotlight released on libraries and freedom of information
(IFLA/IFEX) - 21 May 2012 - In an attempt to assess the role of libraries as contributors to the freedom of (official) information published in the journal Alexandria in 2001, FAIFE chair Paul Sturges examined both the definition of freedom of information and the actual role of libraries in providing better access to official documentation.
